WOW, that's that's one sexy 60!

I'm always on the hunt for cheap 18 round, LSHO, Model 60's that need a little love.
Their fun to resurrect and give to friends and family. And great shooters to boot.

You Sir, have set the bar with that one. :D
 
Wow... I really like that...! Model 60 Glenfield was my first semi... kind of fond of them. I have always liked the micro-groove barrels. More than just rim fire marketing hype. As long as I did my job that rifle shot really well.
 
Thanks, in case you weren't aware, I styled this after the 50th Anniversary Edition, here is a comparison of the two
