I bought a rifle back in 1976 that sat around in my lake cabin and got pretty gunked up, so I tried to clean it, and not being as knowledgeable as people here, I thought I would ask this question.
(When I was cleaning the Fire Control Feed Assembly part of it just fell apart and I have a left over spring)
My question is, I think that it'd probably be best if I just bought the parts on e-Bay and replace it all that way, but since this rifle is older, and the parts that I am seeing on there are of the newer versions, would these work in my rifle?
If I had to I could also get the bolt too, if that'd help.
I looked at a lot of YouTube videos on how this stuff went back together and I actually got it back together more than a few times, it's just that I have this really, teeny-tiny spring that was left over, now, it may be from my bolt, I am not sure, I don't remember taking it apart at all though.
Since my rifle is so old, the videos that I have watched have all been from the newer versions, and, from what I gathered, slowly it appears that Marlin has just been upgrading the parts, so that makes me think that if I bought a NEW Fire Control Feed Assembly, that it should fit into my older 1976 Model 60 .22...
Also, getting parts that are newer and more improved is a good thing, I feel, that is another reason I want to buy, rather than fix, but either way, I really would just like to have my .22 back to a working order.
I am not sure what part of the forum that this needs to be in, I just chose the best one as far as a newbie like me would choose.
If you know for sure the answer, that would be really a good thing, if you have ideas as to what be a good solution, that's good too!
Please let me know what you think, I sure would appreciate that.
Thank you!
Randy
