azboater Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Can a knowledgeable member explain what additional parts are required to convert an M60E3 back to E1 configuration assuming you just have the E3 gun and no other parts? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nice thing about all the upgrades is that they are plug and play and almost tool-less conversons. I'm still stuck at E3, but the railed top cover does have appeal.

johnsonlmg41 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 And how do you even keep up with that amount of cleaning and maintenance without a staff Retirement.....LOL. Mine stay clean by not having time to shoot them. That's one of the beauties of firearms, good values, low maintenance if you choose, easy storage. It takes seconds to wipe down an HK sear and getting close to the value of diamonds by carat weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83Baron Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 I guess youre right No firing + humidity controlled safe = long term peace of mind. Still a lot to keep track of, and good luck if you move And how do you even keep up with that amount of cleaning and maintenance without a staff Retirement.....LOL.

MGTedFL Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Holy s**t, Batman. I wish I had a room secure enough to display my toys. They'd be on the back and side walls, with the recliner right in the middle and the 60" flat screen in front, so I could watch my beloved Indy 500, surrounded by the "girls" Alas, hey must remain locked-up, only coming out to play.....on occasion.....

mattnh Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) As noted above: o barrel/ bipod assembly o topcover o butt stock o foregrip o feed tray hanger o single notch oprod + a few more things that are different: 1) Trigger group2) Top of rear sight (E3 has a hole vs bar on original M60)3) Op rod spring (multi-strand in original M60)4) Op rod guide (E3 uses a thicker guide rod)5) Carry handle6) Bolt plug type7) Front sling swivel8) It is possible you would want an old-style buffer as well to be really accurate Edited May 28, 2019 by mattnh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
