Another Marlin model 60 problem - Page 2 - The Firearms Forum

I think I will take it apart again and get some WD-40 to try. The last time I had it apart, I bent the recoil spring a little, which was annoying but it still works fine. Difficult to get that back in. I plan to refinish the stock because it's chipping, and I think those squirrels would look so much better with Tru-Oil on them anyway. We'll see what happens, if I don't get better behavior out of it, it's definitely getting traded off in the spring, it's the only gun I have that I am not really attached to.
