    Belt-fed, semi-auto...soon? Ever?

    Are they coming back? Also, how about semi-auto Brens?
    Listen, and understand. That Liberal is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse- only fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until your guns are gone.

    Would be useless if the belt was limited to 5 rounds no?

    That's sort of an ill-defined section of the firearms act. Disintegrating link is generally believed to be limited to 5 rounds. However, pre-1945 cloth belts are confirmed in law to have no capacity restrictions though.

    M2 50 links are not limited 1919 3006 links are not limited
    Only post 1945 are ie: 1919 308 links = 5 rnd
    Pre-orders are horrible for everyone involved. They never go smooth. We will not be doing a pre-order to bankroll this project.

    If 308 fits in the 8mm belt you would be OK
    Not that you would ever see a semi MG3 imported from Pakistan :D

    How about something in 7.62x54R to take advantage of cheap ammo?
