Marlin Glenfield 60

[IamCaesar]

I have an old Marlin Glenfield Model 60 that belonged to my Grandfather. I am considering having the lite patina removed and adding a trigger kit and scope. I watch Pawn Star and their expert always says not to remove the patina or modify a weapon. With this type gun, I don't think it matters because they are so abundant.

Any thoughts?

The Marlin Model 60 are great 22lr's but I wouldn't worry about making changes to it. They are plenty out there and you can usually find one for sale under $200...

Not sure it's worth the trigger job though unless the current trigger is trashed...

What is the purpose for removing the lite patina?

Funny same thing was said about WWII rifles ( Arisakas , Mausers, MN's) now you all say it ain't worth squat if modified.

Some peoples kids.

I just sold one of the original made in Japan Glenfield scopes from a 1960's Marlin combo. Started bidding on Ebay at $20 ---- went for $195 to some guy in Indiana. Wasn't expecting to get anywhere near that. You never know what some of the old stuff is worth to someone else.
