That’s plenty big enough to suit most people’s needs; more than ample to keep the traditional magazine style kicking when removable box magazines were becoming more common. The Spee-D-Loader has 8 chambers that will fill your Marlin 60 in a matter of seconds. Another one of those squidgy marketing terms. Thanks in part to its relatively thick barrel, the Model 60 is just a tad heavier than some rifles in its price range, but that’s not a bad thing; it’s like having a bull barrel with a little less bull.

This thing has been shot at least 3000 times, I lost track of how many times it was dropped (once off a 10 foot ledge), its been used to move rocks, as a hammer, a walking stick, and a tent pole. It was made to resemble a M-1 carbine. Further on, its Spartan design also makes it a snap to disassemble and maintain. Another ridiculously accurate rifle that has NEVER been thoroughly cleaned. Yeah I have 7 or 8 box mags for my 795 and 3 or 4 for my CZ and I always carry several mags for my CCW piece but I don’t really “need” to shoot more than 15 times real fast with a .22 very often. This one is pre-1985 so no hold open and a full 18 rds. Where the modern approach to gun fasteners (e-clips and roll pins) falls down, however, is ease of disassembly (and re-assembly) and repeated disassembly and re-assembly. Chuck Hawks says it has “streamlined, timeless styling,” and I’m inclined to agree. I know you can solve the trigger issue. It’s reliable and accurate. The muzzle, sights, and part of the barrel have no bluing.The receiver is pretty much bare metal. (What with .22 still being scarce in my neck of the woods and my usual range closed for fire danger, I haven’t been out much lately.). The magazine issue is solved by the Marlin 795 (same rifle but uses box mags instead of a tube mag). The tube magazine is easier to load than the rotary clip, for me, and 15 seems to be plenty. 30 seconds to reload and you get 15 rounds in the tube (or more on certain older 60’s) and you’re ready to go.

It’s a tack driver, particularly early iterations. The Model 60 is a reliable little beast. The e-clips tend to fly off into the wild blue yonder on even the more experienced among us, and roll pins need to be replaced every two or three disassemblies of a Beretta 9x pistol. Jams. I lost count of rounds through it years ago at around 10,000+ rounds. In the late 1980s, to comply with New Jersey’s newly minted restrictions on semiautomatic assault weapons guns that scared its legislators, Marlin chopped the magazine tube down to hold 14 rounds. However, reloading the tubular magazine is an awkward process and the trigger is pretty rough. As such, I keep an extra one in my range bag.

The old 60 will shoot rings around a 10-22 all day long. Why is that ole 22 from my family’s property at my mom’s? That said, I’m not blind to its faults. Running beneath the 22-inch barrel was an equally long 18-round tubular magazine. The Marlin will do less than 1/2″ at 50 yards, if I can hold it steady. I just wasn’t a fan of the tubular magazine. No bones about it, there’s plenty to like, even revere, in the old-timey base 22-inch barrel Marlin Model 60. Not those new Remington models… The birch stocks look good, but I consider the laminated stocks an improvement. No matter who was shooting it, the 190 was far more accurate than any of the 10-22’s. It’s FAR easier than loading a box mag. Overall: * * * * ArrowDodger will fix it. It’s probably one of the earliest models, I’m sure. She’s a keeper. Best I could do was about 1-1/2″ at 50 yards. A two stage target trigger ! The riffle will eat just about any brand bullets and spits them out just as long as you keep it clean and lightly oiled.

Again I have one and I recommend try it you will like it! Google “KAT TRIGGERS” Once you identify its preferred ammo, just keep feeding it what it wants, and it’ll go bang whenever you want it to.

My Model 60s are all Glenfields, made before 1980.

He is a gun owner and avid reloader from Colorado. Reliability generally walks hand in hand with simplicity, which is the case with the Marlin Model 60. Remember this is loading 14 rounds (although it’s possible to load 15) and it takes less than 30 seconds. I dunno about all that, but I do know that my rifle is more accurate than I am. Ruger takes a different approach to getting the COGS down – they have a huge investment casting business (Pine Tree Castings) and they’ve perfected how to cast lots of parts for guns to keep the COGS down. I must have gotten lucky as they eat whatever I feed them… but Winchester Wildcat were their staple diet when they were available. I’m sorry to say the new Remingtons are junk! Worth keeping in mind that the 10/22 is about 100 bucks more to get something similar, more if you start wanting options.

