Rules (Under review):
-
- NO BUYING, SELLING OR TRADING of guns or accessories. Take that to Reddit and /r/GunAccessoriesForSale or Armslist.com
-
- Censor all personally identifiable information in posts including serial numbers on firearms.
-
- Any post or comment advocating illegal action will be removed and the poster warned. A second infraction will result in a ban.
-
- Unironically suggesting the SKS as a usable rifle in the 21st Century when there are things like the AK and AR that cost only a bit more might result in a ban, it depends on how we feel.
-
- Discussion of hunting is acceptable but please put "CW: hunting" in post titles. Debating the ethicality of hunting is also fine, but keep it civil and don't derail other people's threads.

MODERATORS
Is it potentially filled with water or coolant? Or maybe it's easier to swap barrels quickly with a larger guard.
Nope - the Colt LMG has neither water cooling nor a quick-change barrel mechanism. There was an earlier prototype which featured the barrel change part, but that didn't make it to the final iteration
I was wondering why no quick-change barrel. Looking at it, that flimsy gas tube just hanging out there seems like a potential problem.
