Picture cutesy of Team2Sexy’s Capt.Manwaring, subject is Guvnor the original owner.

I have read a few reviews on the big 60's and hope to cover any holes in the info they have.

I've been through more than my fair share of Airsoft weaponry over the past, going through the Marui range.  Well, I finally decided to live out my Rambo dreams and get myself a nice big M60 DX.  I picked the DX over the other for a few reason, firstly I wasn't too keen on the look of the E3's, secondly the shorty was too small to be a REAL big gun, thirdly the STD had a little too much plastic and finally, what would RAMBO get?

I had spent a while searching for a second hand one with no success, then a shorty came up.   I threw caution to the wind and started bidding, it wasn’t a DX, but it was an M60 and after half a year of waiting that was enough.  I was eventually out bid on a shorty, as I could not justify the price it reached, it had come up on forums.ukairsoft.net.  Finally resorted to putting a “Wanted” notice in the forums.  I was stunned when the very next day Wardie (very nice Airsofter and owner of a very nice M249) Pm'ed me with details of a brand new DX he was going to sell.  So after a bit of haggling we agreed on a price, that week I went to pick it up.  The deal went very smoothly (cheers Wardie :) ) and I took my new M60 home, on the train, got a few strange looks as people read the box, but what do you expect (at least it was in a box!).  The history of this M60 is that it was bought by Team 2 Sexy’s Guvnor then soled to Wardie after about 4 weeks, Wardie sold it to me after 2 days, so it is in mint condition.

On opening the box I had mixed feelings.  The first thing I saw was the VERY plastic looking fore grip which was disappointing, then I took in the scale of the thing and how the rest of the M60 look.   I found a smile creep across my face, this soon turned to a maniacal grin, I couldn't believe how good the rest of the DX looked!  So I whipped it out of the box, screwed the flash hider on (this has to be removed to fit the M60 in the original box) and took a look at the beast.  And what a beast it is!  The DX is everything I thought it was, BIG, MEAN and HEAVY.  Cue maniacal laughter! Mahhhahhhahahahhhhhhhhhh!

It took a few days to calm down and think objectively about a review, so pick the links to the objective bits.
