Marlin Model 60 Recoil Spring

[blacklabel]

I bent the hell out of my recoil spring tonight while cleaning my rifle. Does anyone know of a place locally that would have one? I'm not keen on paying $6 in shipping for a $6 part.

I don't but I would suggest buying 2 unless you are a very careful person..

None local that I am aware of.

Got a pic of it, with a ruler next to it for size reference? I may have one laying around I could send you.

Anyone know if there is a difference in new model and old model M-60 spring?

when I kinked mine, I found some spring stock that was the right gauge and OD, and just cut it to fit. Its a little lighter than the original part, but I havent had a problem.

That is a common problem with those Rifles usually your average Gunsmith will have one handy. When I bent mine I went to a local smith and he had 3 of them.

I think I might just order 2 or 3. It was damn easy to kink.

Might as well have an extra on hand, just in case.

About the free one I was going to send you, I'll just keep it around, just in case.

I definitely appreciate the offer. I'll let you know if I manage to destroy the two that I order.

The first time a Marlin 60 is taking apart for cleaning it usually happens especially if you are not familiar with that fire arm, but it usually happens once. If you would like I could tell you how I assemble mine but BP would be the best person to get info from.
