I got this Marlin model 60 probably 25 years ago from my former Boss. I remember he was going to throw it out if I didn’t want it. At the time, it hardly cycled and I never shot it. It stayed with me this whole time and came close to being chit canned a few times by me during its life. Finally I decided I would try to restore it since it didn’t cost anything and why not? If it turned out good, I might try other rifles. If it was bad, I know not do do that ever again. I got all the DIY stuff and went at it. I learned a few things and can improve on the next one, but not there yet. I might try another cheap, throw away before I try anything important. You can see how filthy and beat up it was and I’m sure it couldn’t cycle because of all the crap in the action.
I had to make a recoil rod guide because the other went flying and couldn’t be found. No place online has a replacement either.
Let me know your thoughts where I could do better.
