Modifying the firing mechanism of the Marlin Model 60 .22 LR rifle involves replacing or altering components to improve accuracy, reduce pull weight, and enhance the overall shooting experience. This often includes new springs, sears, and sometimes the entire trigger assembly. An example might be replacing the factory trigger with an aftermarket adjustable one, allowing for customization of pull weight and travel.
A refined firing mechanism can significantly impact a rifle’s performance. A lighter, crisper trigger pull can lead to increased accuracy by minimizing shooter-induced movement during firing. The Marlin 60, being a popular and affordable rifle, has a large aftermarket supporting various modifications, including those focused on improving the trigger. Historically, many shooters have sought ways to enhance the factory trigger, leading to a wide selection of available upgrades.
