Hi guys,

I have a question that I want to know the company of MTVR gun truck。

I searched in google but only find one picture。Anyone has other picture of MTVR gun truck？

Thanks,

I didnt think the MTVRs were in service at the same time that M-60s were.... Looking at that truck, there is two 50 cal, two MK-19, and two M-60 machine guns.....


EDIT.... looks like wiki is my friend... they say they are still in service with some navy and reserve units... so thisis assumedly a USMC Reserve MTVR

Osh Kosh maintains a large repair facility here in town. I have seen a 7 ton out there with the crows nest style .50 cal mount on the roof. Intrigued me as I have a 7 ton kit in the stash.

I was in Iraq in 2003 and 2004 and the Man was still in use by Active Duty units as well as a result of M548 fielding having not been completed yet.
