...It's been said by other Grendel fans, none of whom have professed any expertise or experience in design and fabrication of machine gun links...

Not true -- we did track down at least one person familiar with the process. He indicated that the development of the link is straightforward...

As I recall, said individual had some experience in stamping sheet metal parts, but no experience in design and development of machine gun links.

I don't however, recall whether that discussion was in this incarnation of the forum or the old one. Either way, you or anyone else is welcome to search through several hundred posts to find it.

Uh, if you're going to cite it as support for your position, shouldn't you search for it?

This bone has been chewed enough, let's move on to more critical items in the quest for a new machine gun.

Again, what is more critical to a Grendel LMG than design and development of viable links? Without a usable link design, there can't be a belt-fed machine gun.
