Marlin Model 60 .22 Cal Rifle Questions & Answers
Serial # range for marlin model 60 with 18 shot tube and last shot bolt hold open
On Marlin-branded Model 60 rifles, the first two digits of the serial number indicate the year of manufacture. For example, if the serial number starts with 18... The 18 is significant, for subtracting it from 2000 gives the date of manufacture for the rifle, 1982. Likewise, a serial number starting with 17 would be a rifle manufactured in 1983.
This method has not been uniformly followed. It is valid only from 1971 through 1999. Prior to 1971, the first two digits indicated the year of manufacture. For example, a rifle with a serial number starting with 70... would have been made in 1970. Starting in 2000, this same old method has returned; the first two digits once more indicate the year of manufacture directly, with no subtraction required.

22 semi auto rifle jamming
Often with semi-automatic rim fire rifles, the most common cause of jams/failures to feed are related to improper cleaning. Most of these low-powered rifles utilize a blowback action to fire, and thus require a clean breech and chamber to provide proper obturation of the cartridge. Give your rifle a thorough cleaning, including a detail strip and clean. If you are experiencing other types of stoppages such as failures to extract or failure to feed, you may be experiencing a mechanical issue such as a worn extractor claw, or a weak magazine follower spring.

From 1962 thru 1968 Marlins rimfire rifles (other than the 39 series lever actions) used a two letter date code that was stamped on the barrel. This date code is different than the one already listed, as Marlin rimfire rifles (other than the model 39 series) did not have a serial numbers until required to by Law after 1968. The first letter of the date code represented the month of manufacture while the second letter indicated the year. This date code was usually stamped on the left side of the barrel just in front of the receiver.
