I have an old Marlin 60 from my Father in Law. He never shot it and it sat in a closet for 30 years. Tried to shoot it and it jammed miserably. The action was stiff and gritty, so I took apart the trigger pack (which is to me a very complicated component compared to e.g. a 10/22) and cleaned it up and lubricated it.
Well now it cycles fairly well with an occasional FTF. But the trigger will only reset if I pull the bolt back manually.
Is this due to the ammo being too soft (i.e., bolt does not go back far enough to reset the trigger)? This was yesterday and it was fairly cold and blustery which may not have helped. I am about ready to say screw this and buy a new trigger pack from Midway.
