    To me, this is the best part of the hobby of firearms. I love to hunt down older .22's and clean, refinish, re-blue and restore them to like new condition. I then take them out and run some ammo through them at the range. I shoot all of my firearms and I love to maintain them in proper working order. Take your time. Remember that nobody was born knowing how to work on firearms. We all had to learn how. Patience is one of the keys. Talk to others that love this sport. Absorb their knowledge and pass it along when someone else needs a little help. This is a satisfying sport, and it has deep traditions. Enjoy.

    Thank you for doing this video. The timing could not be better. I am about to undertake a complete restoration of Glenfield Marlin 60. It belonged to my late Brother. Our dad bought it for him when they first appeared on the scene. It was gone from my family for literally decades, until my next older Brother passed. He took possession of it in 1966 and kept it in his closet for years and years. He moved all his “stuff” to his new wife’s storage building and forgot about the rifle. When he passed 10 years ago, my sister-n-law and I went through all his possessions, including what he had in storage. To my utter surprise, as we unwrapped the blankets he had it stored in, my sister n law dropped it to the floor. She had no idea that it was in there. It had been in storage wrapped in a blanket since 66. All the metal was rusted and the wood was dinged and scratched up badly. Sister-in-law asked if I wanted the .22? I all but snatched it from her hands in absolute shock and joy. I am the last member of my family that knew my oldest brother. All other family that knew him personally are gone. So, I finally got the courage up to refinish and restore this wonderful heirloom. So, again, thank you for doing this.

    I picked up a model 80 from a friend several years ago to say that it was in rough shape would be kind. I cleaned the surface rust from the barrel with wd40 and a scotch bright pad it came out very good the bolt was soaked in kerosene, disassembled and cleaned it came out good the stock was sanded and treated with toung oil. after firring the gun several times and watching videos of marksmen with expensive rifles in completions I thought that my Marlin could shoot groups just like them. I mounted a bipod and a scope the micro groove Barrel 24inch long provide tight groups at 50 and 100 yards. I'm very proud of my rifles. I also have a pre war model 80 and an early 80s model 60 that never disappoints

    I prefer older guns too. I'm 38 years old and although that's not exactly young, it's not really long in the tooth either as they say. It seems folks around my age and even some older don't really care for the old stuff unless it's an iconic piece or from a video game. Your video on that Russian steel cased 22 lr Junior Ammo hit home with me. I have my grandmaws Remington model 512 bolt action single shot. I grew up shooting that rifle and she taught me how. I've seen her sit from the front porch swing and pick off things I couldn't even see. It still has the irons on it. I never scoped it out. I cherish that rifle and will always have it. She also gave me an old Savage Steven's 12 Guage single shot too that was one she had of one of her brothers. He gave it to her to keep when he left to go overseas in the service bc she was alone with 3 daughters way out on the land. She was a true marksman. She filled many a burlap sacks with rattlers and copperheads and cotton mouth while in her garden and around the property. It's still in good shape and aside from a few scratches on the stock it's great. I still get it out occasionally to reminisce and plink and show someone new. It's priceless to me along with that 12. I have several other older guns and new ones but I rather have the older stuff bc they're just made better and has more character in my opinion. I go to pawn shops and mom and pop gun shops around here in NW Alabama and everytime I go anywhere else because those shops is where that good stuff and a good chance some great deals are to be had. Anyways, this got long but I like giving context and story and always heard reading is good haha. For some reason any length in a comment or post is frowned upon and poked fun at nowadays. Sign of the times I reckon. I appreciate your videos and very happy I found your channel sir. I'll be subscribing. Have a great day from top of Underwood Mountain. 🐍🇺🇸

    I worked at a J.C. Penney store in the early 70's when I was in high school. Back then Penney's had a hardware & firearms department; we sold these Marlin/Glenfield 22-caliber rifles all the time. As I recall they cost somewhere between $50 and $60. Ammunition ran about 1 cent per round; 50 cents for a box of 50 LR.

    • @CumberlandOutdoorsman
      @CumberlandOutdoorsman  Год назад +1

      he was delighted to say the least. The receiver and barrel are held together very snug, and there's a pint that wedges the two tightly. Remove the pin, then use a soft mallet (made of hard rubber or lead) and the barrel comes out of the receiver. Just remember to mark the two where they meet so that they go back together aligned properly.

The old Remingtons I get but a marlin model 60. 🤯. If you were ever to shoot a Cz 452,455 or 457 you would feel sick the next time you shot any other rimfire. Don’t get me wrong, I like your videos and appreciate all your effort.

