This package pairs the FN 200-round plastic ammo box with 500 M27 links sized for 5.56x45mm, giving M249 and M249S owners the hardware to build and store linked belts. It's aimed at shooters running the closed-bolt FN M249S semi-auto, where the rifle accepts both magazine and linked belt feed. The links are the same M27 pattern used with the platform, and the box is the standard 200-round can that hangs off the receiver. If you run a belt-fed 5.56 rifle, this is the supply side of keeping it fed. Browse our wider magazines and feed hardware selection for the rest of your loadout.
The M27 link is a disintegrating, push-through design. Each round seats into a link, the links join into a continuous belt, and the belt breaks apart as rounds feed and eject, leaving spent links clear of the action. Five hundred links is enough to load multiple 200-round belts with spares left over, since a full can holds a 200-round belt. These links are cut for the 5.56x45mm case, the same chambering FN lists for the M249S, so they index correctly on standard 5.56 and .223-pattern ammunition. The ammo box itself is the FN 200-round container that clips to the platform, keeping the belt protected during transport and feeding it cleanly under the receiver. MPN 56471, UPC 845737006983.
Buyers who already own an M249S or a registered M249 use this kit to keep belts ready ahead of a range day, since hand-loading links is the work you want done before you're on the line, not during. The 500-count link supply means you can stage several loaded belts and reload spent links between strings. It also makes a sensible spare-parts buy, as links wear and get lost over time. When you're ready to round out the rest of your feed gear, our rifle magazine selection and broader magazine accessories cover the standard 30-round mags the M249S will also accept.
The included ammo box is the FN 200-round container that mounts to the M249/M249S. The 500 M27 links let you build belts beyond a single can load, so you can prep one 200-round belt and still have links left over for additional belts or replacements.
These M27 links are cut for 5.56x45mm NATO, the same chambering FN lists for the M249S. They index correctly on standard 5.56 and .223-pattern ammunition for building linked belts.
Yes. The M27 is a disintegrating push-through link, meaning the belt separates as rounds feed and eject. Spent links clear the action and can be picked up, inspected, and reloaded. They do wear over time, which is why a 500-count supply gives you spares on hand.
These are the standard M27-pattern links and the 200-round ammo box used with the FN M249S, which accepts both linked belt and magazine feed. The links match the 5.56x45mm chambering FN specifies for the platform.
