Well no, I did not think so. I thought they are pretty well priced. I see Bowman's new parts kit for a SAW coming in for $7.5K. I see FN made M249Ss on GB for $9.5K. If the parts kits are $7.5K, a complete gun from FN at $9.5K is a great price. So good, I did not bother with a parts kit.

Surely that was not the point of your post!

If you are talking ammo, usually people who spend that money don't shoot it. Its like fast cars. They don't get driven fast very often.

I do like how Ian points out that there are relatively few MG owners that do not want to see restrictions lifted but someone who bought this might be one of them.
