US Army Orders Retired M60 Machine Guns Mystery Surrounds Recipient
This week, the U.S. Army Contracting Command in Newark, New Jersey, awarded a $14.96 million contract to U.S. Ordnance, based in Sparks, Nevada, for the supply of an unspecified number of M60E4 and M60E6 machine guns. Along with the firearms, the contract includes spare parts, accessories, conversion kits, and training services. The award has sparked intrigue within the defense community, particularly since the U.S. Army phased out the M60 machine gun decades ago, leading to speculation about the intended recipient and the operational purpose of these weapons.
