Looks like the M240 MG made by FN MAG.

The predecessor was a MAG 58.

7.62 belt fed MG.

Replaced the M60 MG

Ohio Ordnance Works M240-SLR. And you can buy one: LINK

My wife and I went on Friday and talked to one of the employees for several minutes. I'm a big fan of their semi-auto 1919A3 BAR (LINK). Damn fun gun to shoot.

All of their creations are outside my price range for purchase but I love the work they do.

I'm still an M-60 kinda guy, but I wouldn't sweat the small stuff over having a 240B either.
