    So I install HVAC equipment for a living and Saturday I was working on some ductwork in an attic. As I climbed up into it I noticed a rifle sitting right by the access. Turns out it was an older Glenfield/Marlin model 60 with the squirrel engraved stock. When I got down I told the guy I would be interested in buying it if he wanted to sell. He says " yeah how does $20 sound." I didn't even think twice and no I've got an old model 60 in the collection. Needs cleaned up and new screws for the trigger assembly, but never thought I'd be the guy that would come across a deal like this!

    Before anybody else says it

    I want to be the first to point out that you don't have enough posts on INGO to buy a gun. Therefore, you must turn it over to me. Being the good guy I am, I'll even give you a $5 profit.

    Seriously, nice find! :D

    Congratulations on a nice find. My Grandfather and Uncles were/are electricians in Vermont. They have found all kinds of interesting things hidden in walls and attics, but I don't think they have found any guns.

    Is the squirrel stock special? If so, I better start taking better care of of mine. It's been my beater gun for 25 years.

    Can we ban krum? He already is proving to be a troll, one liners or garbage like that is all he's posting, and to actually add to the post, it would be great to find somethin like that squirreled away, lol, the only thing I've come close to finding is a 1976 bicentennial nylon 66 that is my dads that was tucked away in the garage broken, I found it cleaned it and fixed it then he takes it back

    Wow. How did you "dispose" of the grenade?


    Also totally jealous of the Model 60 score. They are great rifles. I've thought about getting dupes when I see them $75, at $20 you don't even have to think about it.

    Yeah, I didn't think about it at all! I kind of felt bad actually, I was going to offer $50, but he hit me with the $20 first.
