Taylor would select ones that were in spec and rebuild them. Guys would cut in front of and behind the trunnion and pocket the part as it was small enough to smuggle out in lunchboxes. They were getting their hands on trunnions from poorly demilled guns. thanks for any help.īack Story on Taylor MFG. Any ideas on what we are looking at? Am I missing the correct place to look for makers mark? we looked under trigger pack, under the rear butt piece, on the top, bottom and the sides of the receiver. we could not find any weld marks on the trunion. still has cosmoline inside the receiver and the top cover. the serial number is on the site base (left hand side) on top of the trunion, (number 8xxx)-not on the receiver. but there is nothing marked on the receiver, no name, no location and no serial number. to me this means this is not a factory gun, but is a registered receiver and the maker should have its mark somewhere on the receiver and the serial number should be on the receiver. In the Model box on the paperwork, the gun is listed as M60 Receiver, with a barrel length of N/A and an overall length of 18.25". The paperwork shows the manufacturer to be Taylor Mfg, Decatur Georgia. it is marked Machine Gun, 7.62mm m60, Saco Lowell Div N.E., Maremont Corp., US. the only markings on the gun are on the top of the trunion. among other guns, there is an M60 in original E-1 configuration.
