That was the nice thing about the M-85 version of the .50 cal on the old M-60A2, it had a set head space and timing, no need for a guage or the M2 adjustments.

The switchable slow-rate/high rate flip lever on the back of the receiver was a nice touch too, supposedly for antiaircraft fire. On the tanks we used it like a long-range 1000-meter shotgun in five-second, 100-round bursts, then changed barrel and belt.
