Hi,
My late dad has a Marlin Glenfield Mod 60 sold to him by a late uncle. Upon seeing this thread I thought about disassembling his rifle for a general cleaning and I notice a couple of difference on the internals of my dads marlin.
First thing I notice, On the first step to take out the trigger group, it says the plastic split pin that retains the trigger group. My dad's is not made of plastic, its a hollow metal that has a screw at the other end.
The second thig I notice, the front of the trigger group where the instruction says
" to disengage its location. Note two small arrows ...... the right hand one points to engagement cross pin .. the left points to step at front of trigger group which goes over this pin"
Again on my dads trigger group, theres no cross pins but two screws on each side.
And last but not least, the trigger group shown on the pics 1/3/4 has this J like metal sticking out in the middle of the trigger group. My dads don't have it.
Am I looking at a different marlin mod 60 or is my dads rifle modified?
I also notice hammer (I think its the hammer) has a broken ear (the top part is U shape and the other side is broken. Although it does not look like it will interfere on the rifles mechanism, is it safe to fire this rifle once I'm done cleaning it? This rifle has never been fired since '95
Thanks for your inputs.
