They have sure changed since I was a young grunt. I damn near got strangled by the sling on a night rappel in training. They used to be pretty heavy, yours looks a lot more trim than my 70s version.

That's it? I thought you were gonna show us something uncommon. After spending 6 months as a qualified M60 loader in the Navy you'll never be so totally apathetic over belt feds as I am. GPMG hipster.
Don't forget the high-speed video please. |

3 E6 barrels. 1 I don't plan on ever using. The other two I rotate out when I shoot the gun. I'll probably now leave this most used barrel with the Rugged brake on it all the time. Yes, E3 barrels will work. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Getting a barrel of appropriate twist and modified gas system to run super heavy sub's through that beast. |

I remember when you could buy a brand new Saco or RIA M60 for about $2,800..............
PS Nice weapon OP!!!! |
|
I'm more than a little jealous.
Do you have a device to link all that ammo or do just have heavily calloused fingers? |

OP, what suppressor is that and who made the adapter? I need to pick up one for an E4. That's a good looking can.
I've also never seen that cartridge pouch from LBT. Interesting. |

View Quote No adapter needed. It's a QD suppressor that attaches to the Rugged muzzle brake. Suppressor is a Rugged Surge762. I sell them. You are correct, LBT does not make these. I had a special run made and sell the extras now for $115 shipped USPS. |

It looks like it's got one of those shoulder things that goes up

It's rare to see a show and tell thread in GD without a single person bashing it.
Well done, OP. That gun is my Unicorn. Now I hate you. |

Well, beside from The OP how many of you have shoulder'ed thAt bitch and rocked a 200 rd belt?
Sadly, mine was with blanks. Awesome. That's a lot of coin |

Now let's see it as red as an electric stove element. Yes. Cook bacon on the suppressor for ultimate excellence. We should see if it is possible to season a suppressor like you would a cast iron skillet. |

I took better pictures of it today with ammo loaded in it ready to go as well. The can adds a lot of length to the gun, but you really don't notice it at all when shouldering it. We'll see if that opinion changes after a couple hundred rounds. I look forward to trying it out in the next week or so. I'll be honest, I'm a little giggidy about shooting it suppressed. It's been 10 years since I shot suppressed belt feds. Thanks for looking, and I hope you enjoy these slightly better pictures as well. http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu302/michaelkih/DSC02438_zpslxcbiduo.jpg http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu302/michaelkih/DSC02443_zpsdycc5blp.jpg http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu302/michaelkih/DSC02442_zpsscvytwrt.jpg http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu302/michaelkih/DSC02441_zpsyanzjc1t.jpg View Quote you didnt happen to buy that as a kit from a guy over at weapons guild did you? |

Damn do I hate you.
Next thing you will do is post a video doing a belt dump. |

No. I mailed Desert Ordnance the RIA M60 and they rebuilt and refinished it, then installed the kit for me and mailed it back in like 2 weeks. They are on top of things over there.

Worth more as an E6 or as the original Pig?
Alterations permanent? Hate to see another transferable Pig get butchered, with the limited transferables. |

It wasn't butchered. It's a new model. Yes you can always add or remove the parts, except for one part is riveted. Which that could always be repaired if someone found the desire. |

Nice PIG!!!
I miss running the 60, but don't miss humping the bitch. That version looks a lot more comfy on the neck than the E3 was. Can't help but notice the equally impressive patch of Verdilagos(Purslane). There is enough there to make a shitload of Tacos, and a couple salads. |
