Replacing my Marlin 795 with Marlin 60

[JackRydden224]

Just says after I sold my 795 and I already miss that little thing. The local pawn shop has a Marlin 60 for $90 but it's missing the front bead sight. I think I can bargain down some more. What do you guys think?

Buy it, its a better rifle than the 795 anyway. Put a nice rimfire scope or tech sights on it and don't look back. Look at my thread on Nikon rebates here in the Rimfire Forum, nice rimfire scopes for a little $$.

Izzy you represent everything that's wrong with Calguns and the reason why my piggy bank is always empty

I do like the idea of my "tube" holding more than 10 rounds. I will check out the gun on Saturday and hopefully it's an earlier production that holds 18 rounds instead of 14.

Model 60 owner weighing in. You won't be sorry. You can get 16 cartridges in the new model, I do it frequently.

Thanks!

If the wood isn't in tip top shape any idea how much it is to get it refinished?

Yes but I represent everything that's wrong with Calguns so I better not supply the information.

Things that are bad and evil might just be better for you

Thanks to you I will probably be $200 short pretty soon. $100 for the rifle and $100 for the scope

About $50 obo (+ shipping) for my stock model 60 stock...

Replaced it with a Boyds stock as soon as she got home from Turners so its never been used other then to get her home.

Its actually pretty easy to re-finish a stock yourself. Use a stripper to remove the old finish and probably most of the stain. Sand by hand with 220 grit sandpaper until all finish and stain are removed. Finish sanding with 400 grit sandpaper and remove all dust. Clean with mineral spirits and apply the stain of your choice. Let dry for at least 2 days.

Clean again with a tack cloth and then do this: http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums...ight=woodstock

Let dry for 3 days and then sand lightly with 600 grit sandpaper. Wipe dust with a clean cloth. The stock will shine like glass.

I have used this method on three stocks and the results are great.

Total time will take about 4 hours of sanding and 4 hours of Armoral/Truoil application.

I sold my 795 for $125 and bought an early 60 for $70.

That's not too bad, bought a Henry Frontier, 5000 rounds of ammo and 3 of those Nikon Rimfire scopes. Around $1300 all together this month so you got some catching up to do.

This month I bought a Saiga for about $600, magazines and magnifier for about $200, 2 cases from big 5 for $60 and today I'm buying a CMMG upper plus charger handle for $450. I'm actually about $10 ahead of you.

EDIT: Also $175 more on 1,000 rounds of 9mm and $25 more for CCI Blazers....

PS: HOLY COW at all the money I spent

We must do our best to keep the economic recovery going, no backsliding into another recession is to be allowed.

If you end up bringing this one home, PM me . I have a spare front sight. DR

Imagine if the gun laws in California is not such a pain we would be buying a lot more stuff

I went to Turners today for magpul parts and checked out the Citadel M1 Carbine. I must say I like the little thing.

Why is that that I want every gun I've ever touched?
