U.S. Ordnance is a Nevada-based small-arms manufacturer that produces and supports military machine guns, replacement parts, conversion kits, and crew-served weapon systems, with the M60 family and Mk 19 among its clearest public product lines.
2 weaponsU.S. Ordnance is a Nevada-based small-arms manufacturer founded in 1997. Official company materials place the business in McCarran, outside Reno, and describe a production base focused on military small arms, machine guns, replacement parts, and support work for government-approved military, law-enforcement, and security customers.
Its public product line is centered on crew-served weapons rather than consumer firearms. U.S. Ordnance materials highlight the M60E6, Mk43/M60E4 conversion kit, M60D Enhanced, M240/GPMG line, M2HB, and MK19 MOD 3, along with in-house production capability and government-witnessed inspection and testing steps for military orders.
U.S. Ordnance is especially important as the current source for modern M60-family production and conversion support, and as a listed producer of the MK19 MOD 3 grenade machine gun. A 2024 U.S. Army contract announcement for M60E4 and M60E6 guns, parts, accessories, conversion kits, and training shows that the company remains tied to active government procurement rather than only legacy support.
U.S. Ordnance describes the M60E6 as the latest improvement to the M60 series and publishes technical specifications for the 7.62x51 mm NATO belt-fed weapon. A 2024 U.S. Army contract announcement covered M60E4 and M60E6 guns, parts, accessories, conversion kits, and training.
