Celebrating 5000 Subscribers with the Glenfield Model 60 

I've had one for 47 year's & it still will empty the tube, as fast as you can pull the trigger. Micro groove barrel's were ahead of their time in 1975. Mine was purchased at Kmart for $49 with a 4× Glenfield scope.

Keep up the good work. You have 5k subs because you are a nice down to earth guy. We can all enjoy your content. All the best. Looking forward to hunting season! 👍👌😁

I just gave my oldest son (now 42 ) my Glenfield model 25 that I purchased new in 1968. Now I really miss it even tho I have 5 other 22 rimfire rifles however that was the meat gun for 50 years.

Great looking and shooting little 60. Congrats on the channel growth.

Congratulations on your 5k subs I enjoy your videos, I to enjoy 22 rifles especially the older ones they are hard to beat I bought my first 22 in 1960 a Westley Richards made in 1887 Martini action rook rifle, and it still shoots well today here in Scotland .

Congratulations, watching your videos is always time well spent. Great job on the rifle restoration. Restoring vintage 22 rifles has been a great pass time for me lately. I get a lot enjoyment from finding beat up great old rimfire rifles and giving them lots of love. Thank you Cumberland outdoorsman, your a class act!

I have a problem with watching your videos, I can not stop! I keep going back and watching old ones over and over. The best one that keeps me intrigued is the tests on the hollow point shorts. What a under rated cartridge . Took a lot of Raccoons in my very younger years. Just love your presentation of the 22 rimfire and rifles. 👍👍👍👍👍✌🏻🇺🇸😎

I thought that was a Simmons scope! man tho whole setup just takes me right back to when I was 14 -15 years old😊 the good ol days brother! And those old marlins, ther wax nothing you couldn't hit with it-

Just saw this. Congrats! Really enjoy your vids and have told my old friends about you. Your doing a great job. Keep ‘em coming. Doug

You are genuine and natural, that’s why I enjoy your content. Congratulations on 5000

Pretty sweet rifle! I have been wanting one of those like forever!

Nice glenfield model 60, well restored

Beautiful job on cleaning it up.

Congratulations 👏!

I trust your opinion and look forward to your videos keeps me well informed and enhances me Keep up the good work

Congratulations, Tom, on reaching the 5,000 subscriber mark. Onward and upward, it seems like yesterday you were celebrating the 4,000 subscriber mark. Great content will continue to produce even higher levels of interest. Great video, the Glenfield turned out beautifully. The walnut stain took that stock to a new level. Also, your shooting just seems to get even better. The squirrels in your area are not safe, looking forward to seeing you in the woods soon. Now you’ve not only hooked me on the Remington 581’s, I now have a new found interest in the Glenfield Marlins as well. Within the past two weeks I’ve acquired two Glenfield squirrel stock rifles, one was in unaired condition and the other was hardly used. This week I will be receiving a Marlin 65 “Golden 50,” essentially a 60 but with an interesting feature, it has a brass inner and outer magazine tube and “Golden 50” stamped on the barrel. My understanding is that the 65 was made by Marlin as a promotional item for OTASCO, an Oklahoma auto supply company. Should be interesting.

My twin brother and I got the Glenfield Model 60 for our 12th birthday. I still have mine.

CONGRATULATIONS! Enjoy your vids. Thanks

I have my second Model 60 on the way unfortunately the prices on them are going up. I have a dozen .22’s and it’s by far my best shooter. I have an 8 inch steel target 150 yard off my back deck and can consistently nail it with open sights. God I love that ping

Congratulations on 5k subscribers, My Marlin model 60 is My favorite! I do like My 10/22 but its not My favorite.

Your channel is in tune for us older guys. I’m 77 and going strong. I started watching your videos because I’m a black powder guy. I built a Tradition’s.45 cal I bought at Sears over 45 years ago. I’m working on a TVA .54 cal Virginia rifle. Congrats on the 5 k.

Congratulations on your well-deserved success! May your subscribership increase geometrically. You demonstrate and ruminate, but never pontificate. Appreciated. Your .22 Series is my favorite. You’ve done a marvelous job on that Model 60 stock. None better ever arrived from Marlin. Your ammo comparison shooting is immediately valuable and all your work is enjoyable. Again, congratulations! Standing by for more…

Watching your video I was getting ready to leave out in few minutes and shoot my Marlin 990 and Ruger 10/22. Had the Marlin since about 1981 and it's a 1979 year production. Would like more information on doing the bolt hold open feature to the Marlin 990. It has the same action as the Marlin 60.

I was wondering what scopes you use on your squirrel rifles? Are any rimfire specific scopes?( parallax,power etc.) Also been looking for awhile and found a Remington 552. Video on that one would be great. Thanks again for your videos.

