How many serials are on this gun? There is one that I see, but I want to know whether or not it's been defaced?

Bridge hunting?
What's the best round to use on a bridge?

I'm not sure, but 9mm seems to be ineffective.

Glenfield? Very rare and potentially worth big bucks to a collector.
okay, maybe not, get rid of it.

Jeez, now people are chiming in that if the Police find your friends in possession of the rifle that they'll be arrested for some 20-years-unsolved murder.
As if some cop will walk through your front door, see the rusted out Marlin, and realize he's finally caught the Beanfield Bridge Killer! Twenty years of sleepless nights, a divorce, and five years without promotion. Justice is finally served!
Take it to a gun buyback program.

If the police don't want/need it, or give it back to you after awhile, or whatever, I'd call Marlin, see if they'll fix it up or replace it for you or something. Probably not free, but you might get a decent deal anyway.
Like Glocks, if you destroy the gun and void the warranty, Glock, Inc. will sell you a replacement at factory cost (which I believe is about $160, so the people that keep saying Glocks cost $50 to make are full of crap). In that case, it saves you enough money vs. buying retail that you're better off doing that than selling it at a gun buyback, assuming you want the same gun again. A cheap .22? Dunno, maybe.

take it to the police. it isn't worth crap to you, marlin is NOT going to give you a new gun for it, and it just MIGHT help them solve a twenty year old murder.
TAKE IT TO THE POLICE PLEASE.

Buyback. I would assume that they run the serial numbers of the guns that are turned in to see if they are stolen before they destroy them. To me the buyback IS turning it in to the police and getting some $ for your trouble.
well the reciever should be almunum and as a Police Officer I would suggest taking to the police department and under the treasure law the finder has a right to it have them run the serial number and if it is not stolen it should be your to keep if it is stolen you have not lost anything but a few min. of time and a little gas who knows it might be grandpa's ole 22 and was stolen years ago it dont look like much but if it was my grandfathers and it was stolen from me id want it back even in that bad of shape
if it isnt stolen do what ever the buy back or what you want with it the model 60 isnt my choice of a great 22 but thats my opion and i bought 1 at a garage sale for 30.00. sold it for 50.00 that is my 2 cents

Not to hijack the thread, but I found this one under the shed on the property of my newly-bought home not to long ago. I know the previous home owners were hunters and gun owners and had a teenage son, maybe he was trying to hide an oops from dad??

Yeah, I'm sure it's just covered in "evidence". Finger prints, rifling, firing pin, extractor, it's all just like it was the last time a little chunk of lead left the barrel.
The only possible thing is the serial # may be to a reported stolen gun, etc. Have the # checked, if not, do a buy back.

Found a .410 leaning next to a tree while quail hunting one year and a .30-.30 sitting next to a creek a few years later.
Youd be suprised the number of things that get bounced of atv's dropped while sliding down a hill etc..
In fact one guy i used to hunt with said a guy dropped a 1500 dollar pair of swarvoski binocs and a 454 casull when he slipped and slid down the side of a hill. They spent two days looking in the area and never found either.

Four of us were canoing down the Payette River fishing 20 some years ago and my uncles says "there's a gun on the bottom of the river"
We spent the next half hour or so chasing stuff down the river cause we all looked over the side at once and tipped he canoe over. I think we found everything except one oar.
Found the gun too it was a Winchester model 12 pump. All rusted shut and ruined. Well the Boise Cascade saw mill was still going back then and the uncle worked there, went to work and was telling the guys about the model 12 we found.
A guy come's up to him asking where and what and turns out he had lost the gun goose hunting the winter before in a boating accident.
HIs Insurance Company would not pay for the lost gun with out seeing it. ( insurance don't ask me why) Uncle gives the guy the gun he takes it in and gets a check.
Another fun memory.

Keeping it could be a crime in of itself. Some states (including my own) have a statute that makes the "misappropriation of found property" a misdemeanor. You basically can't just keep found stuff without trying to find the owner.
It's up to you, though. I'd turn it in.

I'd have never touched a worthless rusted out hunk of steel that once resembled a gun.

I'm suspicious of people who...
a. are too paranoid to bring home a rusted out hunting rifle they just found
and
b. don't trust the police to believe their first hand testimony.
Seem to have several of them types posting on this poll. Just silly.
I guess Spieler ought to take that muzzleloader straight to the FBI for forensic study. Never know when that blackpowder gun might have assassinated some small town mayor.
