Doing it with an RPD is super easy - it's just a legacy system. But all the parts are sized correctly since the parent cartridge is the same.
M249 takes some more doing since you have to figure out what/which belt/link system you want to make/use. There's really only once choice for off the shelf, and it's the non-disentigrating RPD belt. Tooling cost to make new disintegrating links is very expensive - but then stupid cheap to churn them out.
