M60 MACHINE GUN MANUFACTURED BY MAREMONT CORP. WITH MATCHING ORIGINAL BOX. Cal. 7.62 Nato. S# 7710115. Bbl. 22" (IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a consecutive numbered gun to this, also in this sale). When someone thinks about the firearms of the Vietnam War era there are usually a few images that come to mind. When you combine those with 1980's Hollywood movie guns it's clear that one of them will be an M60 General Purpose Machine Gun. For those who collect such memorabilia there is a name that rises to the top and that is Maremont Corporation. Once located in Saco Maine, and eventually transitioning to Saco Defense, before being purchased by General Dynamics, Maremont Corporation was the primary manufacturer of the M60, lovingly referred to as "The Pig" and they remain highly regarded today. This example is a very rare find in that it still remains as new in its original box, and it is the first of an actual consecutive pair of M60s being offered. This gun is as pristine as it is rare & desirable. The 22" threaded barrel is properly terminated with the iconic 3.25" 5-slot flash hider, just forward of the folding bipod & front sight. Black front handguard w/ serrated steel top. Top mounted, side folding carry handle on the front trunnion, just forward of the tall, windage & elevation adjustable, folding rear sight. The Trunnion is marked: "MACHINE GUN / 7.62MM M60 / NEW ENGLAND GROUP / MAREMONT CORP. / U.S." On the left side is the serial number: "7710115". The top cover has a small number written on top in what appears to be pencil or grease paint "115", correlating w/ the last 3 digits of the serial number. Left side feed mechanism above the pistol grip & fire control group Removable shoulder stock w/ shoulder rest. The bolt carrier has a green wax marking dot, which signifies that this gun has not been fired, beyond test firing. The colored wax wears off immediately upon use. All new Maremont M60s possess either a green or white wax dot following manufacture. Everything about this gun points to being like new, without even gentle sign of use beyond test firing. It is accompanied by the original shipping box, numbered to the gun.
