Was digging through my stuff looking for some 308's the other day and ran across something I didn't realize I even had. It's a 100 round, Lake City M-60 belt, cardboard, and bandoleer pouch dated August 1961.

I know it ain't worth a million bucks, but I also don't want to just strip it out and plink the ammo away if some collector might want it. It ain't really worth much more than 100 rounds of Lake City to me.

Not worth but what the price of 7.62 ammo is.

Yeh, didn't figure it was worth much. I wouldn't look to get anything out of it other than the 75 ball and 25 tracers.

Just wondered if someone might have an interest....like an M60 collector.

Not like they're making LC61 anymore, don't wanna trash it if I could find it a better home.

You might get a bit more for it on gunbroker. $75-$120 would be my guess for the 100rd belt.

Of course its non-corrosive. I don't know of any US 06 that was. You could likely get a $1 a round for it. AP ammo goes for good money.

a lot was corrosive, in fact for TW August 53 was the which over to Non-Cor, and mine is 54.

I learned a lot when the CMP had Cheap 30-06 AP

I have seen the pulled bullets sell faster then the whole round at the same $1 each price.

I was just hoping being
