Yes, it does get a bit convaluted..... All Glenfield 60's are the old style, Marlin 60's prior to 1981 or 1982 are considered the old style. After 1982 are considered "new style". The "old style" have a flat end with larger shoulder as a spring stop so to speak. The "new style" are pointed.Numrich must be using a different schematic. Part #47 on theirs, is a takedown screw, rear. But the picture of the part you posted is the recoil spring guide, which is the part I was referring to.
According the part numbers, the part number is the same from the "Old" style Model 60 to the "New" style Model 60. If you decide you want to try an OEM part to replace yours.
Hi folks - seems that with every Marlin / Glenfield model 60 semi-auto .22 I've owned, the recoil spring guide rod is the absolute worst. Probably made of soft steel, they deform rather quickly and cause cycling issues because the bolt block can't slide correctly. I'm sure the rockwell hardness of the OEM guide rod is the same as a hot dog......;-) (I hope I'm not the only person that has experienced this. Beating them back into form and submission is just not working for me).
The question: Has anyone found an aftermarket guide rod made from stainless steel or tool steel? If not, I'm off to the machine shop to have one made. Thanks.
Well, you don’t have to know before trying as long as you have a spare to use if you **** it up.

Check Home Depot, Lowe's or your local hardware store. Where I'm at, we have an ACE Hardware and they have steel rod in that diameter. Bought a 3ft piece some time back to replace the guide rod in my Model 60. Didn't really need to, but had it apart to do a deep clean.
Well going by that thought process, the OP making a thread about this problem seems rather pointless, don't you think?
Maybe buy a spare and try tempering it yourself?
Pretty simple I'd think.
Heat the rod with a MAP gas torch to just barely red.
Quench in an oil bath.
Then re-polish the rod using some very fine emory paper.
Why hasn't OP posted a range report?
Is OP a slacker?
No excuses! Its a beautiful day out there. Get busy Mister.Uh, because the OP just completed the "fix" this morning...and has yet to get to the fun spot to run it through the paces. LOL. Ya, I'm "slackin'"....Love the coffe cup BTW, my son's favorite expression!
