Tired of loading up plain old magazines on your tactical plinker? Lakeside Guns has the answer for you — a belt fed .22 LR. Yup, the subsidiary of Arkansas’ Lakeside Machine has a nifty conversion for AR-15 style rifles, called the Razorback. Quite simply, this modified upper receiver allows shooters to chew through rimfire ammo via a belt. Perhaps best of all, it requires no modification to the lower receiver to slap one on. The aspect of the Razorback that caught my eye was the ejection of the spent cartridge through the mag well, which is pretty nifty. Overall, the Razorback appears to be mainly a novelty. But what the heck, it would be the talk of any gun range it showed up at.
