My dad did this, took him a month of Sundays to get it back together, this was way before the internet.Great guns. DO NOT take apart the trigger housing assembly. It is like a Chinese puzzle. Of course there is probably a video at YouTube University showing you how to put it back together nowadays.

Love them. Simple, accurate, and fun. Back when I started into shooting used ones could be easily found for around $100 bucks.
...until you need to change the carrier. Then you learn how to field strip it.I don’t advise field stripping the model 60. I learned to hose it down with PB Blaster then blow the innards out with an air hose and it would be back on the firing line.

Marlin (remember them?) used to have a kit you could purchase for $18. It contained a carrier and some other small parts. Some of the carriers could wear out and cause feeding problems. In my case, it was the little Glenfield 75 that I bought for $25 at a pawn shop, later sold to you, and wished I had not (worry not, since replaced). I could not figure it out, called Marlin and they suggested the carrier kit.I never had to change a carrier.
Sadly, I agree. Kinda like a Mosin for $100 is awesome fun…but at $400 it’s an over priced garbage rod."It's certainly a gun." Back when they were like $60-80 at pawn shops everywhere across the country they were a great affordable rifle. If they're still that cheap then they're still a great affordable rifle. But for getting into the $200+ range I'd rather buy a 10-22. In the $300+ range I'd rather buy a 15-22.
