22LR Marlin Model 60 22 Cal. Autoloading Rifle.

Procedure below discusses BREAKDOWN AND REASSEMBLY. It also discusses...

Cleaning the action

       We recommend cleaning the inside of the receiver, bolt face, extractors, and bull end of the barrel (around the chamber) after firing each 250 rounds.

(Frequency of cleaning may depend on brand of ammunition used) A toothbrush and commercial gun cleaning solvent will simplify the job.

       Note: I find having an elongated jar, like a Planters Peanut one, helpful. That way, you can immerse the ACTION entirely in a powder solvent. This thoroughly cleans it. I have never had this gun jamb.

       Solvents can be any petroleum solvent. Gasoline, kerosene, alcohol fuel, or the like, will work. Be aware of the danger of fire from fumes of gasoline.

        The steps listed below should be followed carefully to assure proper disassembly, cleaning and reassembly.

       STEP #1 With the safety on SAFE. unload the gun and visually check to be doubly sure no cartridges remain. Then close the action completely.

       Step #2 - The magazine should be removed.

.   Separate the rifle into two segments, the first consisting of the stock and trigger assembly, the second consisting of the barrel and action. Release assembly post by squeezing and pushing in slotted end. Pull post free of action.

(L) Remove assembly post.

Remove action by sliding it to the rear and up.

(M) Remove action.

       STEP #4 -- With the action removed, the bolt, charging handle, recoil spring and spring guide may now be removed. Pull the charging handle back slightly and with the forefinger of your other hand, lift the muzzle end of the breech bolt from the receiver

(FIGURE  N -Lift muzzle end of breech bolt from receiver. ). As you begin to lift the bolt out, the charging handle will become free and can be removed. The recoil spring and spring guide are now within easy reach for removal

(N) Lift muzzle end of breech bolt from receiver.

(O) Remove charging handle, recoil spring, and spring guide.

       STEP #5 -- The barrel, receiver and action are now ready for thorough cleaning. The action should be cleaned in solvent, dried, and oiled sparingly prior to reassembly. Further disassembly of the action is not recommended and should only be attempted by a Marlin Service Center, a qualified gunsmith, or the factory.

       STEP #6 -- (Reassembly is easier if gun is secured in a padded vise, or held by an assistant.) To reassemble, place recoil spring guide into one end of recoil spring, then place opposite end of spring into breech bolt. Next, put recoil spring guide into hole at the rear of the receiver. To prevent kinking the spring, hold breech bolt and recoil spring in one hand and use the other hand to support the spring as shown in  FIGURE  P,  while compressing spring until guide enters breech bolt.

   STEP #7 -- The charging handle can now be positioned through the ejection port. To complete the insertion of the breech bell, be sure the charging handle fits into the slot provided for it in the bolt.

(P) Support recoil spring to prevent kinking.

Reinstall the action by pulling the charging handle back and locking it in the open position, and reversing the action disassembly procedure ,

(Q) Pull charging handle back to replace action.

       When reassembling the barrelled action and stock, be sure the receiver is seated as far back in the stock as it will go while tightening the lake down screw. Otherwise, the gun may not fire.

       Use a very thin coat of light oil during below freezing conditions. Condensation droplets will form soon after the gun is brought into a warm room, or it may become wet during inclement weather. In any case, all moisture should be removed. Exterior metal finishes may be wiped down with a lightly oiled cloth. For long term storage, lightly oil the bore, barrel and action with gun oil. Your gun should be completely unloaded and stored in a dry area with the action open. Never store your gun in a carrying case.
