For a piece of birch wood, that stock turned out nicely. You do excellent refinish work.

I will ALWAYS love those Marlin Model 60s. Great little rifles, for small game hunting, and for plinking. Bought my first one, just a basic Model 60, in 1983. Have owned four different versions over the years since.

Love your channel, my shooting buddy just gave me one of these rifles and I really like it. Beautiful stock job!

I am new to the channel, and glad I found it. I share your love of vintage 22 rimfire rifles. Have collected a number of them over the years including several Remington 552’s, 572’s, and a 241. Also, a Savage model 29A, a JC Higgins model 33, a High Standard Sport King, a Browning SA, and several Marlin model 60’s and Ruger 10/22’s. I am hoping to find a Remington 581 or 582. But I enjoy most the accuracy, blued steel and wood stocks of the vintage ones. I will be going through all the past videos picking up some tips and enjoying the viewing. I am 74 and a number of these pieces I have used years ago and missed them all. Thanks.

Good morning from Kentucky! I too collect vintage .22 rifles and the Marlin/Glenfield are my favorites. I’ve watched your restoration videos and have restored the stocks and internals on all my Marlin rifles. You mentioned in this video on how to restore 7:35 receiver cover. I have racked my brain on how best to restore these covers short having them anodized. I’ve seen people strip them and leave them in raw aluminum or spray paint them. I don’t think either one of these methods look good. I would love to see a video on restoring these covers! I watch every video you make, they are very informative and have inspired me to restore mine. Keep up the good work and God bless.

Great job Tom! You give a lot of love to these cheap old .22 rifles, and they deserve it!

Put a Marlin White Bullseye in the hole if it’s centered. That’s what I did with an old Marlin Bolt Gun. Looked better than filling the hole. Good job.

Hey Tom another great video and job on refinishing and old classic Marlin. Your finish in my opinion looks better than the factory finish. God Bless and can’t wait until squirrel season so we can watch you use it.

Great shooting! Finished stock looks really nice, too.

One of my favorite gun stories: Back about 1983 I bought a HUGE oldsmobile Custom Cruiser station wagon from a friend of a friend of a friend - for $200. These things had power everything. some where on the drive home I adjusted the power seat. I could hear it straining and then a loud CRACK. When I got it home I looked under the seat and found what appeard to be a brand new Marlin Glennfield mod 60 .22 rifle...... Broken in half ( wood stock). I glued the stock back together with Elmers and a vice and you could not even tell that it was ever broken. It's 2024 and I still have that gun and soot it regularly. They are a pain in the ass to clean propery though.

Very nice restoration job!

Outstanding video! Wish I had a place like that to plink. 🎯

You did right by that fine little rifle. It now looks a lot better. The Butt plate exchange was the perfect addition. I love this channel. As always, great video.

GREAT VIDEO. REALLY ENJOYED THE HOLE REPAIRS

Really enjoyed your video, fine looking little rifle, fantastic

Pretty darn cool 😎 👌 👍very nice looking rifle grate job 👍

What a nice little classic. I may need to keep my eyes open for one. You have it looking and shooting great!

Great video, Tom. Super job on that stock. I learned some more subtle hints on improving stock refinishing results. I double checked my 1985 model and mine is an exact copy of your rifle. Year of manufacture is 1985, 22 inch barrel, full length magazine tube, JM marking, last shot hold open feature, and the same no-name butt plate.

It looks great Tom!

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.

Really turned out nice good job sir

Great video as usual. To cover the stained dowel plug at the bottom of the butt stock you could coverage it with the Marlin white circle black center target trademark. Just an idea to think about. Keep the videos coming.

Great video!

I did the same thing about 5 months ago. Bought one off of gun broker and took it to the range. It shot ok so I thought I'd refinish it. It was an older one and didn't have the last shot hold open feature. I thought I'd address that too. Sanded down the stock, stained it and refinished it with Truoil, and that came out beautiful. very nice grain and it looks like walnut instead of the puke gray it started out. I also put a white spacer between the stock and but pad. On the action side it was a little more difficult. I changed the whole action to the new style. I loosened the two front screws and filed the side bars down till the space was even across the bottom of the receiver and used the steel male/female bolt for the rear hole to hold the action in place. Then I had to cut the slot in the stock and trigger guard for the release tab to come through. You can't tell it wasn't factory except my trigger guard (metal one), has the two screws in the back. Then there was the bolt I got from eBay. it was too tall to go back and forth between the action and the receiver, which took several attempts of sanding and polishing to make go all the way through the cycle. It was too tight at the back and cause jams and didn't cock the hammer. It had crappy sling swivel's already in the stock, so I put Uncle mikes on to replace them and put a nice leather sling on it too. So I got the gun for just over a hundred with shipping, and replaced the action and bolt, about $70. Replaced the swivel's, which I already had and bought a sling for about 20. All-in, it's about $230 and it's a tack driver. Of course that doesn't count the time and labor, but that's what makes it special and you can't put a price on that.

