wo great modifcations For the M249 machine gun have been around For some
time. But unFortunately some armorers have never gotten around to getting the
MWOs done. Stop putting it oFF! The time is now For improving your M249s.
MWO 9-1005-201-50-1 added an accessory mounting rail to the Feed tray cover.
The rail lets Soldiers mount the AN/PEQ-2A and AN/PAQ-4B/C laser pointer/
illuminators, AN/PAS-13 thermal weapon sight, AN/PVS-4 night vision sight,
M145 machine gun optic, and combat identifcation system For dismounted Soldiers
(CISDS).
MWO 9-1005-201-30-6 replaced the hand guard with a Forward rail assembly,
which provides a second rail For mounting optical and electronic devices.
These MWOs have long passed their completion dates, so you won’t get MWO
Funding or assets For them. IF your M249s haven’t been modifed, you must order
the MWO parts through normal supply channels. Order the top cover using NSN
1005-01-547-2614. ±or the Forward rails, order right accessory rail, NSN 1005-01-
559-1947; leFt accessory rail, NSN 1005-01-559-1948; and socket head cap screw,
NSN 5305-01-101-9426.
Armorers, iF any oF your M249s have received these modifcations, TACOM
wants to know about it so they can update the serial numbers in the Maintenance
Management InFormation System (MMIS). Go to:
IF your M249s have been modifed, make sure their serial numbers have been
reported through your local PBO and MWO coordinators, too.
