US Army Awards $4.9 Million Contract for More FN M240L Medium Machine Guns

Tuesday, July 1st, 2025

(McLean, VA — July 1, 2025) FN America, LLC is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a $4.9 million contract to supply the U.S. Army with additional FN® M240L medium machine guns. The M240L was originally adopted by the U.S. Army in 2010, after a joint development effort with FN to create a lighter, yet durable, medium machine gun.

The M240L has been the cutting-edge for lightweight medium machine guns with an overall weight reduction of five pounds from its predecessor, the FN M240B, without any impact to performance or longevity. The 18 percent weight reduction was achieved by incorporating titanium into the design, including the receiver, and introducing new manufacturing methods to adjust for the material properties.

“The M240L continues the collaborative effort between FN, the U.S. Army and the individual soldier to provide the most effective weapon systems for the warfighter,” said Mark Cherpes, President and CEO for FN America, LLC. “The development saw the introduction of new materials along with new manufacturing techniques that have paved the way for the future generation of military equipment. We are extremely proud of this product and look forward to working with the U.S. Army to deliver against this contract.”

The M240 general purpose machine gun (7.62x51mm NATO), derived from the FN® MAG 58, was adopted by the U.S. military in the late 1970s, and has been in continual service since being introduced. FN has created multiple variants of the M240, including the M240 coaxial, the M240B, M240L, M240D and M240H models.

Throughout its history, FN has been one of the largest suppliers of small arms to the U.S. military and continues to develop innovative, future technology. In addition to the M240 and its variants, the company currently holds contracts for the FN® M249 lightweight machine gun; the FN® MK 46, MK 48, MK 17 and MK 20 SSR for USSOCOM and various other contracts.

LTG Mohan Visits Holston, Radford Ammunition Plants

Tuesday, July 1st, 2025

ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL, Ill. — On back-to-back days in mid-June, Lt. Gen. Chris Mohan, Army Materiel Command deputy commanding general and acting commander, visited two of the nation’s most important ammunition production facilities — the Radford Army Ammunition Plant in Virginia and Holston Army Ammunition Plant in Tennessee.

The locations are government-owned, contractor-operated and are two of 18 subordinate installations of the Joint Munitions Command, headquartered at the Rock Island Arsenal in Illinois.

Both visits affirmed the Army’s prioritization of a modern, resilient munitions infrastructure. The engagements provided an opportunity to highlight ongoing modernization efforts, industry partnerships, and the challenges facing the U.S. munitions supply chain.

At RFAAP, Mohan received an orientation on the site’s historic and strategic significance, and he toured several key production areas, including the nitrocellulose boiling tub house, solvent propellant lines, the modern nitrocellulose facility, rocket final pack, medium-caliber load assemble pack, and the new state-of-the-art advanced ammunition facility.

“As a large-volume producer of nitrocellulose and a supplier of solventless propellants, RFAAP plays a pivotal role in national defense,” said Lt. Col. Marie Hough, RFAAP’s commander. “The discussions focused on accelerating modernization timelines, the importance of strengthening the munitions workforce, and enhancing collaboration with industry partners to ensure long-term readiness.”

At HSAAP, a large volume producer of explosive material, Mohan took part in a windshield tour through a variety of production areas with stops at the strong nitric acid unloading and storage area, the flashing furnace modernization project, and the melt-cast modernization project building.

“We discussed emerging challenges with strong nitric acid, and federal regulations that could impact production methods,” said Jeff Worley, the deputy to the commander at HSAAP. “Lt. Gen Mohan encouraged us to seek creative solutions through ongoing dialogue with Department of Defense leadership and regulatory agencies. Transparent and clear communications with state and federal agencies are critical for continued success.”
