I spent two years in Korea as an M60 shooter. I've done a lot of disassembly in my life. I remember it took three minutes to disassemble and assemble all the assemblies. I'm glad to see the M60 again with this video.

Brings back memories.I used to carry this for 2 years back in the day.

Thanks, that brought back a lot of memories. I was in US Army stationed in West Germany in late 70s to 80s and the rifle range we had locally was not rated for firing our M-60 machine guns. Fortunately we had a Battery Commander, Captain Nieman, who was friendly with officers in German Bundeswehr unit so we were able to take our entire Battery to German army training area called Muenster Lagen Sud where we could fire our M-60s and also practice EOD procedures and blow things up with C-4. I was NCOIC of the range during the live fire and it was quite a surprise when half the M-60s in our unit would not fire. It seems there is a part that can be put in backwards if you are not careful during reassembly of the weapon. I forget what part that was but maybe you know.

I used to get yelled at for doing unauthorized maintenance of the guts of the feed tray cover -

Brings back lots of memories some good some bad mostly good. Was very happy when they put the m240 into service. Never carried one was a E7 by then. But to me a new m60 was fine weapon.

YEAH ! IT'S "DA PIG",my uncle used this in vietnam, he totally loved it ! and i just got one, thanks for this video, now i can clean my gun !

This was the first video I saw of the channel :D

As a grunt I loved the PIG I could take it apart and put it back together blind folded!

Too many tools! Thank you for the video!

Effective weapon none the less had one in Baghdad, however the 240B for us Army folk was a competitive upgrade and a fucking durable machine gun.

Just got my M60 back from Dersert Orn. Good video!

Thank you so much.

Great job. Now, take those pieces and put them in a box that already contains a disassembled M16, M249, and a M240B, blind fold yourself and then put them all back together.

Finally a video on the disassembly, thanks.

For some reason, I had no memory of the barrel latch mechanism and couldn't remember how to change out the barrel. Of course, it's been more than 35 years since I had to fire one.

Enjoyed your video, I was F.T. leader, radioman, and carried extra 60 ammo for my gunner on every patrol, & occasionally got to fire the pig. The M-240 was to take it's place but we all know that that was bullshit. The 60 packs the best punch, and I would love to shoot the pig again. Semper Fi

Could you show how to reassemble it

Thank you

Are there any special tools required to assemble the bolt? I got a spare bare bolt, and still need to get all the small parts.

can you make a video of a complete breakdown

Reassembly is backwards disassemby, why would he have to show you how to put it back together? Unless youre a gun bunny and simply enjoy watching it ;)

Buena

Eminem watched this video

M60 Gunner 81 to 85 hear I remember so many nights trying to get the Armorer to take my pig at midnight slowly getting F,ed up on romilars. Korea was the shit.

OORAH!

you seem to know a lot about the M60.. think youd have the skills to backwards engineer at least some basic components, like the bolt and oprod for example?

Nice machine gun, I guess, but It seems like a pain and a half to clean.

Well played sir. lol

Eminem did it under 4 minutes

TEACHER GOOD DISASSEMBLE I WANT THE DISASSEMBLE -> CRAFT.
