What's Included
- Marlin Model 60 .22 LR semi-automatic rifle
Produced in 1988 at Marlin’s North Haven, CT facility, this Model 60 represents the late-1980s configuration with a 14+1 tubular magazine. The Model 60 ran from 1960 to 2020 with over 11 million made, and the line has since been discontinued, adding context for collectors and enthusiasts.
The 22 inch barrel uses Marlin’s Micro-Groove rifling, and the bore is clean with sharp rifling. This combination is a hallmark feature of the Model 60 and a key characteristic valued by rimfire shooters.
Operation is semi-automatic blowback with right-side charging and right-side ejection. The tubular magazine provides a 14+1 capacity in .22 LR, consistent with this era’s configuration.
Sights are straightforward and functional: a ramped front blade paired with an open rear sight using a step-elevator. The receiver includes integral 3/8-inch rimfire dovetail grooves for tip-off rings.
The rifle wears a one-piece, smooth, uncheckered hardwood stock with a black hard buttplate molded with "Marlin." The blued finish complements the classic profile, and the length of pull measures 13.5 inches. Made in the USA.