Great vid great gun my 99c is jamming you could really fix it with ur expertise

Where did you buy the parts for the Marlin 60 ? I am hoping they are still available. Looked in Brownells and could not find anything. Thank you.

the Marlin model 60 is an excellent choice I love mine, try a marlin model 80 also one of my favorites. I also have a ruger 10/22 i call it my bellybutton gun, everybody has one......

My first gun, I paid for by working as roofer's helper at 12 years of age, 40 years ago.

Much prefer the model 60 Marlin. They are really two different rifles from the 10/22 so I am hoping Ruger/Marlin does bring them back.

I have a question on your rifle. I have the exact model mine is the 1979 Glenfield 60 but my safety will not move to safe unless I tap it over. If you still have your old trigger assembly I will buy it if you could part with it. I've taken my safety apart to try and solve the problem cleaning and inspecting every part. It catches on the ball bearing in under the capture spring like it falls down to far and obstructs the travel. I've taken it apart and tried everything to fix it. Please let me know if you would be willing to sell the old one if you still have it. Thanks so much John.

Remington Yellow Jackets work great in my Glenfield 60 and are Great on Ground Hogs But I would not use on Squirrels they are just to Destructive ! I use 22 Shorts for Squirrels

She is beautiful,I have the same gun,I even have a Simons 4x scope😊

hard to beat the old tube loaders I'll admit I prefer for a range trip my Marlin 795 for ease of reloads but for a working gun you can't beat the old k mart special

If your Model 60 features last shot bolt hold open, it was manufactured between 1985-88. The rifles manufactured 1985-88 are the best Marlin/ Glenfield model 60’s to have in my opinion. You get the 18+1 magazine tube and last round bolt hold open during those years. All model 60’s pre 1985 had the 18 round magazine tube, but no last shot bolt hold open. Post 1988 rifles had the last shot bolt hold open, but the magazine tubes was shortened to 14 rounds due to gun control measures that were brewing for the early nineteen nineties. Those evil “high capacity” magazines… Enjoyed the video! 👍🏻💪🏻🤙🏻

Congratulations on 5000, you deserve more with the great quality videos you put out. Light up that squirrel rifle and get ready for fall.

Love the videos since I’ve found you. You have a lot of great knowledge and I love hearing it. Love watching the hunts also. Looking forward to some archery hunts. Hopefully you have more luck than I’ve been having archery hunting lol. I’ve been holding out for a bigger buck and didn’t want to take any does yet so it’s just the game I’m playing. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

Great video Sr like always and I'm totally with you on the classic Marlin 60 👈is the best 22 rifle ever in my opinion and my others shot on my friend 👍

I still have my Marlin 60. I love it, still shoits great. Mine has the walnut stock with a American Hunting Tradition medallion and the oak leaves and squirrel with gold trigger. It was manufactured same year i was born-1979. Mines says on the barrel Marlin Model 60-79 Limited Edition and has JM stamped on it as well

Beautiful old squirrel stock model 60. Great job with the stock work. I have a '71 year model just like it. Great shooters. They sure aren't made with the style and quality nowadays. Enjoyed!

Congratulations keep the squirrel hunts coming this fall

A well earned 5300+ subscribers. Another great video, Most youtubers just show spray and pray videos with out the history. I like using 1 inch price stickers for targets, I use a six o'clock hold, and they are much less expensive than the target stickers.

Congratulations on hitting 5000 subscribers 👏👏👏 I think I started to follow your channel 4 years ago. Like all of them and what a wealth of knowledge on the 22s and the ammo they shoot. 👍👍👍👍👍✌🏻

You have a great 22 semi-auto that will probably never be manufactured again because Ruger does not want the competition with the 10/22. The Marlin/Glenfield 60 and the Ruger 10/22 were competitors for over 60 years and with Ruger acquiring Marlin the competition is done. The Marlin was just as accurate, and just as well made as the Ruger, but the Marlin was more affordable. Thanks for sharing your Glenfield.

I'm sad it took me so long to find the channel! Love what you do! Thank you! The 60 is my go to semi auto. I own Marlin and GlenField models in a few configurations. One of my favorite is the 75C which was made to look kind of like an M1 carbine with barrel band. Got a killer deal. It was new in box from Woolworths with receipt and tags from 1974. I bought it that way for $75 in 2014. My go too is the Marlin I bought in 1987 after completing my hunters safety. $100 of snow shoveling money and I had myself the kmart scope case and rifle combo package. I'll be taking it out for squirrels this coming Saturday here in NM. Keep up the good vids!

