Manufactured using a combination of military surplus and new-made commercial components, this is a fully function all commercial version of the U.S. Army M60E4 general purpose machine gun.

Blade front and folding ladder peep sights, a slotted flash hider and a swiveling handle on the quick-detach barrel, and a solid plastic handguard with integral front pistol grip. The Catco markings and address are present on both the barrel trunnion and the underside of the bottom channel. With a receiver mounted box hanger, "SD" marked pistol grip, and an aluminum top cover. Fitted with a plastic and aluminum buttplate with a flip-up shoulder rest.
