It needs to be remembered that in T2K the Reaganesque defense budgets kept going because the alternate history mandates that the Soviet economy was doing at least as well as the Soviets SAID it was doing...
In the real world they were lying and it all fell apart right after the Berlin Wall came down.
In T2K they get into a war with China and the Germanies decide to reunite, triggering a second front between NATO and The Warsaw Pact.
But the budgets and arms race kept going until 1997...
Since the military stays big, that means that new stuff is added and old stuff gets moved to lower readiness formations.
That means things like the M1911A1 are still issued. Some units still have M16A1's.
The M60 machine gun is still in ample supply and is still in production. The M60, M60C (aircraft mount) and M60D (door gun with spade grips) are still in service with the National Guard and Reserves.
The M60A3 is in limited service here and there.
