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.
..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.
I have a Revelation- model 120 , WESTERN AUTO CO. CAL. 22LR. it has Marlin on bitt plate. no ser #. So before 68. ? It has dimand checkering just one big dimand in middle ofvcheckering on back and three on front. Any clue on if it a true marlin or mismach of old guns?
@@BTORange Thank you! nice to know. so at least the barrel was made before 68 cuz there is no serial #, and is full size with brass tube that holds 17, wish there was a bolt open but still shoots great!
