M249 non-firearm simulating a functional M249 firearm

摘要

A non-firing housing imitates a functioning receiver for an M249 machine gun. The non-firing housing includes one or more of a number of alterations as compared to a functioning M249 receiver. Such alterations include: providing a non-firing barrel support with substantial dimensional differences as compared to a standard M249 barrel support; providing a non-firing barrel support with additional structural features that prevent any bolt head (and particularly a standard M249 bolt head) from entering the battery position; providing right or left non-firing bolt rails with dimensional or structural or positional alterations as compared to standard right and left bolt rails for a standard M249; providing the non-firing housing with the absence of an ejection port; providing a non-firing right bolt rail with the absence of a hinge bore; and providing a non-firing left bolt rail with the absence of an ejector pin bore and back stop material.

主权项

1. A non-firing housing imitating a functioning receiver for an M249 machine gun, the non-firing housing including:
a non-firing housing body; and a non-firing barrel support secured to said non-firing housing body, said non-firing barrel support being dimensioned differently from the standard M249 barrel support so as to prevent receipt and proper functioning of one or more of a standard M249 bolt head and a standard M249 op-rod, wherein said non-firing barrel support has an extended axial length that is greater than the axial length of a standard M249 barrel support such that the non-firing housing prohibits the receipt and proper reciprocation of a standard M249 op-rod.
