This initiative started around 2009, with a 300WM variant of the M240B that was fraught with peril (disintegrating links don’t like belts). Various companies have been working on it for almost 15 years, and the guns are pretty great at this point.
The original 338NM belt fed was a General Dynamics program, there was also a mini gun intend to replace the GAU-19 .50BMG Gatling gun in certain ground/rotary wing applications. I fired about 2000 rounds from the GPMG version…all manually linked match ammo, I believe factory 250gr Scenar Lapua loads.
The 10 200rd belts were probably $10,000…

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!
