lol, the irony

Google Reddit Cryostructure look at the bottom of the thread

I paid for 3 uppers. After delay, was promised 6 uppers. Was promised a refund last year. Was sent tracking info - but they never actually shipped the refund. Also ghosted after following up numerous times… -M

https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/the-forgotten-m60e1-an-early-attempt-to-improve-the-m60-machine-gun-44822608 Anyone have some better pictures of the E1 prototype at the Ft Benning Infantry Museum? The one picture in the article is pretty fuzzy… -M

Interested

White - most likely API red/silver - APIT

Figured I’d add a picture of a failed mk43 DuckBill flash suppressor to this m60e4 barrel thread (apparently it was well known design issue with them and they went back to the e3 cage-style flash-hider)

Great info - thanks for sharing! Would be awesome if you ever get a chance to document a DO semi conversion as well.

I think there are <135 Maremonts from the SNs and talking to folks who actually acquired them directly from the factory. I’m pretty sure about this number. There are prob 1.5-2X many RIAs, but I haven’t seen any firm factory numbers and that is just a guess (50-100 by others (Erb,Metro,KAC,Springfield,T161,…) ignoring the Stemple disallowed guns My WAG - 300-500 (yeah, pretty big range).

Just for the transferee (receiving) trust & related responsible persons

Individual can transfer to a FFL/SOT across state lines. You do NOT need a FFL in the same state as the original owner. There is a potential benefit to using a local FFL - can make shipping a MG much simpler for a non-FFL… The other case an individual can transfer across state lines is for a C&R gun where transferee has a C&R FFL

Intriguing - never heard of that - I guess can see how that might work if you just grind off the raised “link outlet chute” piece welded on the top of the m60 tray….

You will need a different account Each account is associated with only one entity / person

I have quite a few barrels with fat gas systems, but never tried swapping gas system styles on a barrel before. I think that when you chop down an E3 long barrel to commando length, you might have to open up the gas port slightly. I'm def interested to hear Aaron's take on this...

Cool stuff - thanks for sharing the pics and story!
