I picked up a Glenfield (Marlin) model 60 from my buddy. He can't get it to fire or cycle. So I'm going to clean and check it out. I see this link about the nickel trick to adjust the ejector wire properly: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbKR0xCOa2Q
Gonna try that out and see what happens. Anybody been down this road before? Any other thoughts and feedback for what I should check would be appreciated.

My son's M60 feeds and functions great so I have never had to mess with it. When I got it for him the action was sluggish so I tore it apart and cleaned all the gunk form it, oiled it and it has not given us a problem.
I would do that and see if it fires before messing with ejectors. Does it feed from the mag OK? I would pull a bullet from a round and see if it fires or put a fired round in an see if the firing pins dents the rim.
There is a ton of parts on eBay for the M60.
