I was thinking that since disintegrating links are not made for 6.5 Grendel, if it were feasible to convert an Ultimax, it could serve as a test bed (not as a field-ready LMG, which I agree should be belt-fed) to demonstrate the advantages of a constant-recoil 6.5mm LMG.
Ultimax's are few and far between in the collector's market, and I doubt one of them would want any changes made, but since 3 of the Ultimax variants have quick-change barrels, it might be easier than one thinks using a bolt and barrel replacement. The KAC LMG would be the main platform I'd be interested in testing first, since it uses constant-recoil and is belt-fed.
