conversion kit
The U.S. Ordnance M60E6/E4 Conversion Kit upgrades any serviceable M60 receiver to the M60E6/E4 configuration. Upgrades can be performed at U.S. Ordnance or the customer facility after training by U.S. Ordnance staff. When the conversion kit is installed on a serviceable M60, U.S. Ordnance issues a new gun warranty. Using only the kit, an armorer at the customer location can convert and upgrade a serviceable M60 machine gun in fewer than 30 minutes, without complex tools and machines.
