I like the twin 60 mount. Do they have twin mounts for M240's and SAW's? I never see pics of any.

I like the twin 60 mount. Do they have twin mounts for M240's and SAW's? I never see pics of any. The problem is that there aren't yet right-side feed mechanisms [top covers] for the M240G and M249 SAW. The M60 was adaptable to such twin-gun configurations based on the work that had been done for use as the M60D helicopter armament applications, though I don't know if any actually fed from the right side or not. But the M73/M219 7.62 coax machineguns used in our tanks could, though they were no more reliable feeding from the right side than from the left.

I like the twin 60 mount. So did the Air Force base security teams using the XM706E2 Cadillac Gage V-100 that had a pair of M60s mounted. There were also turret versions with twin Browning .30 or 7.62mm MGs.
