I need to forget where my Amex is as I saw this over at Apex:
Yup, 7.62 NATO M60D parts kits complete with spade grips for helicopter/pintel use. Of course, they are pushing $5K, but still, this would be an epic project build.
Keep in mind the 1st AB alone had upwards of some 25,000 guys– average age 20– in Vietnam to run its 4,000 birds. That’s a hell of a brigade!
They saw use with the Marines and Navy as well
Plus, keep in mind that the Sixty Delta remained in use with Army Aviation all through the Cold War and well into the Sandbox, despite the rest of the Army moving to M240 models.
Plus, I already have the C-rat cans.

And since you came this far…
