Thrasymachus posted this link to a dealer who claims to have the semi's coming, does anyone believe this? The add is 2/3 of the way down the page and  below that they advertise semi M60s. I want a semi M249 but not for $8500.

That ad has been up for years. US Ordnance sold a few in about 2000 but they were reported to not run well. They were at Knob Creek with them and had to switch parts between a few of them to get one to run.

This is just pure speculation on my part, but Correia over on the thehighroad.org mentioned that FN had something amazing in the works, but he could not say what.  Could it be a civi M249?  Maybe, but then again that might just be wishful thinking on my part.  Here is the individual post and the thread that he mentions this.

I am not surprised about the price.  I have seen semi-auto M60s online go for around that.  With it being a specialty item that really only appeals to a small segment of the gun community, and the cost of manufacturing I cannot imagine it costing anywhere reasonable.  

wolver98, please let us know what Urban Armory says about their advertisement, when they get back to you.   I would like to know if I eventually will be able to save enough pennies for such a gun.

Their server must  be down, the links aren't working. I will try later and thanks for the links. No reply yet from the Urban Armory. No listing of the FN at TNW's website.

Received an email from Urban Armory today, it just said I asked too many questions to be answered in email and asked that I call and they also said that the guns "are being made but on the back burner due to military contracts."
