M27 Links
M27 5.56mm disintegrating links are steel ammunition links used to assemble belted 5.56×45 NATO ammo for belt-fed platforms. Designed to release cleanly after each round is chambered, they provide smooth, consistent feeding in systems like the M249 and Lima Six. The open, non-reusable design minimizes ejection mass and eliminates spent belt management during sustained fire.
Price range: $42.50 through $400.00
M27 5.56mm disintegrating links are designed for building reliable belted ammunition in belt-fed 5.56×45 NATO platforms. Each steel link holds a single cartridge securely during feeding and releases cleanly once the round is chambered, helping maintain smooth operation during sustained fire.
These links are manufactured from steel and finished to resist corrosion, making them suitable for range use, training, and extended storage. The disintegrating design prevents spent links from accumulating in the action, reducing the chance of feeding interruptions and keeping belt-fed systems running as intended.
M27 links are compatible with platforms that accept standard 5.56 NATO disintegrating belts, including the Lima Six, M249 SAW, FN Minimi, and many commercial belt-fed builds. Sold in bulk, these links allow you to build belts to your preferred length and configuration. While they can be reassembled, they are typically treated as consumable components after repeated use. For shooters running belt-fed 5.56 systems, M27 links offer a straightforward, proven solution for consistent feeding and dependable performance.
