Marlin 60

I have a model 60 with a gold trigger. What is the significance of this? Is a "special model" or limited edition? I've never seen another one like it.

Have a Marlin 60 that doesn't fire second bullet. It will feed 1st bullet into chamber and fire, eject and properly feed 2nd bullet into chamber. However it will not fire second bullet. The firing pin leaves a light indention on the second bullet. This indention is ligher than indention on first bullet which fired. Have checked to insure bolt is fully closing and disassemlbled, and thorghly cleaned and scrubbed all parts. It continues not to fire second bullet. If I place not fired 2nds bullet as 1st bullet in magazine it will fire, but will not fire second bullet. Any help appreciated.

I have a Revelation 120 (Marlin 60 branded for Western Auto) .22LR with a 17 round tube, made in 1960. A great plinker and "unbelievably accurate" (good for me because I'm a terrible shot).

It has 2 problems:

1) Loading the first round always jams, once I move it into position with the help of a bent paper clip and close the block, it fires the next 16 rounds flawlessly. Anybody have any idea why it won't load the first round?

2) After the last round fires it's supposed to hold the bolt open half way but never does. Any idea why? Could these problems be related?

I know the gun isn't worth much but it's a lot of fun to shoot especially with the 17 round tube (don't make them anymore).

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thx.

Brophy mentions nothing about the gold trigger, but he also does not mention that on other models, and my model 81 also has a gold trigger. Probably you and I are just special. My wag is that it was added after a certain point in production as a cosmetic upgrade, say beginning in 1978 or whenever.

mine has the "gold" trigger, don't think there is anything special about it, its just a Marlin 60 that I picked up from Wal*Mart about 4 years ago (before I had been indoctrinated into the evils of this company, walmart that is, not marlin)

reddnek

my first model 39 also had the gold trigger and was advertised as the golden someting or other(mountie maybe)

gold triggers dont mean much even if there brownings, which is where the gold trigger contriversy started.
