Gents,

I read with pleasure the thread on Best Shootable Transferrable MG's

It got me wanting to build a similar list, but for 07/02 post-samples and Title 1 host guns.

I've got a running list so far, but would love to hear your opinions:

-M16/AR low shelf with DIAS
-HK with registered trigger pack - MP5/G3/HK21, etc
-M1919 with registered bolt
-M2HB with registered bolt
-M249S with registered bolt

I've seen a DIAS for AK models made by Armament USA. Don't have first hand experience with it, nor do I know anybody personally yet who does either.

What other good ones are out there? Belt fed, sub gun, rifle, whatever.

Thanks!

I really enjoy the pm63s

The AK DIAS works well. Not as easy as a proper conversion though.

My RPD is fun, suppressed sten is always a big favorite.

Not that they’re hosts but love shooting my Lewis gun, Madsen M50 and Smith 76

One of my favorites is a Swedish K with a Suomi drum.

Another one that surprised me was the CETME L. I was not expecting it to be so smooth on the recoil impulse.

Great list so far!
AUG is fun and also easy to do with a surplus military stock. The cheap parts kits seem to have dried up though.

I also love the RPD. My example is an original Polish one, but I think you can convert a semi-auto receiver using a modified original lower and a bolt carrier group relieved to clear the block.

I’m surprised to see the pm63 mentioned several times. I’ve been putting these off but it looks like I need to get one built!

They are really neat. I'm working on a hammer fired one. Very slowly.

The only FA one I've played with acted like the main spring was too weak and didn't really run.

So I have the first 2 checkd off but have stalled.

Would love for someone to pm me to talk random 07/02 fun. I need a belt fed post sample and looking where to go

M249S would be my recommendation. It’s easy to convert and not too bad on the ammo budget. It’s also pretty easy to find spare barrel assemblies (including MK46 barrel assemblies which weigh less).

You’ll need an M249 op rod and slide assembly, and some FCG parts. You can use the FCG housing that already comes with it.

If you want something less expensive then get a Lima Six upper.

Any UK-59 kits still floating around? Those are a wild ride and a very unique belt fed. I did a semi but I'm only ~$2k into it. Barrel was something like $600 and kit around $1200. Got some good deals on belts and cans for $40 for a belt and a can.

1919
HK stamped series
M249s
M240
AUG
M16
Glock
Bren
Uzi
RPD
10/22
PS90
FS2000

I’m sure there are more. Off the top of my head, those are what you can make a conversion device for as an 07
