Howdy gents,
I am new to this area of "tfl" and I was looking for a little help restoring a marlin model 60 .22lr. A project that may not deserve the time and dollars to restore but still I would like to try because I had many a pleasant afternoons squirreling with this rifle back in the 70's. At first look everything looked ok except the white plastic piece at the back right of the hammer mechanism. So im looking to replace the entire hammer mechanism. So my question is where can i find such a part.
Thanks for your time.
 
Thanks for the info Mal H, i visited their web site and they do have all the parts but i was hoping to find the whole hammer mechanism, mine fell completely apart and all the schematics I'm finding on line dont seem detailed enough.
 
I may have a schematic on it laying around here, I will see if I can find it for you and post it if I do. It isn't hard to replace the hammer on this gun. I would go ahead and order the parts to upgrade the feeding system while you have it apart. Marlin has done a fine job with improving the rifle over the years and it has gone from a jamo matic to a very fine shooting and feeding rifle with the new parts upgrade. Like Hoghunting suggested, getting a spare one to have isn't a bad idea just to have a second rifle in case parts ever get scarce.

This is the best I have found so far on the hammer mechanism and its just a bit to vague for me, if someone has some pictures, that would be much appreciated.

Have you tried calling Marlin (800) 544-8892? Just tell them you just bought the gun and see if they will send some of the parts for free. When I first bought my wife this rifle I broke the whole gun Apart and bent the recoil spring all to hell and slightly bent the recoil spring guide putting it back together. I called and got this lady who could not have been nicer and sent the parts out free of charge. I have the owner’s manual in my hands and it is the same picture as you have posted. If you need the parts names list I have that I could write the numbers down for you. Good Luck

Anyone know where to get new furniture for this rifle?
 
The bolt buffer (the little plastic thing as you called it) is a standard replacement part. You don't need t replace the entire trigger mechanixm, just buy a bolt buffer and put it in. The entire trigger mechanism would cost as much as the rifle is worth.

Completely disregard what Coltlover has posted. There are enough entities in this country trying to screw over the firearms industry (politicians, trial lawyers etc.) and now Coltlover wants you to screw Marlin out of a few lousy bucks. Theres much better advice out there, dont take his.......
 
Sorry if I offended you ColtEd if you noticed I said a few parts not the whole shebang. Just trying to help sorry for any misunderstanding. At least he now he has the number and can call to place an order.
 
i have had one marlin apart, and one of the extractors was totally junk, and so when u chambered the first round ud have to slam it pretty good or they just pop out. I think it has something to do with the timing and that nifty "follower" hits them too hard. Father plain wore out a marlin as a kid.
 
update on marlin rebuild,

not only was the buffer broken but also the pin clips that hold the thing mechanism together, and with the heads up from you guys(mal h) about numrich (thank you very much) i was able to get the parts needed cheaply enough and after a few too many hours of work i got it back together, saved this old rifle from the scrap pile..........now about refinishing the wood, any ideas ???
thanks guys
 
Hey ragwd,
I have the same problem you did with your hammer mechanism, i was wondering how you got it all back together, i cant really figure out how to get it all back together. Any advice?
 
A while back I advised not to take that trigger group apart unless necessary and got flamed by folks saying how simple it was.

Like they say in courtroom dramas, I rest my case.

GunNutPerk,
Welcome to The Firing Line. I think it is the best single source of information on the world wide web. These guys are good.

That link is to Numrich Company, they have parts that you might need. Also on that page upper right corner "open schematic in new window" then enlarge it and print it. I sweated and swore for longer than I want to admit but I after many tries I finally got it together. My problem was the pin rings broke apart so when I took the reciever apart everything fell apart. I am no way a smith but I have alot of patients, and kept trying until I got all the springs back in the right spot. I am sorry that I have no other advice except that it aint brain surgery and with trial and error and paying attention I hope you get lucky like I did. Really if you ask the right question you will find alot of help here. If you continue to have problems, let me know I will take pictures of mine.
