Replacing the buffer on a Marlin (Glenfield) Model 60

[p-64]

Hi,

I'm new to the forums, so **Hi!** to you all.

I just bought a used Glenfield Model 60 and, while cleaning the action, discovered that the buffer had crumbled into leetle tiny pieces. I ordered a replacement part from Brownells and thought I'd ask before getting started if there's anything I need to know before I tackle the job and find myself knee deep in disassembled gun parts. Or is this a pretty easy installation?

Thanks in advance.

Here is a good guide to get down to the buffer. The buffer is easy to replace. A pin with C-clip holds it in. Remove clip with small screw driver return with small needle nose. Doing this inside a dry cleaning bag keeps the little C-clip from getting lost.

Thanks for the prompt reply and link BSlacker! I especially like the dry cleaning bag tip. I'll let you know how it turns out once I get the buffer installed.

Cheers!
