Marlin Model 60 Upgrades?

"Upgrade" it to a 10/22.....It is a better place to start

I don't necessarily agree. I have some pretty high end .22's and one of the most accurate in a Marlin /Glenfield 60 that keeps on kickin.

More accurate that any "stock" 10/22 I have seen.

To find the year of manufacture on a Marlin 60: subtract the first two numbers of your rifle's serial number from the year 2000, and you get the year of manufacture. Eg. my serial # starts with 26, indicationg my rifle was built in 1974.

Marlin 60 changed from 18rds to 14rds around 1984.

Here is my '74 Marlin. You can't see it in the photo, but I've had the bolt jeweled. Stock is direct from Marlin :

I have 2 Marlin 60's that hold 18 rounds. First two serial#'s are 13 and 18.
So I have a 1982 and 1987 that hold 18 rounds?

How about adding a cool ATI stock:


ATI Marlin Semi-Auto Fiberforce Gun Stock

And a nice Barska (and cheap) 4x scope:


BARSKA 4x32 Plinker-22 Riflescope

I use the scope and like it a lot on mine, it durable and holds zero nicely.

Been looking to upgrade my old Glenfield as the stock is pretty beat. I found a new option out there. Has anyone tried them out?

Yes, mine is 1987 and holds 18. Mid 84 they added the last shot hold open feature.
Only thing I did was add the DIP aluminum trigger and trigger guard...

Big fan of the model 60. I have the anniversary model. Its a well built gun for the price.