    • @CumberlandOutdoorsman
      @CumberlandOutdoorsman  25 дней назад +1

      I once owned a 452. After trying several different types of .22 ammo I was rather disappointed. The Remington 581 I had and still own shot circles around it. I know you are thinking that maybe I am stretching the truth, but I honestly wanted that gun to shoot well. That's why I say I once owned it. Perhaps the one I had was defective or something, but I bought it brand new and I was downhearted about it. Maybe I'll get another one and give it another try, but after shooting 1/4-inch 50-yard groups with my old Remington's, it would take alot to impress me. Two weeks ago, I ran across a Marlin XT-22, and it shot extremely well putting 5 rounds of Eley subsonic hollow point LR's into a one-hole cluster at 50 yards, and I only gave $125 for it.

I watched this video a couple of months ago, and when I was at a swap meet, I purchased a 1939 copper penny for five cents. It came in handy yesterday. Yesterday, I went to a gun show and I found a rifle I have always wanted, but it had some rust. I got the rifle for a song. I came home and got after the barrel with the old penny, and nos it looks like it just came out of the box. Thanks again so much. I would never have thought of that in a million years.

I also have two rifles that I have confirmed are vintage. One is a Marlin 336SC in .35 Remington from 1951 and the other one is a 1962 Remington 700 ADL in .264 Winchester Magnum. I also have a passion for older fishing rods and reels and have several combos I use. Not the fanciest things, but they get the job done. Keep up the good work

    Lot's of tips, tricks, and good technique. Watch this video before you start. Kerosene as a solvent is smart. The overnight mineral oil was clever. As for the penny, I'm not a fan. Those old wheat pennies are nearly gone in circulation. You can find nearly 100% copper scrubbers. Used it to remove a lead build-up in a .22 rifle. Be patient, I wasn't, let the solvent work for you to loosen it. Thank you Remington! As for the stock, I might have done it differently. But, it's impossible to determine for sure in the video. It was a really bad split in the wood. As for your hands, it's proof a man works for a living.

    • @CumberlandOutdoorsman
      @CumberlandOutdoorsman  10 месяцев назад +1

      If the stock were of walnut, or burl maple, I would have used Tru-Oil and hand rubbed the wood. I think they used birch and stained them from the factory. Oh, BTW, that penny is not a wheat penny for sure. My wife collects them, and she would skin me if I used a real wheat penny to rub out an old .22. All pennies up to a certain date were made of copper, but your suggestion of using a copper scrubber is good, and I'll look into it for future projects. Thanks for sharing your suggestions.

    Great video - new sub here - as far as fixing up the slots on the screws - Mark Novack suggests to use a polish small ball peen hammer to flatten down the rough edges before you attempt to file down /recut the slots.. you lose less metal this way..

    Great job restoring a nice old model 60. Just finished reviving my old model 60 and treated it to some new upgraded parts. Working on an old family Marlin model 57M lever gun now. It had surface rust like the one you worked on but cleaned up nicely with steel wool saturated with CLP. After a nice cleaning they both run great. Keep up the good work.

    It looks great! About the crack in the stock, I saw a guy put CA glue (super glue) in the crack and sand the area so the sanding dust would fill the crack. I thought that was pretty clever and it worked great, better than wood filler.

    Great video, one thing to note is you want to lock the bolt back when putting the side plate assembly back in so you don’t accidentally bend the ejector spring. The factory manual mentions it. Outstanding use of common tools everyone has in their garage. Thanks again

    I have an old Marlin model 70 that I'm about to restore. got it when I was 15, now am 27 just got it back(thought I had lost it during multiple moves). Just looked up and it was manufactured in 1990 - not super old but still needs some love. I will end up after restoration using this in steel challenge.

    That’s awesome man. I have one of the squirrel models just got recently and it was very very dirty (though still solid and intact) so I gave it a really good cleaning yesterday and eager to run it again. It was decent running but had a few jams when I first tried it which I expected. It was very cheap to buy and I wanted to save it.

    I've restored quite a few old guns and I get people saying that I destroyed the value. That they are more desirable with the old patina and roughed up stock showing decades of use (and often abuse). To me, I don't particularly enjoy owning anything that shows someone else's carelessness.

    I had a choice of about five old model 60's and selected a Glenfield with a different checking pattern than the standard with the squirrel. It has oak leaves on it. The rear sight is very loose and the trigger guard broke in the same spot. It shoots fine after cleaning. I'd like to restore it and give it to my son when he's old enough.

    I"m impressed with your skills. It takes me back to when my grandfather retired as a master wood carver and began his second career as a gunsmith. I watched him almost daily make these same repairs for other people and he loved doing it for 20 years up till his death in 1991. I personally would be hesitant giving it back to the same person who neglected it for so many years. I look forward to more of your videos.
