Hello everyone, i'm new here. I did an extensive search in the archives but it seems i'm the only one with this problem.
My marlin model 60 will fire, eject the old, and load the new but somehow it doesn't seat the firing pin correctly because when I go to pull the trigger again there is no click. Imagine that it loads like it should but doesnt cock. I pull the bolt back and a clean fresh unfired bullet comes out and a new one goes in, and this time it will work. Basically, it fires every round only after I rack the receiver. When it reloads its own it wont fire. I've cleaned this rifle more extensively than I have cleaned anything in my entire life, and to no avail.
The problems I know of;
The buffer is cracked but still in one piece.
The rear mount hole for the tigger assembly has broken off but in such a way that if I put it back together as though nothing were wrong, it still mounts up tightly.
I'm not sure if it's old or new style, the serial is 15507641. If anyone could tell me i'd appreciate it. Once I know if it's old or new style i'm going to order some parts regardless.
