    Surprise, AZ
    FN issued a recall on Friday on ALL M249S's manufactured before Jan 1 2022. Just said a problem in the trigger group could lead to an unsafe condition and are owner's are to stop using them and notify FN. They would send a new box if needed and shipping would be at no cost to owners.
    Any one experience any problems with their M249s or know what the exact problem is?

    Maybe too easy to make them function as a belt fed is intended to be used lol
     
    This is the second recall on the m249s. The first was in October-ish 2017.
