I’m still confused, is it the gas block or gas tube that’s loose?

I don't care, I'm not going back into that pile to look for it!!!! :cussing:

LOL, yes, it has a guide rod -- but it's the short GI-style guide rod. What I was looking for (because I'm an idjit) was something longer.

Some very low round count night work, with pro mask! Been a while!

Shot El Prez, rifle, slow and clumsy 17 seconds, but clean!

Then up drills/singles & doubles, and transitions, 10 & 7 yards. Life is good.

Finished putting together another project.

This one is a little different, some of you may know that Marlin produced a special 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of their model 60 in 2010

We'll here is my take on it:

Image

I call it the Super Deluxe Edition.....starting with a 1986 vintage model 60, which has the 22" barrel and full length magazine (18 round) which was reduced to 19" & 15 rounds in 1988. It also has the last shot hold open/bolt release (added in 1984).

I found a brass mag tube from a "Golden 50" model and a Boyd's walnut thumbhole stock, then installed a new Marlin logo butt plate on the stock. I replaced all the internals with new parts including an MCARBO spring kit. The trigger guard and adjustable trigger are from DIP. I added a new bolt, which I jeweled and a new stainless charging handle. The original barrel and parts were polished to a 3000 grit finish and reblued. The receiver was coated in graphite black Cerakote by the Cerakote King of Tacoma before having the engraving done by Hyperion Precision. Lastly I added a set of Williams Fire Sights.

I went shooting Sunday. I brought a #7 MK I Enfield .22 and M41B Swede sniper.
I had to re-zero the windage at 50 yds on the M41B because the last time I went out I adjusted the windage too much at 100 yds. There is no internal windage adjustment on the Ajack scope - you have to move the base left or right with screws and the adjustment is very sensitive.
After getting the windage pretty much set, I shot some groups around 2 ins., then I got lucky with a group under 1 in.
BTW, this was after moving back out to 100 yds.

Every time I see a thumbhole stock I think about Feinstein getting her granny pants in a wad and flipping out.

Nice 22.
