Just bought a new (old) Marlin 60 .22, in Glenfield trim. Any advice on what and how much lube these like on their parts, and what ammo (SV vs mini-mag) typically cycles best?

Is this an extractor problem? I've never had a failure like this with any gun.I have found that CCI works the most consistently in my Marlin 60's. But I have also learned to take a leatherman or pair of needle nose pliers with me when I go shooting. When they jam up, it's nearly impossible to get the shell out without a pair of needle nose pliers. If all you have is a pocket knife, you will definitely ruin the blade trying to pry that shell out of there.
The parts of the bolt and receiver exposed to hot gas should be left clean and dry - do not lube those parts. Oil the other parts of the bolt and receiver with a long term, non gumming lube like name-branded gun oil or Mobil One."Hot gas clean?" Otherwise, I'm with you.
This is pretty much all I do on mine for the 30years.my brother in law had a model 60 that wouldn't cycle right.I took it home , removed the stock and blasted the action with Gun Scrubber and compressed air a few times. I think it had been lubed with 90 weight gear oil. anyway after a light relube it now runs like a champ . hdbiker
