FN MINIMI® 5.56 Mk3 with long rail feed cover

A variant of the FN MINIMI® Mk3 5.56 with a long rail feed cover is available. The one-piece rail is long enough for in-line mounting of two optics, for example a non-magnifying day optic + magnifier, or day optic + night vision optic. A retention latch holds the cover open despite the weight of optics so that loading, unloading and clearing are still fast and easy. A flip-up non-adjustable rear iron sight is provided for back-up use. Available in black and Flat Dark Earth.
