Repairing and upgrading Airsoft A&K M60 support gun

[@bb-ballistics1706]

They have updated the hop unit, mosfet and piston, tappet plate and im not sure what else?

[@GeneralHawk505]

Also you forgot to mention about the Bullgear Mag inserts which are great upgrades for shitty A and K feeding issues from their cheap chinesium box's.

@@GeneralHawk505 I have not had the opportunity to use the bullgear mag inserts in person. Fortunately with the amendments to the fitting of the standard box mag it feeds really well. 😎

Nice M60, can you send link to that hop up chamber?

[@adzzzysarmoury]

@@kacajPL Google Bullgear M60 hop chamber. They can be a trouble to find some times as stock is quite often limited. 😎

[@kacajPL]

@@adzzzysarmoury thanks, is that one for LCT M60 / A&K PKM Bullgear (2022 version)?

[@adzzzysarmoury]

@@kacajPL yes that is the one I used. 😎

Is the A&K version a top dead centre hop unit adjustable with an allen grub screw? Have an ARES model and wondering if the aftermarket hop units are compatible the same beetween the A&K, ARES and m249 bullgear hop units

[@adzzzysarmoury]

@@mattgent9787 the A&K hop in the M60 is a rotary adjustment. So it sounds like it is different to the Ares version that you are adjusting with Allen grub screw. I have no direct experience the Ares version so can't comment on it's compatibility. I can confirm the A&K M60 is a different bullgear hop chamber to the A&K M249.

I’ve been looking at buying this A&K M60. Has it been reliable for you? I ask because I have heard very mixed reviews.

[@adzzzysarmoury]

It certainly needed some attention from out of the box. The box mag didn't line up properly but with some modification now fits fine. Also the gearbox failed at one point. I must admit I haven't given it heavy use since sorting it all out as it is so heavy to play with. But since tweaking it and setting up the gearbox correctly it has been perfect. 😎

Nice

Have you tried Daytona gun kit?

Greetings from the US! New subscriber, but this is my second A&K M60...and mate, you are about to HATE me😅😅 You're mounting the box wrong, its the top loop of the mag pouch over the top of the mag plate. You have to hold the hose out of the way as you slide it on, but once mounted thusly the hose will align perfectly with the cut out on the plate. I'm so sorry to bear you this bad news, brother!😥 Also, I went through several after market hop up chambers before I discovered the best solution is to leave in the original but not use it, and get a Magic Box Miracle Barrel inner barrel instead. Makes it a laser beam! The trouble I had then, was that the barrel release nut switched and the outer barrel pressed against the inner and bent it. That piece looks a lot sturdier on this new model though, so we'll see if it burns me on another $80 barrel... Anyways hoped this helps, cheers✌

Did you have the new generation with the latest hop unit? Apparently the newer hop unit is pretty decent because the nub actually sits the right way up

[@CrazyLikeATiger]

@@bb-ballistics1706 I have one of each! The new series hop up ROCKS: I changed the bucking but nothing else in the hop chamber and put a Miracle Barrel in and the gun was lifting .32's nearly the entire length of my 1 acre yard. And then I broke the magazine at the start of the first game I took it to lol

[@bb-ballistics1706]

@@CrazyLikeATiger how did you break the mag? Bullgear mag a good insert for them I believe

[@CrazyLikeATiger]

@@bb-ballistics1706 I had the mag filled and attached and then slung the gun over my shoulder while walking nearly a mile to the game starting point. That managed to detach the spring-bb tube from its housing inside the mag. All the Bullgears were sold out when I was looking, but I found two original replacements on eBay. Also I'm designing a "Hi-cap" mag that runs like a normal hi-cap (so no electric parts to break or leach from the battery) and has a slimmer profile...

What Battery are using?
