Dear Half-Mast,
Can you mount an M249 or M240B machine gun to the MK93 mount?
We can’t find any information on that.
SFC T.M.
Dear Sergeant T.M.,
The M249 and M240B can be
mounted on both the MK93 MOD
1 and MOD 2 with the MK93
and ammo bracket, NSN 1005-
01-531-1666. The ammo bracket
can hold either the 200-round
metal 7.62mm ammo container
or the 200-round plastic 5.56mm
ammo container.
You can also mount the M249 and
M240B on the M197 mount using the
LMG/MMG
mounting
system,
NSN
the AAL for the M197. The LMG/MMG
holds a 200-round ammo box and
provides a travel lock for pedestal- or
vehicle-mounted weapons. It attaches
to the weapons with two quick-release
pins.
Remember, you can Fnd almost all
mount info in TM 9-1005-245-13&P,
which is on the ETM site:
I
t’s amazing how much you can mount on your rifes and machine guns now: night
sights, aiming devices, laser pointers, thermal sights, and telescopes, among other
things. It’s also amazing how diF±cult it is to ±nd out exactly what you’re allowed to
mount on your particular weapon.
The TMs For the weapons usually don’t cover sights and aiming devices and
sometimes it’s hard to locate TMs For them. And then there’s the problem oF how to
zero the sight or aiming device.
IF you run into that trouble, check out the
Small Arms Integration Book.
It has
everything you need to know about what you can mount on which weapons, how to
do it, and how to zero the sight or aiming device.
