Outstanding, as new in box specimen of the Maremont M60 machine gun in classic military configuration. Top of receiver is marked “MACHINE GUN / 7.62 MM M60 / NEW ENGLAND GROUP / MAREMONT CORP. / U.S.” For the would-be purchaser of this model, it needs no introduction. The Maremont M-60 has a reputation as a consistently high-quality built machine gun. It is a must-have for the late 20th century U.S. machine gun collector/enthusiast, particularly one who wants a weapon from the Vietnam era of the U.S. military. Electronic registry indicates simply “US” as the manufacturer. Original factory shipping box includes original packing materials as addressed from RECON ORDNANCE. As mint accessories include a spare barrel in original U.S.G.I canvas barrel carrier, a new in wrapper AMC manufactured tripod with Traverse and Elevation mechanism and pintle mount as well as a sealed bag of M-60 metal links. Just the way it came to the previous owner many years ago. PROVENANCE: From the estate of a very discerning and advanced collector. CONDITION: As new in original cardboard shipping box with preservative oil still in evidence on it. Overall appearance and finish is simply outstanding. Accessories are in like condition. Morphy's states that there may be a couple light handling marks, and potential buyers are encouraged to examine the photographs closely. Bores of both barrels have preservative grease in them. Bolt face is near excellent. Mechanics are crisp. This is a full-auto-only machine gun. A fabulous firearm for the modern U.S. Military collector/enthusiast in pretty much impossible condition to upgrade. What an auction opportunity for the advanced collector who desires an M-60 machine gun! THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THIS ITEM IS FULLY TRANSFERABLE ON AN ATF FORM 3 OR 4. JWK 2023-12-80
