prebans Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 (edited) The biggest issue surrounding any firearm is information- or lack of information. In that vein, let's set a goal of listing every M60 manual. Hopefully we can eventually make quality scans of each manual available for download as well.

prebans Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Always start with the low-hanging fruit. Each of these manuals is already available from Biggerhammer.Net's downloadable manuals section at http://www.biggerhammer.net/manuals/. If you find these manuals helpful, please remember to follow the instructions to donate to Biggerhammer.Net.

prebans Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 (edited) FM3-22.68 "Crew Served Machineguns, 5.56-mm and 7.62-mm," covers the M60 as well as the M249 and the M240-B. The M60 is covered in Chapter 2. You can skip right to it at http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/lib...3-22-68/c02.htm. Or, you can review the entire manual by going to http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/lib...rmy/fm/3-22-68/ Edited November 23, 2010 by prebans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalbert Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 prebans, Here is a picture of the M60 manuals I have in stock at the moment. I have had others in the past, and saved pictures of them that I can post. I also have individual scans of each manual that can be used in a pinned post, when I get the chance to start it. http://www.sturmgewehr.com/dalbert/MGBoards/Manuals/M60_Manuals_Web.JPG David Albert dalbert@sturmgewehr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalbert Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 All, I pulled archived images of each different M60 manual I've had in stock over the years, and came up with 22 different manuals. I know I've had a few others for which I can't find images, and I've seen several other examples of M60 manuals that I've not owned, but this is a good start. They range in date from 1959 to 1984. In my opinion, this Marine M60 manual is the best of them all: Australian M60 Manual, 1980: David Albertdalbert@sturmgewehr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
