The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Growing up in a small farm town I made a few really good friends, and one of my best friends lived out in the country with thousands of acres of woods out his back door & the town gun range next door. He had his own .22 rifle but I did not; & my dad would't let me borrow his. We were about 12 at the time & both proficient and safe with firearms.
Well my buddie's dad had an old Glenfield model 60 hanging on the wall in the garage & I got to use that for my woods carry gun & Squirrel exterminator. Many miles I carried that old Glenfield in the woods & shot many rounds through it. A lot of good memories, and I always wanted to get another someday...

A few weeks ago a friend says he wanted to get rid of his old Glenfield model 60. Seems it was failing to eject rounds, but otherwise shot fine & was in good shape. I asked what he wanted & the price was $75. Why not? So he dropped it off a week or so ago, we made the transaction & I got around to tinkering with it the other day. The ejector wire was pushed down & in so I adjusted it & took it to my Cousin's place up North yesterday.

Shot great, fed perfect & ejected every round without issue. May not be the same exact gun; But I got my old Squirrel gun back! I'm a happy guy.

Quite possibly the best semi auto .22 ever made!

Oh yea, I have the Marlin 60, and fixed a nice Glenfield for a friend of mine ten years back and it's still going strong.

Glad you got it. We need to get out to shoot it! I'm off Fri, Sat., & Sun......

I sort of have what I grew up with. My Dad had a Rem. 572 pump, shot many a rat at the dump up at the cabin with it. My son traded his 552 auto for my 10/22 a while back. Now I just need to find a K2.5 Weaver to top it.....

Nice old Glenfield. If it gives you any more eject issues, check on rimfire central for the "nickel trick". There is a way to adjust the ejector wire using a nickel as a gauge.

That's about what I did to adjust it... Spits them out very consistently.

I agree. I gave my son my 10/22 when I found a model 60.

I have a Glenfield 60 A Glenfield Diamond Jubilee 60 and two Marlin 60's all good shooters.

This is one I refinished

You'll have to bring the Model 60 with Sunday afternoon, Ron.

My first rifle also. Mine shot lots and lots of shells growing up. Many a tin or soda can died from the model 60.Had not thought much of it until I read this thread. Brings back lots of memories of me and my dad.
