With the death of the chance of me getting the Inokatsu, and my solemn look at trying to ever be a Rifleman, I am rebirthing the M60e4, just get alittle sad having to choose the Galil all the time, although it is turning out to be a nice addition to the collection, just needs some love. I bought it to be a backup, or light weight gun, not my main so time to get my main gun back into the fight ========================================== So right now running from a UK Stock version of the Gun, (I got the UK model because when I originally got the gun Spartan Imports was getting them to America from Europe and A&K some people got the UK version other got the American Version) I will be running a log of upgrades and what I think works. Any advice to someone with ZIP experiences with guns is appreciated.
The final goals of this project it to get a gun that can accurately engage targets with precision at 50 yards, and surpress enemies at the range of 75 yards. I would like a reliable gun over a fast shooting build, yeilding FPS of 380-400 Not to over the top to ask for with carefully thought out modifications.

Friday April 20, 2012 Parts Ordered: -A&K Box Mag to Replace the Destruction of the Previous One.
-Mad Bull 6.03 455mm inner Barrel. This has me worried a bit. The gun says it has an inner barrel of 450mm, hopefully this does not leave me with an inner barrel sticking out the end. I went with a 6.03 for alittle higher quality of a barrel then the stock one, I do not intend this thing to be that accurate, so a 6.03 actually seems like a bit overkill to me, but it's the length they had for the price I could afford. I got this under recomendation from a long time runner of A&K M60e4s who really got me excited about this process as his gun is killer.
Promethius 115M 170% Spring So I do not know alot about springs this is once again under recomendation from my buddy, who runs this in his gun, and swears the gun can handle it stock. Since I do plan on replacing the gears and piston with rienforced and polycarb parts this should be fine.
Angel Red 'Sniper' 70 degree Hop-Up Bucking After asking around I was told this was the best bang for my buck, and since I will more then likely also be using this page as a running gun log, I might be finding this is the part I will be replacing the most, after everything is said and done.

Currently Attempting to Mod Something so I can run a AMP Support Elcan Style Scope. I have some ideas, but I really wish I could find a G36 rail laying around somewhere as I think I can 'hop' over the curves on the top loading cover. Right now it's looking like I will be JB weilding small peices of metal as a riser for a standard rail.
Notes on the scope: Once again this rifle is not ment to be a sniper rifle, the scope is there to help my rather poor eyesight. I like the magnification. The other pro to a scope is to really tell if you are getting the rounds on target and if someone really is being a sore sport and not calling hits (This function I hope to find as secoundary.)

April 28. 2012 I have affixed a standard rail to top cover with JB wield I think it will hold rather nicely and am impressed with my handywork. Not that it require much, but d**n it feels good to do something right every now and then that isn;t graded with a d**n percentage point system. That said I will happier then hell when college is over.
New spring is in, gun chronos at 380 big improvement over 320. ROF is reduced slightly with bigger spring, not enough for concern. 6.03 barrel shows large improvement in shot placement, and the hopup nub seems to work about the same.

Well a 60 isn't really used to kill it's main job it to get rounds down range.

My job isnt to kill its to get you and your kwa on target. If you bought a 60 to kill people you wasted your money man.

The thing was brand new out of the box the day before and locked up on the field off to evike to see if I can't get one in the mail before Wounded Warrior...

5000+ Rounds through the gun. Ended in jamming up the box mag which was a simply fix to fix, but it might require me to be ready to switch to Handguns when it happens again.
Still to lazy to replace spring in the gun...
The Top cover rail is now affixed, if this doesn;t work gonna have to track down a better rail for the job we will see this weekend.
