For just a mere $2,995 greenbacks you to can have your own belt-fed AR15 semi-automatic legal to own upper. Pretty cool. Called the Shrike it is going to be adopted by the U.S. military (in automatic) as a very light weight (less than 8lbs) machine gun. A little brother to the SAWs. Interesting:

Seems awful pricey for something so worthless. For that price, a civilian can get six pre-ban Beta C-Mag's or twelve post-ban ones. Better yet, stick with the 30-rounders. Mate these with a bull barrel upper and you're ready to rock. Belt-fed guns are awkward for the most part. They are overly complicated and heavy for a semi-auto.



Don't get me wrong, I still want one!!! :cool:

Or for even less, I'll come over and torch you barrel and get it over with even more quickly. ;)

I mean, how often do you need to shoot more than 300 rounds? I know lots of folks that have 10 30 round USGI mags that work just fine. If you're crankin 'em off so fast that you can't take 2 seconds to switch the mag out, the barrel isn't gonna last more than 2 mintues anyway.

10 round postban belts are kinda lame

Huh? How can I do that legally?

I correct myself. I meant to say that post-ban ones are being sold for about $250 but I didn't clarify that this is only to LE, Military, or FFL's with a department letter. I suspect that if the AW ban sunsets, the going rate will be much lower than $500. Unlike the Belt-Fed upper, Beta magazines have had over 10 years of experience and field use to work out the kinks.

The CMG lives! The more things change, the more they stay the same.
