HDD MK48L® BELT FED MACHINE GUN, NEW HDD DEVELOPED AND MANUFACTURED LONGER MK48 RECEIVER AND REDESIGNED BOLT & SLIDE FOR SUPERIOR RELIABILITY.  THE LONGER RECEIVER GIVING LONGER BOLT TRAVEL OF THE MK48L® CURES THE RELIABILITY PROBLEMS WITH THE ORIGINAL MK48 WHICH WAS A 7.62 ACTION CRAMMED INTO A SMALL 5.56 RECEIVER. THIS CAUSED A "NO ROOM FOR ERROR SENARIO" WHICH THEY TRIED TO FIX BY OPENING UP THE GAS PORT. THIS MADE THE ACTION SLAM TO THE REAR CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR, HIGH FELT RECOIL AND SHORT RECEIVER AND BOLT LIFE. THE STANDARD MK48 RECEIVER ONLY LASTS AS LITTLE AS 50,000 ROUNDS.

THE LONGER ACTION TRAVEL OF THE MK48L® ALLOWS MUCH BETTER RELIABILITY, MUCH LESS WEAR AND HAS LESS FELT RECOIL FOR SUPERIOR HITS ON TARGET. PARTS INTERCHANGE BETWEEN THE MK48 AND MK48L® IS 90% WITH THE RECEIVER AND FEED COVER BEING THE MAIN DIFFERENCES. THE HDD DESIGNED SLIDE IS MUCH STRONGER AND IS MADE FROM PREMIUM 8620 STEEL WITH NICKEL BORON. THE HDD BOLT HEAD IS MUCH STRONGER AND MADE FROM PREMIUM 9310 STEEL, DEEP HEAT TREATED AND NICKEL BORON.
