Ive got probably 10,000 fond memories with a Marlin model 60. All with my late grandfather. My cousins and I all learned how to shoot with one. Nothing but fond memories of my child hood and powder burnt with grandpa. A few years ago I was offered a stainless model in trade and I jumped at the chance.

I sure miss my grandpa as he was an incredible man whom I loved deeply and spent tons of time with, but I feel a little connected every time I shoot my model 60, and my Colt 1911.
