The M+G project / MG09 was a project by Artillerie-Inrichtingen for a rifle/squad automatic weapon to replace the M1 Garand in the Dutch armed forces.[1][2][3][4]
The M+G project is a gas operated, long stroke piston operated rifle/squad automatic weapon using a 6-lug rotating bolt. The barrel is removable and comes with a folding vertical foregrip attached to the gas block. The belt feeder is a machined simplified variant of the MG42 and is on the left side of the receiver allowing the use of sights as well as target acquisition.
