Authentic U.S. Military Surplus | Aerial Remote-Fire Weapon System Component
This is an original Firing Solenoid and Cable Assembly for the 7.62mm M60C machine gun, part number 7791685, listed under NSN 1005-00-072-5184. This complete assembly was designed specifically for use in aircraft-mounted configurations of the M60C, where remote or solenoid-fired operation was required in lieu of traditional manual firing controls.
This item is new old stock and was originally manufactured to U.S. military specifications for integration into armament subsystems found aboard aircraft such as the UH-1 Iroquois (Huey) and AH-1 Cobra.
Historical Significance – M60C Solenoid-Fired Variant
The M60C was a variant of the standard M60 general-purpose machine gun adapted for flexible or fixed aircraft mounting. Unlike the standard M60, the M60C featured no stock or trigger group, instead relying on remote electronic firing through a solenoid and cable assembly. This modification made the M60C an essential weapon in U.S. helicopter gunship configurations during the Vietnam War, where it was often paired with the M2, M6, M21, or TK-1 armament subsystems and many others.
These firing assemblies enabled gunners or pilots to fire the weapon from control systems in the cockpit or cabin, improving safety, ergonomics, and efficiency during aerial combat operations.
