A very poor adaptation of the MG42. It gives up both reliability and rate of fire in exchange for...um...domestic production?

No, not really. The operating principals are completely different. The M60 is a modern gas operated weapon, whereas the MG42 was recoil operated (the whole barrel shifts backwards).
