That barrel does look a bit short. I think its because of the forward grip being there.

Very nice looking weapon. I carried a saw for a long time and I think this would be much more fun to hump around a jungle.
As for the other topic, I think Shaggy stated it best except that the saw uses the M27 and the M240G (and other varients) use the M13 links.

Thanks for the correction. I had the nagging feeling I might have gotten the M27 confused with the GPMG link, but I just couldn't remember "M13". |

To M4A3:
Would those mystery rounds be in 5.56 Lutefisk, by any chance? (Just a quick poke at our Norsk fellas in the land of 10,000 lakes)

The shrike is the Firearms manufacturers version of vaporware...they do not exist yet. Alot of guys have been on the waiting list for a couple years now.
They were originally going to cost $1500-$2000 a unit but now are $4995 a unit. :barf:

I go :barf: because it has been several years since they started taking money and promising deliveries. I remember the articles and ads that were out and the "6 months" till they were going to be available etc etc.

Wasn't a SAW
I know what a 249 looks like, and that wasn't a 249. I looked a hell of a lot like a Shrike. Got a long hard look at it, an M4 with a belt-feed upper. Our Automatic Rifleman couldn't take his eyes off it! Seriously! The platoon's E-6 had to snap this kid out of it.
