Overview

The OOW 240 Patrol allows customization at the Unit level with the ability to use standard M4 buttstocks and commercial bipods and vertical grips all while reducing weight over standard infantry models. While weighing almost five pounds less than a B model, the addition of the collapsible buttstock also brings the weight closer to the operator allowing easy off-hand (standing) accurate fire. OOW’s patented Select Fire Trigger Assembly is a standard feature on this model.

It fires the NATO 7.62mm round with standardization offering benefits in terms of training, logistics, and joint operations. Improvements in the OOW barrel manufacturing process have increased the life of the OOW240 barrel to over 20,000 rounds.

Providing a competitive and superior quality alternative, OOW offers a complete GPMG package, including operator and armorer training, special tools, barrels, parts, and accessories. Depot level repairs and rebuilds are also available. The addition of the OOW patented Select Fire Trigger Assembly greatly increases the capability of this weapon.

  • The United States Armed Forces have been using variants of the 240 since the mid-1980s. It was first used in a vehicle/coaxial role, but was so popular it was quickly adopted by the infantries of both the United States Marines and the United States Army during the 1990’s.
  • The OOW240 has proven to be more durable in tests and in the field than the M60. It fires the NATO 7.62mm round with the standardization offering unique benefits in terms of training, logistics and joint operations.
