Marlin Model 60 Tubel assembly

[syco]

Somehow lost the tube assembly from my Marlin Model 60 last time I was out hunting. I've found a few places that sell replacements for ~$25 but there are different types of Model 60. How would I know for sure I'm ordering the right part? Would Marlin be able to confirm based on the serial number or does anyone know how to measure the gun to get the right tube assembly? Sorry if this sounds dumb but I'm still a relative noob to guns.

I think there are only two possibilities:
Older Model 60's were 17 round magazines and newer are 14 round magazine.

If your Marlin Model 60 holds 14, get the 17" inner tube.
If it hold 17, get the 22" inner tube.

Mine holds 14 so I'll order the 17" tube assy.

Thanks for the help!

Measure the outer tube length. The 17 rd will stick out too far from the end of the outer tube if your rifle only holds 14.
