For what it's worth I own a TOP M60 DX. I bought it secondhand for about 1k, have used it moderately, no WestCan gun abuse stories from me.
It stripped a piston not too long after I started using it. Working just fine for me at the moment.
I briefly had a sort of RPK. It too stripped a piston the first game I used it in, but it had my rental mechbox in it so it might have already had quite a bit of wear and tear before being used hard as a support weapon.
Without the proper RPK stocks it just looks a little wrong. I figure if you are going to make a support weapon out of an AEG you should at least try to get the details better than just throwing on a cmag with a longer barrel.
The M249 Para seems like a pretty good option now that I think about it. Built as a SAW for sustained firing, plus a big electric fed box mag, short barrel and collapsible stock.
But some of us also like to carry an M60 and use it on the field!
