In 1966, the M59 was modified to fire 22mm rifle grenades via the addition of an integrated grenade launcher spigot.

[2] This variant received the designation M59/66. [7]
The remaining guns were passed on to State Guards and civilian law enforcement agencies. The M65 was developed as a sub-caliber training rifle version of the M60, produced only from 1944 to 1946. H&R later made updates to the M65 and sold them on the civilian market (and to the Marines in small numbers) as the MC-58 and M150/151/165 Leatherneck.
