I learned recently that there is an 07 FFL holder in my area who does modifications on existing machinegun designs, to include an HK fire control group/grip on SAW's, Mk46's, Mk48's, etc., as well as caliber conversions on them. I think they would be the best route to take with this project.
I was looking at old pics of guys in SOG who carried the RPD for its lightweight, compactness, and firepower.

I have to tell you how impressed I am with the handling and balance of the RPD. It's been a while since I played with one, and it is very slim, light, and about perfect for an LMG.
I also saw something really cool from Tango Down...an AK quick barrel change system with an interrupted thread system, and a detent protruding out of the barrel trunnion. It would be cool to use that design on the RPD so it has a barrel change feature.

Cool concept though.NRA life, GOA life, SAF, and TSRA

I coulda sworn there's a video of Gene Stoner himself, from the '50s, wearing an ammo backpack and firing an LMG in exactly the same way. OK, hell, gimme a sec to Google it. . . . OK, got it.

While it would be great to see a Grendel LMG even if it feeds from RPD belts, to have the slightest chance of being adopted by the US military will require disintegrating links.
