cutesy of Team2Sexys 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 wasnt 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 Sexys 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. |
