so i am mowing the lawn at my dads house 8 years ago and the guy next door hands me a box with some gun parts in it . here
he tells me you like this stuff [he is a machinist at a job shop] they fired a guy at his work and he was cleaning up his area
and found some gun parts [marlin mod 60 ] so in the box was a rec. , bolt assy w/ cocking handle and recoil spring assy. , mag
tube inner and outer and this new 18-1/2" x 1-1/16" stainless steel barrel blank along with a recite from brownells he got the
barrel from them along with a 22 rf cambering reamer [the reamer was no were to be found bummer ] so i was looking at these
parts thinking how and the hell am i going to make that mag tube work i don't want to mill a slot on the under side of the barrel
so the tube will fit that would be dime bag so like most things i put it on the back burner [way back] then one day i was looking
at a bunch of marlin parts and there was a papoose parts kit for sale the rec. was gone along with the barrel the stock had
been cut at the pistol grip and there was no mag. but there was every thing i needed to get things going and being i don't
like the 3/8" tip off rings on an aluminum rec.i used a counter lever scope bases. at first all i had was the cut off stock to use
but about a mouth ago i was digging around and and found a clip mag type stock in my junk so the other day i took it to the
shop and with a 1/2" ball mill hogged it out to aprox size then with some lamp black a 3/4" gun line barrel bedding tool and
some 80 grit paper wrapped around a socket i got it bedded to were i wanted it and that's one more done only 20 or so to go
