Squirrels

My Glenfield "Squirrel" collection. Model 60 and 70. I never expected to purchase a Model 60 but when I came across one at auction for $99.99 starting bid I just had to. It was a local dealer and I was the only bidder, no shipping, only tax. That's less than you can get a Parts Kit (sans receiver) for!

For sure. There are 3D printed received for the model 60 and so those parts kits get gobbled up quickly. You just need one of the examples with the squirrels carved into the stock now!

I was unaware of any Marlin 3D printed receivers. However I personally would not buy an unserialized part, just me. Used actual Marlin receivers are cheap until you add auction fees, tax, shipping and FFL transfer fees. I have one Marlin build and it was not cost effective. Probably won't do that again.

Actually 1968 with the gun control act. When a dealer takes one in or sells one the Serial # is filled in as NSN. I think a law was written recently to have numbers added but don't recall how. I have a few old guns without sns like a Nylon 66 and a 24 Savage.
Thanks for the reply. clumsy fingers.
Make that 1968.
Thanks for the correction, clumsy fingers!

Well I did clean the 60 first. It was fairly clean except the bore which I always find dirty. All the e-clips were there and the buffer was okay. It does have a wire spring ejector which was adjusted to the "nickel". Looked original but I don't know when Marlin started using them. This one is a 1974 model.
