The M60 is a gas operated, disintegrating link, belt fed, air-cooled machine gun. It fires from a closed bolt and features a quick-change barrel. The barrel is Stellite-lined and chrome plated for long service.
The M60 machine gun fires 7.62mm NATO standard ammunition, it can penetrate light armor. The M60 proved its combat effectiveness in Vietnam by providing defensive / suppressive fire enroute to and within numerous hostile landing zones. Exploiting its capability to provide responsive firepower on the move, the M60 again proved its value and versatility during Operation Desert Storm.

as a semi auto from a NEW reciever would it be NON-restricted like the VZ858??

it isn't on the OIC list :wink:
 
If it does run for more than 5 rounds you wouldn't be able to see Sh*t anyway from the dust cloud, they do still puke the gasses straight down, don't they?

x2 :?

The M60 is not likely to go down in history as the premier machine gun. I’d take a WW2 German MG42 over it AND you can have it linked as long as you like in Canada. :wink: :D :mrgreen:
 
Maybe you could make it work on the old 30-06 M1919 belts; they are still able to have 100 or 250 (full) capacity in them. After all, it's the belt thats controlled, not the gun, And if the belt was origionally made for a gun manufactured 1945 or earlier, then the belt is not restricted in it's capacity.
 
You can get a semi MG34 from Marstar with no problem, but since the 60 uses DISINTEGRATING LINKS, instead of solid belts, I don't believe the 5-round BS even applies to them.

I'm pretty sure once you hook them together, past the 5 round limit, you are in contravention of the law. That gun wasn't in production in 45, so the cartridge limitations would apply, and the belt won't be exempted from the prohibition.
Just because the mag (belt) disentegrates after it's used would likely have no bearing on the cartridge restrictions. Fact is it's together when it's loaded.
Maybe I'm wrong on this, but it could cost a guy a heck of a lot of money to find out if he's right.

One thing a guy could argue is that the Cdn M1919 in 7.62, which also uses the same links as the M60, was made prior to 46, (albeit later modified to .308) and the links would be exempted. It's the gun which the belt, either metallic or fabric, was made for that has the date, not the belt itself. So a 1953 dated belt for a M1919 should be OK because it is an origional (not a reproduction) and was made for a type of gun in production before 46. Then again, those links were made for the M60, and the C1 GPMG was adapted to use them, so that wouldn't fly either.

Is this the gun of Rambo?

yup

but onto the link arguement. isn't each link in itself a magazine? so wouldn't you just be putting together a whole bunch of 'mags'. i look at it like the sig550 mags. you can link 20 of them together for a 100 round legal capacity.
 
i had a problem with customs about 4 years ago when i wanted to import some mags for a spanish destroyer carbine,(a small bolt action in 9mm largo) the mags hold 6 rds customs wanted to confiscat them or pin them to 5 rds even though they were for a bolt gun and they didn't fit anything else.So I contacted the NFA and they sent some info to customs who then released the mags. The NFA sent me the same info and according to the info a belt is not a mag and therefore you can have a 200 rd belt if you so chose.
