Why no aftermarket stuff for a marlin m60 ?
I see all kinds of aftermarket stuff for Rugar 10/22 but I haven't seen any for the Marlin M60. Why ? I had a bunch of Rugers and none of them shot very good. This 99.00 Walmart special shoots better than any .22 I used in my life(its been a long life) including Win. m52 Remington Speed master Winchester 77 and so on.

because the ruger 10/22 is used as the (basis for) small bore rifle for alot of teams, and they ahve sold, litterally, millions of them..

therefore the market for add-ons is large enought\

I have to ask; If it is the best shooter you have ever had why mess with it?.
Take Care!

Oh I don't really need anything, just wondering. Have you ever shot one ? Suprised the heck out of me. I had one of the bull bbl. jobs with a fiberglass stock and a clip. I didn't like the clip, right at the carry point. So I sold it and bought a cheapie and it too shoots great ! ( it weighed less than 5 lbs. loaded scoped and slinged) I won't say what kind of groups I'm getting at 25,50 and 75 yds as no one would beliebve me anyway.

I would guess that nobody makes accessories for them because they are pretyy much thought of as junk. Not trying to offend you just stating why I think you can't get accessories for them.

I've thought about offering a guitar shaped stock for these particular guns. As much as they like to jam, I figured musicians might be interested... Big Grin Hard luck, just keep it clean and lightly oiled, and DON'T be tempted into disassembling the trigger/feed throat assembly.

Malm hit the nail indirectly on the head; any fool can change parts on a 10/22 and usually it will still work. The Marlin wasn't designed with bubbas in mind. It is much harder to disassemble and reassemble correctly.

I always thought that it was because the damned things were JUNK! I've had the pleasure or rather displeasure of having 6 of those POS's go through my hands half of them brand spanking new and all of them made for a hard time hitting the broad side of a barn while standing inside of it!!!
