This initiative started around 2009, with a 300WM variant of the M240B that was fraught with peril (disintegrating links don’t like belts). Various companies have been working on it for almost 15 years, and the guns are pretty great at this point.
The original 338NM belt fed was a General Dynamics program, there was also a mini gun intend to replace the GAU-19 .50BMG Gatling gun in certain ground/rotary wing applications. I fired about 2000 rounds from the GPMG version…all manually linked match ammo, I believe factory 250gr Scenar Lapua loads.
Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,
Gary (Just down the road in Springfield)
Forgive me if this is the incorrect area, I signed up to this forum just now because I wanted to be on the list to purchase a copy of your autobiography. Please feel free to pass my information along to whomever is selling. Thank you so much. I look forward to it!
I like the Tillie in my picture. They are supposed to fit loose (2 fingers inside hat band), have mesh for cooling, and hold their shape after washing.
