USMC M416 differences?

[Horst]

My M416 is starting to rot and I think I need to restore it sometime soon. As my 151 is USMC, I am thinking of converting the trailer to a Marines configuration. Anybody has some good data what the differences are?

Horst, this fellow Brian Platzer aka Blackdog did a bunch of Marine things. He might be the one to talk too. I'm not sure if he's a member of this site.

The USMC M416 had the added lifting handles welded under the frame and the plate for responsible agency
changed to either Marine Corps or USMC. These are pics of Chuck Natnz's trailer.

Thanks guys. If the tiedowns are the only difference to fabricate, then getting the right data plates might be the biggest challenge. Anybody has good idea where to get them?

Can't help you with the data plate Horst but I know a US supplier who might be able to
sell you NOS lifting handles. PM me if you are interested.

Horst: Not the exact plate but very close.

If you do a restore be sure to remove teh tub. I have done two, the first one I did not the second the USMC version I did.
EDIT: I meant to include that mine did not have a datapalte on it so I am not sure but I think that the main one is no different from the Army plate. Procurement one is.
