Saco, Maine, The failure of the heavy-barrel Garand derivations, the M15 and M14A2, was counterbalanced by the standardisation of the M60 light machine gun in 1956. This had a gas system originating in the Lewis Gun, by way of Ruger s T10 and T23, and a belt feed mechanism provided by the Service showed that the M60 had severe faults of its own, including a bipod fitted onto the barrel rather than the gas tube and a poor zeroing.

7 The M60E1 made some of the obvious changes, by replacing the bipod on the gas tube and moving the carrying handle, but the guns are still regarded as inferior to the MAG and the Russian PK. Recently, Saco has produced a much lightened gun with a fore pistol grip in an attempt to improve the M60 in a light support role. The M60C is a stripped down M60 with an electric trigger and a hydraulic charger, widely used as a fixed gun on helicopters, while the spade gripped M60D is widely used on pintle mounts in helicopter or gunship Arthur Sadler Birmingham, Warwickshire, England.
