7.62mm Plastex

In the late 1950s SAI completed its initial design for a feed chute for the NATO 7.62 ammunition linked with the M13 links. The early chutes were used on the M60 Machine Guns but were quickly adapted for other weapons as they became available.

Examples of weapons using SAI 7.62mm Feed Chutes are:

• 7.62 X 51 mm Ammunition with M13 Ammunition Links:
  • M60
  • MAG58
  • M240
  • FN’s Mk48
  • M134 Minigun
