Marlin Model 60 questions - 02/06/05
Got a Model 60 with problems.
First, it does want to go "bang" all the time. Ammo brand doesn't make a difference, so that's out. The firing pin strike seems a bit light, maybe worn short? Should be easy to replace, right? Anything else that could lead to just a dead "click" when the trigger is pulled? Magazine spring? Been a ton of rounds through this one.
Also, when it does fire, sometimes it does want to extract the empty from the breech, and then when it does, sometimes it does want to kick it out all the way (either stovepipes or jams forward). Again, ammo brand makes no difference. Extractor and ejector worn out? Again, easy to replace, right?
Thoughts? No, I ain't replacing/junking the whole thing 'cause it was my first actual gun (BBs not included). Thanks.
