Most things are possible with the right tools to do the job :)

The one thing that jumps to mind with trying to convert a 60 to a 42 is that the receiver of the 42 is more shallow than that of 60. You might be better off using a V3 box from an AK, and building the rest up around it.

its been said that the M60 is the B8stard child of the MG42 and the FJ38(?) the paras LMG/assault rifle, so why not? Could be interesting!

Aye, a lot of the design features of the 42 found their way onto the 60. Sadly, however, the technology transfer didnt include the reliability of the original 42!
