My first Marlin 60

My reciever is painted not anodized. Yours must be painted too because anodizing does not flake. I did sand the paint off on the inside and polished where the contact points were. My bolt was crazy rough. Looked like a table saw top. Didn't bother me though as I love to tinker.
 
Same here. And that's interesting, mine doesn't look like paint but is sure doesn't seem anodized either. It already has a scratch by the ejection port from a spent shell scraping it.
 
Decided on a scope. This is a bush Legend HD 4.5-14x44 with multi x retical. Love this scope for target shooting. Took it off my 17hmr that I am selling. Can wait to get to the range.
Completely removed iron sights.

I called to order a new spring today, I was guessing that it would be $10 or so with shipping. I was explaining that my spring was too long and it was causing an issue, and she inturrupted me before I could tell her that I tried filing it down and ####ed it up, to asked me for my email address and she would send out a free replacement.

Remington manufactured the tube-fed 552 and 572 models for over 50 years.

Yes they did, I forgot about the speed/fieldmasters. In that case I have no reasonable explanation as to why Remington floats the barrels on marlins now. Maybe it works for other peoples guns, but mine's more accurate supported.
