[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Hot or Not?

Posted: 8/16/2017 4:35:07 PM EDT

Just a mock up... Thinking of doing something a little different. Any input, good or bad is fine with me. Thanks...

I think it's ~~cool~~ hot. Build a bump SAW.

Meh.

Plainly not. But do be sure to check/verify your point of impact with and without the bipod deployed. I would expect a noticeable shift due to the bipod being in direct contact with the barrel and affecting the barrel harmonics as a result. jmtcw.

What fills the gap where the launcher would go?

I was gonna have a rail custom machined to fill the gap.

True, but so is a real M60 - not the E3, of course.

I didn't think this idea would be a big hit with everyone. Especially the "purists". I kinda think the bipod fin holes compliment the holes on the upper handguard. But maybe I'm the only one =)

I've been looking for a M60 bipod.....Threw this together with some stuff laying around the shop....Keymod was for testing.....and is being replaced with a home grown barrel shroud that mimics an MG34 ....might look for a 34 bipod at Knob creek....

Bumpfire stock traded for and inbound as well.....tested it on a post sample.....

Not my fave, but if you like it then thumbs up.

I think it's hot.
How do those hand guards work? Isn't the bottom completely open?
Where did you get the bipod and how did you attach it? I know the colt light machine gun had a similar bipod.

Honestly, while I think it looks awesome, I'm not a bipod guy. I bought one Harris style bipod and it's just collecting dust on a shelf. I've always used the roof of a car or a tree or fence post as a rest. That's the kinda gun that would look cool sitting on top of my entertainment center as a conversation piece though.

This, I think it would make a great unique display piece.

Right now it's just a mock up. If you look closely, only one of the legs is on the bipod. But it would be attached the same was a M60 bipod is, have the barrel turned down to .70 and take a M60 FSB, shave of the sight and just us it as the bipod stop - the flash hider would hold the bipod on.

Yes the bottom is completely open, I would have a specialized piece made to close it up - I could probably have a KAC M5 bottom rail modified to close it up nicely

That is actually a great idea! A functioning display/prototype.
