I purchased a fight lite upper and looking for a linker machine. Does anyone have any recommendations or ones to stay away from.

The only ones I've seen are the rectangular trays with a "shove" bar, but those are pretty slow since you have to align everything first.
I think it's faster to just use your hands.

This one would probably be efficient, but it's crazy expensive: https://www.swedishordnance.com/linker-m27

OP:
I use a "tray" that I found on line for cheap.

They all seem to follow the same modified military one in design.

It works well and much quicker than doing it by hand.

I linked about 1000 rounds last winter with the E-Z link. Currently OOS, but works well if you can find one.

I have one of the tray types made by GUIETTE MFG. which has interchangeable trays for different types of links. It works great and will last a lifetime. It's much better than doing them by hand if you plan on doing several hundred at a time.
YMMV
