Here is a photo of subject bracket. They could be found hiding on many vehicles.....in this case the troop seats of a M577 (M113 command post). I'll keep an eye at my favorite scrapyard for some of those seats. Seems like they were regularly thrown out.

NSN for the old bracket is 2540-21-116-6305 and dates back to 1968. It is still used on many vehicles in service, although there is a newer NSN from the early 2000s for a new one.

A few years ago, there was a big hubbub over someone finding am M72 in the ditch beside the only highway north from Victoria. The speculation was it was to be used in a gang related extermination but either was a dud or they chickened out and left it by the side of the road. A few unofficial reports circulated about having it waved about and shouldered until someone that was familiar with the weapon suggested that it still had the round in the tube. That ended the playing around. I don't recall all the rest of it but it apparently went 'missing' years before and remained unaccounted for until this incident.
