neonelect Posted June 18, 2025 Report Share Posted June 18, 2025 Hey guys! Getting back to U with another cool piece I've found. I would love if you could tell me more about it... I don't have any book for it (would you be so kind and recommend?) so thought I will just drop it here Here are the photos: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Rpw41ICbpsYfDGJ2Fr9wEpS3mlxKNsQW I had a hard time finding the info on the markings - found some that these are transition markings before Saco was stamped. Are you guys able to tell me the year more or less? Anyway, appreciate any help and info... Oh and yup its full auto unaltered All the best from Poland!

David Evans Posted June 22, 2025 Report Share Posted June 22, 2025 As a helicopter doorgunner in 1968, I would place it in that time frame. Prior to firing, you need to get some safety wire and wire twister pliers for that gas cylinder. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattnh Posted July 28, 2025 Report Share Posted July 28, 2025 The rivets aren't factory set. Looks like a rebuild of some sort. Would be interesting to see the serial numbers on the trunion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSMGguy Posted September 4, 2025 Report Share Posted September 4, 2025 (edited) Had several M60s in my US Army cavalry platoon in the 1970s. Never could get them to run reliably. Hope you have better luck! Edited September 4, 2025 by TSMGguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold out 45 degrees and twist, then clip and pigtail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Evans Posted September 27, 2025 Report Share Posted September 27, 2025 I still have my original wire twister pliers. Did not do near as much as you did, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
