Expensive, proprietary, made by a small company with not much of a reputation behind them, weird links, blowback, small market. Pick one.

FM had theirs for a while and I thought they looked really cool, but never bought one because the price tag was more than buying more postie real belt feds.

It tickled my interest for a minute yesterday so I looked. I spent about 10 min on it and everywhere was OOS.

I would keep an eye on sturmgewehr.com and subguns.com to see if one pops up. You could post a WTB ad there too and someone might offer one up.
