Brought the Marlin home today. Serial number indicates that it was manufactured in 1988. Ran a full tube of ammo through it without a hiccup.
It's probably in number five position for sighting in and tinkering.
You got a good one to have as shooter.
Originally the Model 60 (as opposed to the walnut stock Marlin 99 versions) were a Glenfield branded gun with stocks that had the pressed Checkering and Squirrels in them . I still own a few of those and they are a fun little rifle.
In the mid 1980s Marlin dropped the Glenfield designation and made them as Marlin m60s with plain birch stocks. By then they also had incorporated the wider polymer trigger guard with the bolt stop release which many folks prefer. When your gun was made, they still had the full length 18 round tube magazine.
