    Who makes an affordable belt fed upper?

    Hi guys, it looks like my belt-fed dreams are going to come true after all. Fightlite makes the cheapest upper I can find, but its still $4k :eek Are there any cheaper ones out there?

    I think the semi auto M249 is only around $2-3k so that might be an option too $8k, but still tempting

      I had one of the older Ares Defense uppers. Unless you must have it do the math.

      1 556 beltfed upper $4000. Infinite capacity but typically 100-200 round boxes.

      1 100 round betamag $350

      1 100 round korean betacopy $100

      I won;t mention surefire since they are junk

      1 40 round pmag $20

      Guess what I run in my selectfire ARs?

          I would want something far more reliable so 40 round pmags. Never had an issue with them as long as they are not dropped fully loaded. Belt fed guns are not anywhere near as reliable.
