prebans,

 

I guess my favorite utilitarian M60 accessory is an item we used to find laying around a couple of military bases in Hawaii. Here's an M60 bandoleer, which was made to hold a cardboard container with 100 rounds of ammo in it. Apparently, these originally came with a black anodized safety pin, to adjust the length of the carrying loop. Most do not have the safety pins today, since they were quite useful, and the bandoleers were disposable. I used to carry these with miscellaneous items in them on hikes as a Boy Scout, and still have a couple of them that I've held onto.

It says:

 

"7.62MM NATO

LINKED

1 TRACER M6

4 BALL M80

100 RDS

(Lot No.)"

 

This one was made by a West Virginia company in August, 1966.