Congratulations on 5,000 subs! Really appreciate your channel and the wholesome content you put out! Looking forward to more great videos! God bless

Don't mean to brag, but I use to hit cans without a scope as a kid at about 45 to 50 yards hit those cans and make them pop up spinning off the ground. Everytime with that gun

Cool video, I have a Glenfield model 10 it's a single shot so I need to make every shot count an I have a Simmons scope on mine as well and it is a tac driver .The Marlin rifles like to shoot the Aguila 60 grain 22LR boy do they pack a punch

Congratulations on 5k . I really appreciate you using older firearms. I also have a Remington 581 (1969). The hunting trips are great to watch since I don't get the opportunity to hunt like I used to. The demonstrations are great too. Please continue the great job. Thank you.

Congratulations, and thanks this informative video, ammo tests are so good.

Congratulations

You inspired me to fix mine, best 22 guns ever made! Congrats on the sub count bud

Your doing great, I really like to see the different rounds shot into different Media showing the results and what you may expect to see on a game animal. Thanks for all the hard work you've put in to make the videos.

Congratulations and yes sir hard pressed to find any firearm of any kind these days for under a hundred dollars.

Congratulations on the Big 5,000 Cumberland Outdoorsman 😀❤️😀😊

A great find ! Enjoy your videos keep up the good work.

I have to say that I have never required a hollow point bullet to kill a squirrel.

Congratulations!!! Glad to be a subscriber and watch every video. Great down to earth videos. Now time for you to start harvesting those tree rats !!! 😂😂 Take care !!! 😁🇺🇸😁🇺🇸

that mdl-60 is a masterpiece . i'll take 10 bricks of eley. i like your videos cause their clear and succinct.

I'm 56. My first rifle was the Glenfield mod. 60, " Alamo commemorative". Bought it at an Otasco store in East Point, Ga. Lost it. Anybody got one they dont mind getting rid of?

I use the Marlin 795 and this year I am putting it in the 995 wood stock. But I have used the ammo you are showing and a few others, Federal champion 36 grain is my favorite, but of all the squirrel I have taken with the Marlin I am not seeing any proof of bullet expansion in a squirrel. It looks like just a clean pass thru in squirrel. I shot a 30# feral hog in the head with the federal 36 grain and the hole on the far side (exit wound) was MUCH larger than the entry side. I have thought about trying the segmented rounds this year. Oh well,happy hunting. And GREAT looking Squirrel getter ya got there.

Sir,where are you buying your parts for the bolt lock back for your older Marlin 60? I also have an older model with out the lock back assembly and would like to add it to my rifle,any help will be appreciated. Also i really enjoy your videos and tips.Thank you .

I know at 50yds I have 2 marlin m/60s one short an one long barrel both out shoots my savage mark 2 an ruger American. Cci standard an mini mags make nickel groups

Second DK's comment

The older you get the more you enjoy shooting a 22 i think THey are great rifles

I heard that Rosi has the right to the Marlin 925 . Rossi has a 120$ 22 rimfire rifle for around 120$ shoots great and the gun does look just like the Marlin.

What is the best way to get the old finish out of the checking of the stock that seems to the hardest part of refinishing a stock would like to know what you do to remove the old finish from the checking. Good video Thanks👍🌞

Got the single shot glenfield 22 and a pawn shot years ago for 50 bucks good little guns

Beautiful rifle. I love the model 60. I think Ruger probably won't reproduce the model 60 just like you said but I can see them making the lever action's to rival the Henry's. I would like to see a Mini-14 video if you own one.

Whatva a great channel national asset congrats great werk

Just acquired a '79 JM model and really like it!

I have 2 mod 60 😊 parts are getting scarce 😢both run great

Them little 60s can shoot

That's very good I used to own a glenfield model 60 rifle the only ammunition I could get it to shoot was Winchester's.

The president of Ruger has stated that they will be making the model 60 soon. I can see his thinking. Why not corner the market on the 2 best selling semi auto .22's ever made.

My opinion is that Ruger will not ever produce the marlin 60 and 795 because it will compete with their beloved 10/22.I have one 10/22 and that's enough.I just keep it for my collections of .22lr rifles.I have one marlin 795 and I would buy another one.I have four model 60, two Glenfields 18 round tube mag with squirrel stock.One 18 round tube with last shot bolt hold open model 600 with a gold trigger a Big 5 sporting good store exclusive.One 15 round tube mag with last shot bolt hold open.Thats how much I like my marlins.I subscribe.

I've had about 5 M60's over the years and all of them have shot good.....But I have always hated the stock crown Marlin puts on them so after I re-crown them with an 11 degree target crown they have all shot better......The current and only one I have left started out as a 2001 M60 SB and it is fully customized and is a tack driver with subsonic ammo.

Congrats (belatedly) on getting 5000 subs! I think you could be dubbed the Bob Ross of shooting, which is why you're enjoying your success. Looking forward to more terrific .22 series videos from you. My best group ever was with my 1976 Glen 60. 25yds, 5 shots you could cover with a dime.
