It is much more accurate and reliable than the pig. It is just as easy to disassemble and maintain if not easier and, it will continue to fire reliably if it gets dirty/no time to change the barrel, etc.<br /><br />I was brought up on the M60 as well but, they did it right when they built the 240.Response by CSM Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 20 at 2015 12:47 AM2015-08-20T00:47:18-04:002015-08-20T00:47:18-04:00SGT Lou Meza904037<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I'll stick with what I know !

The things I "didn't like" about either weapon were pretty much the same (weight). However, I have to admit that I liked the 249 better...lighter, easier to track with, etc.<br /><br />Funny story; had a Soldier offer me a good-natured "challenge" on the range one time while training our ANA. We used the 240, and the goal was to see who could not only hit, but move a stone in a direction chosen by the other...I can't be certain of range this many years later. I ended up "winning" because after we both moved our respective stones, more of mine's "mass" remained intact-LOLResponse by LCDR Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 21 at 2015 7:52 AM2015-08-21T07:52:38-04:002015-08-21T07:52:38-04:00MAJ John Adams956256<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I guess I'm too old of a salt, since I've never handled the 240-B, just the M-60.Response by MAJ John Adams made Sep 10 at 2015 2:45 PM2015-09-10T14:45:25-04:002015-09-10T14:45:25-04:00Sgt Randy Linder956649<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I don't know about the 240-B, we got the 240-G about 9 months or so before I got out and I loved the hell out of it.Response by Sgt Randy Linder made Sep 10 at 2015 4:09 PM2015-09-10T16:09:25-04:002015-09-10T16:09:25-04:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member1556168<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>M240B all day , everyday .Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made May 24 at 2016 11:37 AM2016-05-24T11:37:14-04:002016-05-24T11:37:14-04:00SMSgt Thor Merich4018127<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I prefer the 240B over the pig.
