These highly collectible military rifles have a flaw in their fire control group and should not be considered safe to load or shoot.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;An identified issue from a component in the FN M249S fire control group may adversely affect the rifle\u2019s standard operation, and under certain circumstances, a reset failure within the hammer group may cause an unsafe firing event,&#8221; FN said. &#8220;To correct this condition and restore consistent and safe operation of the firearm\u2019s fire control group, it is necessary for FN to replace specific components in all FN M249S rifles.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While FN isn&#8217;t highlighting the exact nature of the failure, any potentially faulty fire control issues can lead to serious problems and should be addressed as quickly as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem affects all M249S models, including the Standard, PARA and Limited Edition rifles in black and flat dark earth. It does not affect M249S rifles sold after January 1, 2022. Older M249S rifles that received updated components following the 2017 recall may still be affected and should also be sent in for the 2022 update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FN will update all affected rifles at no cost. Owners can contact FN America to arrange for a shipping label and any necessary packaging online or over the phone at 1-800-635-1321, extension 145 or by email at M249Srecall@fnamerica.com. Hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/fn-americas-503-concealed-carry-micro-9\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"fn-america-issuing-mandatory-recall-on-range-of-m249s-rifles\" title=\"FN America Issuing Mandatory Recall on Range of M249S rifles\">FN America\u2019s Going Even Smaller with the FN 503 Concealed-Carry Micro 9<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;FN is deeply committed to providing customers with the safest, most reliable firearms possible,&#8221; the company stated in their notice. &#8220;As such, it is imperative that all recalled product is received back as soon as possible. Patience and cooperation is appreciated as we receive, inspect and service these firearms for a direct return to you.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Owners can double-check to see if their rifles are affected through FN&#8217;s recall portal on their website with the serial number of their M249S. FN America expects the turnaround time for the fix to take about 30 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have an FN M249S do not use it unless you can confirm it&#8217;s unaffected by this issue.
