here are two NSNs and LINs for the M249 machine gun:
•±
Automatic rifle (AR), NSN 1005-01-127-7510 and LIN M09009
•±
Light machine gun (LMG), NSN 1005-01-451-6769 and LIN M39263
But the only version stocked, stored and issued is the AR, no matter which NSN
is ordered.
When you order the LMG, its NSN will be substituted in the system by the AR’s.
The supply system and property books will reFect this substitute as “LIN: M39263
and SUBLIN: M9009.” Both LINs will be listed.
To change the M249 from AR role to the LMG role, you will need to requisition
the ammunition bracket adapter, NSN 1005-01-425-6541, from DLA and the M192
tripod, NSN 1005-01-503-0141, from the tripod/mount item manager. The tripod/
mount item manager is Mariann Haniak, DSN 786-1649, (586) 282-1649, email:
mariann.haniak.civ@mail.mil
But when you request LMG disposition instructions or place your LMG as ±TE
(report of excess) through the supply system, property book of²cers must change
the LMG LIN and NSN back to the AR NSN and LIN before turning in the weapon.
Units should keep the ammunition bracket adapter and M192 tripod.
If you place an LMG into the supply system, your supply status will be TD, which
means “not returnable–special instructions provided.” The special instructions will
tell you that the M249 must be turned in as an AR.
When you ship M249 ARs to depot, remember to package them correctly so they
make the trip undamaged. Include all the documentation and serial numbers so the
depot folks can easily process the weapons.
Send M249s to this address:
RIC: BA4
(DODAAC)SV3120
DLA Disposition Anniston
7 Frankfort Ave
Bldg 360 ATTN: Justin Houston
Anniston, AL 36201
The depot’s DODAAC and POC can change. It’s a good idea to ²rst check with
the major item manager, who’s listed below, before sending in the weapon.
