michaelkih Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 I remember seeing this a while back. Just curious if any progress has been made on it or if I missed the boat. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shattered Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 You missed the boat, but it's not your fault. VERY few were were made like 15-20 years ago. Almost none of them ran reliably so really, it's like you missed your big chance to get a ticket for the maiden voyage of the Titannic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron in Mohnton Pa Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) @michaelkih that was me that posted that awhile back on the old boards..... There was a .223 kit that was invented that ran perfectly. The kit had run 20,000 rounds through it with no jams of anykind. It was very impressive. It was different from JRW's conversion kit and corrected the problems it had. We were trying to figure out how we could mass produce this. Most of the items we could have machined for the kit. But some precision items, such as the M60 barrel collar, would be very difficult to replicate. A .223 barrel is essentially made from .223 barrel stock milled and with M60 factory components on it. Seeing that we could not have these items produced in bulk or fabricate them, we set up a deal between the creator of this kit and a larger corporation in Pa here to purchase it and produce it. The purchaser obviously having the ability to produce this and sell it to the M60 community. I will not name that corporation for the time being...... The deal went through and the kit is here in Pa. I've inspected it and it's a great design. Production has not begun yet, but when it does, I will be selling these kits here on sturm. Below is a video on my YouTube channel of the actual kit in action.

Aaron in Mohnton Pa Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Michael, I will keep you posted! The hopes are to get about 100 kits done the first year. You'll get one for sure when the time comes. thanks, Aaron - Mohnton, Pa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambonee Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) I too. am interested in a kit. Edited January 12, 2020 by Rambonee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DINK Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Yep- as I said in the other thread, my checkbook is standing by. I'll happily take one of the .223 kits and one of the 7.62x39 kits, whoever is producing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAW23015 Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 I would also be a buyer of one of these kits... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPinFL Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 I beg everyones pardon, but why convert an M60 to 556 when you can get a Shrike? Covert it to 7.62x39 and you will have something! BP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
