I snapped a picture down the muzzle and was suprised to see it was smooth bore. The other M60 I took pics of had a rifled barrel. Is this another clue to it being a "Slick 60"?

SMOOTH BORE 105mm gun tube!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Am I the only one who noticed this?
The profile of that tube makes me think it is a normal rifled barrel and not a mock up.
Why would a M60A0 or any other M60 type have a SMOOTH BORE?
Very confuzed!
Sgt, Scouts Out!
- SFC_Jeff_ButtonThis M60A3 was one of the first I saw while driving around Ft Hood that wasn't in a museum. This one sits in the 4th ID area, at a three street, pie-wedge intersection of Battalion Ave and 19th and 20th Streets. Serial number is 3293A, ("A" in believed to stand for Anniston rebuild).
The breech area said; "TUBE No 11041, CANNON 105mm, Gun M68, MFR. 9208, 1971, 1660LBS, INS",
- Joe_DThis tank is a real brain teaser, the more Jeff posts on it, the more questions I have. Maybe we need an AFV "CSI" team to fly down and investigate it . Who knows, could be a new TV show on the History Channel.
Stumped and Frustrated because I ain't there,
