Where are you buying linked 556 from?

It is seriously easy to link m27 links together by hand.

I buy gun labs M27 links and link while I’m watching tv. It really gets effortless after awhile but your hands do get dirty.

Don’t mean to hijack the thread, but have a question about M27 links. Do they corrode, or require any type of lubricant? I’ve never had any around (linked belts) long enough to find out.

If they’re stored wet, 100% the links will rust and pretty heavily. It also damages the ammo if left there long enough and certainly wouldn’t run it through a personal firearm. By damage ammo, it will scratch and dent brass when de linking. It’s not even worth the time unless it’s thousands of rounds and even then I would not enjoy doing that and then sorting through everything, and cleaning the ammo salvaged. The links wouldn’t come back from that either.

So zero source? And thanks for all the responses about how easy it is Link. Yes I realize that but that was not the question.

Sg ammo currently has some. Ammo seek may have it as a search option.

Good ol google gets lots of results.

This is the best place I’ve found for linked ammo that’s good stuff. If you contact them and don’t go through gun joker, it’s cheaper. Has done bulk discounts in past.
