FN America M249S 5.56NATO PARA
About the FN America M249S 5.56NATO PARA
The FN America M249S PARA is the shorter-barreled variant of FN America’s semi-automatic belt-fed M249S, running a 16.1" barrel instead of the standard model’s 18.5" for a more compact, maneuverable profile. Like the standard M249S, it’s chambered in 5.56 NATO, available in black or flat dark earth, and built on the same tooling FN America uses for its military contracts. It’s a niche, high-interest piece — reach out to Miami Guns for current availability.
