Marlin Model 60SB

Well, this one isn't actually mine- I borrowed it from my dad and am going to replace the stock. It's a Marlin Model 60, a semi-auto .22LR rifle with a 14 round tubular magazine. I don't have any before pix with the broken wooden stock, but here is what it is going to look like after installing the new ATI "Dragunov" stock...

Pretty sweet, eh? I don't know if I'll put a scope on it, but you get the idea. It is stainless, though, which goes really well with the synthetic stock. It's a cool little rifle- a lot of fun to shoot, but aren't all semi-autos? My dad gave me a block of old GI standard issue .22 target rounds, so shooting it's more free than cheap. Way fun. I'll post some more on it later, after the new stock arrives.
