this is to everyone who owns an mwg 90 round drum. YOU actually own a 100 round drum... If you know how to use a screwdriver disassemble the mag, remove the little wodden block that has been painted black, reassemble and enjoy. I have had mine for years and it works fine with no jams to date and downloaded to 80 rounds can store for years. the spring wont fatigue, it's like downloading a 30 rounder to 25
If only Colt would put the LE1020 into production... :(
Anyway, as for the above video, this guy is obviously firearms-illiterate. He might have less difficulty cocking that CAR15 if he'd brace the stock against his shoulder instead of his leg...
A friend of mine just purchased an LWRC M6A1, and the gas piston system is awesome!! 500 rounds last weekend, and the bolt is clean as a whistle.. and the receiver was cold to the touch the whole afternoon. A mag like this with a gas piston system on an AR just makes sense... unfortunately, the US military often frowns on things that make too much sense.
shoot more than 5000rds through it, even with cleaning, I can almost guarantee that he will be zip-tying his piston rod in place because they have a bad problem with jarring loose. That's why the military is not adapting the piston system. Going through some shooting classes with AR's and M4's I have found that out very fast. On the range, we literally had to zip-tie almost every piston rod to keep the class going.
U.S. military rejected it but need to replace the unreliable, can't-shoot M16/M4 mags-M249 LMG. The Singapore 100-round drum works but the unreliable C-MAg might be forced on us...
An IAR with a FOLDING STOCK, GAS PISTON system and a LONG BARREL using a reliable drum like the MWG 90-rounder should replace the 15-pound, clunky M249 LMG that cannot reliably fire from box magazines and slows down whoever is carrying it.
I'm worried a direct gas system in the IAR will damn it to stoppages like M16/M4s, and don't want to give up 800m range with a short barrel
Why dont we drop the M249 for something like a FN MK46 or even the MK48? Same manufacturer, but they are both lighter and seem to be much more man portable. 18 lbs for the MK48 for a 7.62x51 firing LMG. and how well do the ammo boxes that have belt inside that clips to the bottom of the gun work? The seem like they would work well, but i have no first person experience with them.

Both the Mark 46 and Mark 48 are variants of the M249.
