M249 Carrier to STANAG Magazine Well Adapter


Fightlite: Respectfully fuck yourselves.

M249 Carrier to STANAG Magazine Well Adapter.  Has a built-in single-shot sled adapter, compatible with Ares, Fightlite MCR, Tribe Tactical and other beltfed uppers.  Can utilize plastic FN ammo carriers or the cloth "nutsack" ammo carriers.

Remember: BRASS to the GRASS


INSTRUCTIONS: Print the two halves at 100%, flatside down by default with no supports, and screw together with 8-32 tpi machine screws.  Strong and indestructible. I have tested it with the heaviest link holder which is the plastic box with 200 rounds.

CAD render, 1 piece, untested provided for reference only.

The one-piece model has not been tested and is just for reference if you want to edit it or test it or whatever. It will probably break on the layer lines if you print it upright.

    AR15/1919 hybrid thing

    I've been messing around in CAD software and I recreated parts of a Browning 1919 and an AR15.  My idea is to create an unholy union between the two.  Basically it's a heavy-metal receiver shell that you can attach an AR15 upper to and it uses an AR FCG, but it handles like a Browning 1919, complete with spade grips and can be mounted onto an M2/M3 tripod or a standard vehicle mount.  There wouldn't be any real purpose for this, but I'd like to put a FM-9 9mm belt-fed upper on it, or a Fightlite Industries MCR.  Basically the fun of owning a Browning 1919 but with cheap ammo.

    A flat-based AR receiver in progress.

    Browning 1919-like receiver with an AR15 upper.
    The extension below the bottom plate is a protective housing for the AR15 fire control group.  I could have just cut the finger off and avoided that unsightly extension, HOWEVER, I wanted to be able to use off-the-shelf FCG units such as the Fostech Echo Trigger without having to modify it.
