Hello all, I just recently recieved a Glenfield Mod. 60 from my uncle. I tore it apart and on the inside of the stock, right down where the trigger sits, there is a lot of carbon build up. I tried everything but I can't seem to get it off. Does anyone have any ideas about how to get this carbon builup off the wood stock?
 
I don't believe there are any aftermarket parts for these guns. You can stone the sear and trigger some to help the terrible trigger pull. Carb cleaner may help remove the carbon, but don't get it on any plastic parts. Accuracy wasn't bad once you got around the trigger pull.

Not a lot you can do to these, but they were a pretty reliable 22 though the trigger on most was not top notch, but all you can expect from what they sold for.

If you want aftermarket parts your going to have to spring for a 10-22.
 
Watch the plastic parts as noted.

Use some brake cleaner on the Glenfield/Marlin 60.

I have approx. 13 year old Marlin 60 SS with a 4x Simmons 22 mag scope.

There good plinkers/repeaters just clean up the guts every 750 rounds and they cycle perfectly w) high velocity (not hyper velocity ammo). My buddy moved back here and had an old Glenfield that would not cycle. Brought it over and we cleaned up the gunk inside and she ran/shot well.

I often shoot the CCI HPs and take it out plinking woodchucks in the head to 75 yards. But for accuracy plinking the Eley White Bunny hppp ammo shoots really well out of it. At 50 yards with that ammo it puts 10 shot groups near 1" average.

There are a couple aftermarket stocks for it and thats about it. Brownells carrys a gazillion parts for them also.
 
Thanks for your help! I have a few more questions:
1) if I used brake cleaner to get rid of the carbon, would it damage the wood or the finish on the wood?
2) I forgot how to lock the bolt to the rear, can someone refresh my memory?
3)can you explain how to stone and sear the trigger parts?

Bob,
I have a Marlin mod 60 and it shoots pattern at 50 yards. I am pondering on glass bedding it. Do you think that would help? given that the 22RF is so light, would glass bedding have any positive effect for accuracy?