Nice work on that rifle; the Marlin butt plate was a good addition. I use CCI standard velocity for general purpose target shooting but when I get really serious, the SK ammo comes out! Thanks for the educational video!

Thank goodness..... I was getting worried.

Thanks.

Good morning, Tom, Nice video, I'll have to try some of that SK semiauto ammunition. You did a terrific job on the Marlin 60, it looks great! Hope you have a great week. JT Baren County, KY.

Keep up the amazing work and I really enjoy your video's

Thanks for your time showing us the process you use on refurbishing gun looks great 👍. I finally got my hands on that Remington 592-5mm, ( 1st) time I've seen it in person just pictures only and it's in very good condition 👍 the appraiser tags show 1box t/ammo and 2 boxes of h/ammo but person who had it ( father passed in 20 ) doesn't know where it would be at this time but when they had family pick up reloading equipment not sure if it was in that box, so I've seen some online but going to get w/ my nephew in Texas where Aguila has a plant? But i will come across some.

Mark Novak shows how he helps damaged screws look much better

Thanks for another great video. You are the best at refurbishing rifles I have seen on the internet. I really like the Marlin 60 but parts are almost impossible to find since they are not made anymore. Where do you get your replacement parts ? I can't find a source for parts for my Model 60. Best Regards and keep the videos coming. So informative and enjoyable!

I have lots of trouble with my 2 model 60 s and 1 99c. Remington 550-1 and 552 best ever

799 a good price for a 4 digit serial number marlin 39a. Fair to good condition

Another top notch vid cumbee

That must be some lightning bugs I keep seeing flashing ?

Auction CMP at 692 for remmy 40x .22LR shortened barrel

I think those Remington 581's may have some competition with that kind of shooting. Waiting to see this receiver fix. Also ( from 200th video) would sure like to see your clay thrower to see how you activate it with your foot? ( or model and brand) Thanks another good one.

Should I stick with weaver g4 on win 69 or is there a modern 3/4 inch tube scope great channel best in biz

Recommended scope set up for 1974 Glenfield 60? How to mount it etc. Do you have a video on that? Thank you.

So how do you fix the horrible feeling plastic trigger that is so creepy and crunchy?

Come shoot a CMP rimfire match with us!! Tennessee Sports Foundation, Jx TN

My local pawn shop have a Marlin model 700 semi automatic for less than $150 it needs a little bit of work, but I can not find a lot of information about this model. Does anyone knows about this model?

Nice video. Marlin recommends jacketed ammo with micro groves. Have you tried using jacketed ammo?

Nice work. Would you ever use Danish oil to finish a stock?

Tom, I need your help. I have I believe a 1968 Allstate model 50, by carter and co. Made by marlin I believe. A couple of things are different. It has a 25 inch barrel along with the 25 inch loading tube. It does not have a bolt hold open On the last shot. It does have a bolt hold button on the charging handle. It does not have any injections spring Like the Marlin And I cannot find any information or videos, showing one without ejection spring Like mine. You are the only KZfaqr that I can find that seems to have all the knowledge on these Marlins. Any information that you can give me on this one would be appreciated.

Sir,can you still get internal parts for your Marlins,I need a new bullet feed block for one of mine but can not find one.All the ones I find are sold out with no time line on any .Really enjoy all your videos and information on 22 caliber rifles.I also have a Remington mod.752 which is my most accurate of all my 22 rifles.

I don’t buy ammunition from Walmart. I’ve had too much accuracy issues with Walmart ammunition.

No sound

Sitting on a shooting pad. I guess all show no shooting . Those first groups are crap.

Good Sunday morning to everyone. Thanks for the video and update. 👍 Remember everyone seek Jesus Christ in your life he is the answer through it all ✝️🙏👍

Cmp auction 2 remmy 40x one made for cumberland outdoors red white and blue army national guard it's ur destiny cumbie

These guns are junk when they get a lot of wear they jam

Forgive me the restoration is not just wood stain and shooting targets. I hoped for real gunsmithing on the action .Or just not dissising ammo. You never showed how to load it. Or addressed the action and feed issues. I don't like to kill like you.
