DISCLAIMER: I had this weapon listed in June for a higher price and it sold but the purchaser declined after providing pictures for his review. This gun was sold to me in 2004 by a good friend. He truly believed it to be a factory Maremont gun. It is not. It is a Maremont, but the rails were apparently rewelded(i can't tell).
I have since done a great deal of research on it. Here is the story as I have been able to figure: An owner of an Army/Navy store close to where I resided, bought cut M60's way back in the 1980's. If they were cut in easy to repair areas he had them welded and then registered them legally. This gun was transferred to John Stemple as a Maremont M60(I have a picture or the form and it states the gun is a complete weapon; SN, barrel length, etc.). I do not know what Mr. Stemple did with the gun, and his name is not stenciled or engraved into the weapon. The gun was then sold to a gentleman in the town where I lived and to another, and another, and another. All within 25 miles of each other. Then, I purchased the gun from my friend.
