i think belts are supposed to be unlimited right?
Only if they were original, manufactured before 1946 (IIRC). Anything made or designed after must be limited to 5 rounds, so basically it's ok if you have 5 linked rounds but god forbid you have 6, even if you don't own a belt fed firearm.]
Anyone have a link to the legislation?That's right, boys. No joy on modern belt feds.
Anyone have a link to the legislation?
Belt fed doesn't have a magazine... Limits of 5 rounds what?
there is a company down there that makes uppers that look like a mg42 and use .308 links, that one would be able to use all the ammo u want since it is an original link, also availble in 8mm muser.
