Making Of The Marlin Model 60
As its name suggests, the Marlin Model 60—also known as the Marlin Glenfield Model 60 for about two decades—made its appearance in 1960. Although, its history goes back slightly further. Essentially the same rifle hit the scene a year earlier. The Model 99 designed by Ewald Nichol flourished with a slew of variations over its production run.

- Capacity: 17
- Barrel Length: 22″
- The Marlin Model 60 was developed in 1960 from the Model 99 design. The primary difference was that the stock was made of birch instead of walnut to reduce the recurring production costs for the more expensive wood. Marlin also moved away from their practice of using steel inner tubes with their tubular magazine.
