I've got a few questions about transferable M60 machine guns. I figure some of you guys mights have some answers. Thanks!
1. Where are the serial numbers stamped on the gun. For example, a Browning 1919 has them stamped on the right sideplate. 2. Any tips on what to look for in a solid gun? 3. What is a reasonable price for a good shooter? There seems to be a large range of prices. Anywhere from 25K to 40K+. Why such a difference?? |

the 60s have come down a bit within the last year or two. Matter a fact most belt feds have come down a bit.
they were going for around 32K but you can actually get a decent 60 now for around (ballpark) 23 to 25K. Maybe even a little cheaper if you look around. Rob |

There seems to be a large range of prices. Anywhere from 25K to 40K+. Why such a difference?? 1. It depends which part (trunion, side rail, etc.) is registered. 2. Check out http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=6&f=22&t=306242. 3. Prices vary due to which part is registered, if the gun is a reweld, who manufactured or remanufactured the '60, upon the '60s configuration (E1, E3, E4, D, etc.), and if any spare parts or ammo are included with the sale. My recommendation for a shooter is to seek out a non-reweld anywhere from $20k-$25k. Mike |

stay away from rewelds of anything.
look for transferable trunion guns. if something happens to the rest of the receiver, its rebuildable. the trunion can be repaired, but they are pretty solid. and hold up to abuse for the most part. Mint guns still command decent coin. but anything nice cost money. |
