M60E4/M43 Mod. O
The M60E4 7.62mm light machine gun represents significant reliability and user-friendly improvements over the M60, M60D, M60E3 machine guns. The series consists of two (2) configurations: LMG (ground), mounted (aircraft and boat).

KEY FEATURES

  • Reliable and user-friendly for dependability and ease of use.
  • Light and compact for maneuverability and transportability.
  • Stellite®-lined, sustained fire barrels (short and long) and assault barrels; for application flexibility and 15.000+ rounds barrel life.
  • Rate of fire at a lethal volume, yet helps to conserve ammunition.
  • Dual safety features for maximum user safety: ambidextrous safety switch, and a weapon loaded, not charged feature.
  • All major components are directly interchangeable with other M60 configurations.
  • Logistically supportable.
  • Easy conversion from earlier M60 configurations to M60E4, at unit level.
  • Employed by U.S. Navy Seals.

MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • 30% improved belt pull, increasing reliability.
  • Thick-walled barrel for sustained firing.
  • Fail-safe reversible piston, positive-lock gas cylinder extension.
  • Barrel changing handle eliminates need for heat mitten.
  • Lightweight, one-handed operated receiver mounted bipod eliminates the weight of a bipod on the spare barrel.
  • Lightweight forearm/pistol grip for improved control and protection during firing.
  • Feed cover eliminates charging jams and improves operator safety.
  • Optional integrated fire control system bracket gives the weapon 24 hour capability (U.S. standard foot or Picatinny rail; Stanag mount).
  • Lightweight trigger assembly with ambidextrous safety switch and winter trigger guard allows gun to be fired with winter mittens.
  • Optional new flat spring on trigger assembly prevents accidental detachment of the assembly.
  • Lightweight buttstock with hinged shoulder rest and improved buffer attachment mechanism provides for fail-safe attachment of the buttstock to the receiver.
  • Forward grip enlarged for improved control, better heat protection.
