michaelkih Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 I'm not sure why I have never posted this here. I picked up this RIA M60 last year, and recently had it completely rebuilt by Desert Ordnance and had the E6 kit installed on it. I am very pleased with the gun so far, and it's my favorite of all my machine guns right now. Here are a couple pictures of it for you, and a crappy video I made a couple months ago. I hope you enjoy the pictures and video. http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu302/michaelkih/a3491bc0-ee83-450e-804c-6e3d81fc08e2_zpsf832bdb5.jpghttp://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu302/michaelkih/61b054c0-60bd-48da-8792-56230cddde4e_zps0b39eba7.jpghttp://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu302/michaelkih/e837d8c7-e651-4360-8c5e-50a6f867673a_zpsec31ca24.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG08 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 What is the E6 version ? How is it different from the E4 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raining Brass Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Very cool. Nice job with the video explaining the mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffen Und Bier Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Sweet! How long did they have it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffen Und Bier Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 And how much was the buttstock? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelkih Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Several differences from the E4 kit, but not a ton. Butt stock, grip, safety, and front hand guard to name a few. It took them 2 weeks to rebuild, refinish, and assemble the parts. No idea how much the butt stock was. I bought the entire E6 kit for $7500 though.

nuge Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Beautiful gun as I've said elsewhere. Thanks for the additional details here. Could I ask how your acquired the E6 kit - was it from from Dersert Ordnance as part of rebuild package? LMO is offering an E4 by DO built around a maremount amnesty @55K, but seems a little steep...Keep those pics and vids rolling in - they are appreciated. Hoping to see new ones on the sten, ppsh, and Thompson... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffen Und Bier Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Thanks. I'll have to make due with my E4 kit for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuge Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Then there's the M60D if you want to vehicle mount or get serious about shooting down those planes at Big Sandy... Anyone got one of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 I have a complete D-kit. By far the best configuration for standing up behind a pedestal and shooting from. I leave off the brass catcher frame/bag. I've had this at the creek in years past. Course I had to take it all apart and find a buttstock when we hung it in the door of the "Loach" so Gunny could shoot it. I also have the same setup for my MG42 which is technically for the MG3, but of course is backwards compatible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuge Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Extremely cool! A glimpse into NFA renaissance man's territory IMO - D kit, loach, mg42, Gunny and the Creek all in a brief response to an m60D question. Sounds like that kit is a must for serious shooters...

Waffen Und Bier Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 The M60E3/E4/E6 and the Stoner M63A have to be the coolest belt feds out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lzxray Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Michaelkih, nice video and 60E6. I have an E4, and it is certainly my favorite beltfeed. BTW, the most improved feature added by US Ordnance is their belt pawl to go with the E3/E4 top cover. This pawl increase belt pull, but works well with older E3 or E4, non-railed top cover as well, doesn't have to be US Ord. A couple tips if you are not aware: 1) You may want to keep a dummy round at the end of the belt so the bolt doesn't slam foward and cause premature wear on the op rod's caming tower, and 2) keep a stone around to smooth out the op rod cam tower....reallly a weakness in the design, but it still takes a while to ding them. Bolt and op rod - keep plenty of spares; 60 eats them! http://i395.photobucket.com/albums/pp31/lzxray/IMG_1924_zps766e0d0f.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgdoc8307 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Great tip about the "Dummy Round " at the end of the belt- I will use one on each belt from this point forward! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
