Mine was a Marlin 60 that I still have, but just refinished the stock. I stained it a pre-64 red-brown and did a rubbed finish with BLO, sealed with a beeswax and BLO mix. Looks awesome, removed the rear sight and put a dovetail blank and removed the front sight. I scoped it with a Bushnell. I told you all of this because I did it to give it to my son, he said that he would rather have a bolt action. After getting over that, he now has a Remington 511 Scoremaster. Someone was talking about the golfballs, my friend and I, would set up battles with the green Army men and Tonka trucks and light them up, me with my Marlin and he had a 10/22. It probably looks cooler in my memories than it really was, but still a good time.