I love my 60s except all but one had the stock break at the back of the action. Please try again. The action IS funky looking with all the springs and circlips, not what I expected, but it’s a low-priced gun and works very well. Fun little gun.

A few years ago I took it to Appleseed and qualified rifleman between a bunch of Sigs and Rugers. And unless you have a solvent bath to soak the action in, you’re never going to get those fiddly bits fully clean. Purchased it from a local gun auction, along with a very pretty SS Ruger 10/22 with the Mannlicher stock. whydid you have to give away the ending? I picked up a used 1985-vintage Marlin 60 at a full-price gun store in virtually perfect condition for around $120 and could not be happier with it. Safety glasses, people. Not that it’s perfect, though some might take that stance. Alot of people hate the cross bolt safety in them too. With a little fine tuning at 50yards I could place all 18 shots through the drinking hole of a sofa can. Holding the gun just feels natural. It’s a pre-83 with a NJ mocking 18rd magazine tube that I plan to pass to my kid AFTER I leave this mortal coil. There’s nothing like tasting success early in the process, and shooting is a game of accuracy. The majority of those, I attribute to a criminally dirty gun. The Model 60 was made much more economically, primarily in its stock and magazine inner tube. It was the first gun I ever bought when I turned 18 back in 1984 ($69.95 at Kmart). Detach the bolt handle to extract the bolt. There is one caveat, a foible endemic to semiautomatic .22 rifles: they’re finicky about ammo. Looks like they’re simple to install and they remove the creep and overtravel, which are bigger problems than the pull weight (imho). Then, also wanting a .22 mag rifle, I went out and bought a Ruger 96/22 mag. If you want to be that way. If someone were to give me one that worked I wouldn’t turn my nose up at it. Eats whatever I feed it. As such, they cost about $90 new when that was more than half a week of minimum wage. I have one brick of them left, with the $8 pricetag affixed last I looked. as said before feed it hi-speed ammo, clean it every brick with brake cleaner. Back in the faraway days of four years ago, I didn’t know guns needed cleaning — the guns in my life had all been rural closet-dwellers, fired once or twice a year to dispatch a pest or farm animal, and of course never cleaned. Lots of roll pins are used there instead of gun-style pins. Early models were stamped “Marlin Model 60G” (“G” for Glenfield), which was replaced in the late 1960s with “Marlin Glenfield Model 60”, on the barrel. One thing about my rifle which as built in 1990 — I found it extremely easy to bend the recoil spring upon reassembly. Trust me. It’s better than I am. Pull one pin to remove the trigger group. Any feeding or ejecting issues you might have. The one disadvantage a tubular magazine will always have vs. detachable magazines is that you can’t just fill a dozen spares and have them waiting. Just in case. Of all the production updates and changes, I discovered after the fact that I got the short-production holy grail… full 18 round tube magazine and bolt-open on last round. In this case my groups opened up as the daylight faded and I got impatient. What a jerk! A classically designed gun (eg, a 1911) might need no external tooling to do a detailed strip (unless your 1911 uses hex-head grip screws), but the guns designed for low-cost manufacturing often need very specific tools to do the job right. In several thousand rounds I’ve only experienced a handful of malfunctions, and a very dirty gun contributed to most of them. Among Model 60 collectors and enthusiasts — yes, they do exist — the pre-1980s versions with the longer barrel and magazine are the most sought after. The Marlins do seem to be more inherently accurate than the Rugers as well. Still, they are all fun to shoot. A few weeks later, when I bought my Marlin 336 — which does have a half-decent trigger — I was so excited to put lead downrange that I didn’t bother with dry-firing it or any kind of practice (yeah, I know…now). Not a target rifle. I literally have a seperate collection of firearms I got from either labor or for electronics.
