I think they finally got it right

Now im not sure about other peoples experiences but my A&K SAW experiences are all bad its just craps out.
However after making several different model rifles i think they've finally got it right.

As you may know A&K released an M60 E3 Navy style M60. And so far all ive heard are wonderful things about it ive watched several reviews and read several and they all say its a great rifle so it will be my next and final rifle unless someone can change my mind.

I don't no but it might be cheaper to just upgrade/fix your gun

HE hasan l96, he needs a support weapon, theres no weapon to upgrade/fix

Yea A&K supposedly fixed a lot of their internal issues in 2008. Now I have not gotten into any to compare the earlier version with the latest so for that I apologize. But people are picking up the M249 SAW its gained popularity.

And speaking of SAWs DO NOT BUY THE ECHO 1 M240B this September. It is TOO heavy and can only be used in the PRONE position because of the stock.

nah, get this instead.

the echo 1 is only like 200 something. Thats all i'll pay for a OP Prop thats a gun. lol

ah, come on, it's SAW's big brother!

I was lucky enough too be in the local shop when these things first arrived. All I can say is wow.

Features that people don't tell you about:

-ROF regulator, the nob on the front can increase/decrease ROF.... Its pretty cool, but its bound too break unless you bypass it(things needed to bypass it are included). When bypassed the ROF is about 11BB's per second(guessing here).

-New box mag design, which is really easy and has a large door that opens within the soft case(nylon/cotton green holder). The box mag also runs off of the main gun battery, so grab a large batt.

-Metal isn't great, at all. But it is metal and it should hold up.

-Front sling mount is pretty weak, reinforce it somehow or find some other way too attach a sling.

-Gun isn't too heavy, compared too a CA M249(heaviest M249 on the market), but it will definitely leave you tired after a day of running around.

-The guys chrono'ed it that day and they said it was shooting in the 370's, which for a stock support weapon with 11BPS is pretty good.

-Uses what looks like an elongated SAW mechbox. Which has the easy spring swap feature.

For a SAW that runs in the $350 range I am pretty impressed, my one grip was the metal. Thats the obvious corner that A&K cut, but the gun looks and performs pretty well over all. I may pick up the Nam' version for my upcoming Nam' SEAL kit.

PM me, sticks. i have some great info for you.

the new M60 are a lot better quality than there m249's. it is actually not that bad of a gun and is made out of a more durable material. so if you can't afford the very expensive VFC version this one would be just fine. i think that A&K are improving and getting more into the game.

and one og A&K's guns has trades from Saco defence! their Hq is about an hor from me! same with Bushmaster.
