You really don't need to tell people to go someplace else for help. I don't recall ANYONE asking for a DOB on here and not getting a quick, respectful, answer.

Thanks

Thank you VRichard for an extremely prompt reply.

M60

This is my M60 I bought new in 1972 SN R67XXX. It was my BUG until 1975 when I bought my M38 Bodyguard.

Welcome to the Forum,
The issue with tagging onto someone else's thread is that your inquiry sometimes gets missed. Next time you have a question, start a new thread so it doesn't end up like this one. Your Model 60 dates to about 1982.
