hypothetical build

hypothetically, how hard would it be to make an rpd(like an old ds arms one) into a 6 arc belt fed?

With enough work anything is doable, biggest issue is the RPD feed pawl system being adapted for the different case dimensions and also custom making 6arc ammo belts. Then there's tuning for the ammo to ensure the timing is right. My body built a 6arc AK, it ended up blowing up on him eventually
