Marlin 60 Refinishing
Just picked up a Marlin 60 off a fellow INGOer this past week. I have decided to refinish the stock. After taking it apart, I have figured out two things so far. It was manufactured in 1988, and the trigger guard assembly will need to be replaced. After taking it out I saw that it was cracked and I have it glued back together for now. I have a few questions regarding the replacement part.
Does anyone know the easiest way to determine if this is an older or newer style model? I do not want to buy the wrong replacement part. If possilbe, I would like to replace it with a metal trigger assembly. It does have the last shot hold open with the release lever by the trigger.
Have begun working on sanding the stock to redo it, but am wodering can anyone recommend a finish remover? Sanding will be time consuming.
Thanks for any help!
