- Description: Andrew from BTO Range breaks down everything you need to know about the classic Marlin Model 60 semi-auto .22 rifle. He covers the history of how it was designed, the different models and variations over the decades, and what to watch out for when buying one used today. If you've owned or shot a Model 60 before, this video is a fun walk down memory lane. And if you're new to these iconic American rimfires, it's a great intro with insights on potential issues to be aware of. Whether you're a collector or just a .22 plinker, this is a must-watch for Marlin fans.

Had one my father bought me when I was 10 years old. On my 60th birthday he gave it to me. This is golden I haven't used it since it's the squirrel model. I've been fortunate on firearms. But this one will always stay with me. Thank you.
"It's only worth what someone is wiling to pay" All my kids have heard that statement a time or 2. Another great video! I bought one new from a sporting goods store for $99.00 package deal with a scope. I think that was around 98, if my memory is correct.
The model 60 is like the old model 700. A true American workhorse. In my experience they have always outshot the 10/22
Thank you again for an interesting video. 👍
..wish I find a Marlin 81c..dad gave me ine 61 years ago in June 1963 on the night I graduated 8th grade..left it behind in NJ when I moved to FL in 1979...
The feed throat kit, just as you mentioned - with the parts you mentioned, is available now from Numrich Arms / GunParts Co. Northern Magnetic LLC Gunsmithing, or any other good professional experienced gunsmith can fit & install in the older Marlins & Glenfield. A few modifications have to be accomplished. But Numrich Arms should be commended for their excellent parts support in these challenging times. Thanks for this video on the 99 / 60 type
Gun Parts Corp does have a reproduction new-style feedthroat, lifter and lifter spring available as separate components with a total cost of around $70 plus shipping. The feedthroat will have to be modified to fit the older sideplates and depending upon the age of the rifle may require a different bolt. With labor, that project may well be too costly for most Marlin 60 owners (sentimental value aside). We've fitted a lot of new feedthroats into old Marlin 60's and when the OEM feedthroat conversion kits were available it could be done at a reasonable cost. I'm glad Gun Parts Corp (and Jack First) have begun offering the repro parts for these guns - it's up to the customer whether the expense is worth it.
