I was just given a Marlin 60 .22 LR rifle that does not function properly. I know this is going to be hard to explain and actually have somebody know what the problem is but I figured I would give it a shot, so if somebody thinks they have a clue as to what might be wrong go ahead and chime in... The problem is when a round is chambered and I pull the trigger to fire the trigger just loosley goes all the way back and the round is not fired. After inspecting the rifle I have found that on the left hand side plate there is a long thin flat piece of metal that runs against the side plate and has a bend at one end and in the middle of the thin flate piece their is a hole that is lined up with another hold on the side plate. I get the feeling that their is supposed to be a spring of some sort that goes throught hese holes and is the root of my problem. http://www.marlinfirearms.com/pdfs/m...ad_RF_Tube.pdf Here is a link to the Marlin 60 owners manual. If you go to the second to last page their is a parts breakdown of the rifle. If you look at the parts breakdown you can see the long thin flat piece of metal I am speaking about attatched to part # 51 and I am kind of thinking that I might be missing part # 15, but I cant tell by the picture due to lack of detail and clarity. Well, I know that a lot of rambling but hopfully one of you can give me a hand. Thanks for any help! |
| first off, it sounds like the trigger is not resetting; take off the trigger guard/assy., there should be a tiny spring that hooks from the trigger, around a little post, and ends up pressing against the trigger guard. if this is not there, there is nothing to make the trigger come back forward, and without that, the trigger will not reset, when the bolt moves back forward. |

that pic does not help too much; it doesnt show your action assy., you need to take pics of it, then take it over to rimfirecentral, and let some of those boys look at it, or go over there, and go to the marlin thread, and go to the search function, and put in action assembly, or pics of action assembly, or pictures of action assembly. and compare yours to the pics. part number 62 has a part that looks very much like part number 15, it sits right on top, and to the left, of the trigger, that is sticking up above the level of the trigger housing. If yours is missing this spring, then no worky. |
