I picked up the Marlin 60 today. Looks like its 12 years old since the first two digits in the serial are 97. Hmmm no wait... that would make this a 2003. Is that right?
Still all in all its clean and for $100 out the door I couldnt beat it.
In fact, I didnt even pay for it yet. Yes, thats the kind of relationship I have with my local gun purveyor.
Ill shoot it tonight and Im sure it will be just fine.
