| Are there any M60s in private hands and if so what would the going price be? |

Ironic, that Post 249 is a question about M60's. M60 C&R Model T161 BuyNow! Price was $65,000.00 US ORDNANCE M60 E4 MACHINEGUN (.308) Buy It Now for $13,500.00 POST DEALER MACHINEGUN AND CAN ONLY BE PURCHASED BY MILITARY/LE AGENCIES AND CLASS III DEALERS WITH A DEMO LETTER |
(I wish I could) It was to settle a debate at work on what one would cost.
The cheapest one I've seen over the past 12 months has been for $25K. I think that anything under $30K today is a decent deal. |

I picked one up about 1.5 years ago in "mint" condition for $27,000 and prices have been flat since. Of course, I needed to bring it up to "E4" spec, which cost another few thousand. Parts, E4 or otherwise, aren't cheap. Quite fun to shoot, and the ROF is nice and low, which is a good fit for the current cost of 308. Joe  |
A good question. I filed a FOIA with ATF over a different make/model MG. They said that their computer system didn't allow for searches by make/model/etc. and quoted (IIRC) about $2,000.00 in fees to have someone conduct the search. You can ask, but you'll have to pay to know. Incidentally, there may be no way to know. Aside from the fun of searching for M60, M-60, M60E3, M-60E3, etc., you'd also have to put up with the clowns who filed a Form 1 for a "Cong Killer" or whatever. (You are making a new firearm with a F1, so you can name the firearm whatever you want.) Got to see this with a Model B Uzi conversion that was Form 1'ed as a "Jewmatic." And no, I only wish I was kidding.  Mike |
The number designation. The M2 1919 tripod and M122 M60 tripod are virtually the exact same thing. (leg bolt hole spacing change & flat transitions from leg support to the head of the tripod) Shit, you'll really have to look at. |
$2k for having research assistants sift through records, I guess... Apparently it's not as easy as sitting down with an Excel spreadsheet and sorting by model name. A F1 makes a new gun; technically, you can call it whatever you want. It's just that most people keep the existing model or do something that makes sense. (It also means you don't have to engrave any new name!) Mike |

There's two NIB M60s on Subguns at the moment FOR SALE: M-60 NIB MAREMONT & TRIPOD & EXTRAS - $46.5k FOR SALE: Maremont / Saco M60, NIB, Original Box and UNFIRED - $46,995 |
| JBArms.com has one in stock for ~ $27K. I thought about it but I'm down to 18K of 308 and already have two machines guns in that calibre. |
The rail topcover and heavy weight fluted barrel look awesome. Oh hell, I'll probably need to set aside another $3000 or so for those parts now. Joe |
That's about the coolest looking pig I have ever seen. Yes, I have M60 envy. |
Then I refer you to this post:

$33K and it's an off brand: Erb ............ www.jbarms.citymax.com/catalog/item/871198/4505059.htm Unless there's another one that I missed .................... |
We have a gun store here in Las Vegas called American Shooter Suppy. I remember seeing an ad in the paper (obviously, years ago): M60 SALE !!!!! $1800 each. Of course I didn't have $1800 at the time or for many years after. |
