30mm
Flex Feed Chute
In the late 1970’s SAI completed its initial design for a feed chute for the 30 X 173mm and 30 X 113mm ammunition. The early chutes were used on the GAU8 and M230 Automatic Cannons.
Examples of weapons using SAI 30mm Feed Chutes are:
- 30 X 173mm with MK15 link, ATK MK44
- 30 X 173mm with MK30-1 link, Rheinmetall (Mauser) MK30-1
- 30 X 173mm with DM170 link, Rheinmetall (Mauser) MK30-2
- 30 X 173mm linkless, GAU-8
- 30 X 113mm M230 Linkless
- 30 X 113mm with MK1 link, M230 LF
Link Eject Chute
SAI currently manufactures link eject chutes for the following weapons:
- ATK Mk44
The Mk44 has two unique link eject interfaces, one uses latch style connectors and the other uses locking pin connectors. SAI can provide link eject chutes for either style:
- Rheinmetall (Mauser) MK30-1
- Rheinmetall (Mauser) MK30-2
Link Eject chutes can be customize for specific applications.
