I run an A5 on all my M16 configurations. If any configuration requires a carbine extension you can always add a spacer.
Video of my Shrike running an A5, Kynshot RB5007 and Tubb 308 spring:
Cyclic rate under 600RPM.
Note that this won't work with steel cased ammo and some brass cased ammo that isn't US domestic as they seem to be a little fatter.
However, if you stretch/lube the links the ammo probably will work, but I never stretch or lube links.

2. Does anyone make an M27 linking machine, and actually have it in stock ready to sell? The only one I've found is the Gunlab E-Z Link at MGW and since I bookmarked it last year it's never been listed as in stock.

I have a linker but never use it since I use used links and if one is bent and you are shoving a bunch of rounds into links at the same time, you won't know which one is bent.
