Have to love old Marlin 22lr rifles.

[easy]

Most Marlin 60 series rifles are easy fixes. Might be able to diagnose faults just by posting some pics.

I've had a Marlin 60 for many years and it just keeps on going and going like the little Energizer Bunny...not sure how many 1000's of rounds I've fired from it but its alot.

I have my grandpa's Glenfield model 60. It still has the cartridges he loaded in the magazine. It was his pest gun. Anything that was a pest he shot with it.

Love my Model 60. First gun my dad gave to me, one of the boy scout ones.

I've still got a NOS (mid 70's) Model 60 that's never been shot --- still has all the tags and stickers attached!

Looks nice. But to shiny for my taste.
I like a working finish. Something that looks good and protects the wood but not something that you have to worry about getting the tiniest scratch.

As long as you like it that's what matters. That's the best part about bringing an old beater back to life. You get to make it the way you want it.
