To be honest I was asking more for tips on taking care of the gun, I have never owned anything but pellet guns and similar but my father taught me to shoot on those from a young age and I was always taught to treat any gun in that manner.
So perhaps I should have been more clear. And I expected the snarky responses, because this is EC and that's what we do.
I will most definitely be taking a gun safety class anyway. Kermitov fucked around with this message on 12-26-2005 at 02:06 AM.
Get some gun lub, and make sure you use it.
I was serious about the silencer though. I'm getting one, but that's for a whole different reason.
Some images would be nice. but depending on the condition of the rifle you can either keep it in it's original condition or work on restoring it. The biggest concern I would have is the bore. Most older ammo was very corrosive so if it was not cleaned very well then the bore could be rusted and pitted. I had a Mauser I didn't clean well after shooting corrosive ammo through and in less than 2 months the barrel looked like a shotguns.
I would really like to see some images or at least get some more details about the gun.

THe Glenfield Model 75 is the predecessor of the Marlin Model 60 which is one of the best selling and most reliable .22 Caliber firearms on the market. Chances are that the gun is at least 60-70 years old. If I remember correctly they stopped making those in the 40s. Of course with Firearms, age does not mean they are inferior. You will find that barring any problems with the mechanics of the gun you have a strait shooting and reliable weapon.Some images would be nice. but depending on the condition of the rifle you can either keep it in it's original condition or work on restoring it.

Externally at least it looks to be in very good shape, I'll get some photos of it tomorrow. There are a couple gouges in the wood but nothing real bad and no rust at all on the outer surfaces.

You can make a silencer out of a two liter pop bottle and paper towels.

isnt a real silencer significantly smaller and more efficient than that?
Sure, the paper towels are going to absorb some sound like a kitchens cabinets do ambient noise, but its not going to work too well, right?
Some people are like Slinkys... Not really good for anything, But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

This one time, at Jackman camp:
isn't a silencer illegal?
Silencers are Class three which means they have a lot of restrictions. To purchase one you have to get the permission of your County Sheriff or other local law enforcement. After this you have to file paperwork with the ATF and pay a $200.00 tax stamp. THis takes a lot of time and involves a lot of paperwork overall. In addition you have to keep certain paperwork with you at all times and can not cross state lines with it unless you have explicit permission to do so.

Why would you want one in the first place? If noise is a concern, then why not just buy those big noise dampening ear muff things?

Kermitov had this to say about Optimus Prime:
So one of my christmas presents this year was a .22 rifle that belonged to my Grandfather. It's a Marlin Glenfield model 75 according to the stamping. It's been sitting for a really long time and my plan is to go and get it looked at/cleaned/repaired if necessary, before I try to shoot it. It's the first gun I've ever owned other than pellet guns and the like. Tips? Advice?
By a lock of some sort, a locked gun case is best, trigger lock next, I belive the worst to get is that cable through the barrel type. Then buy a lock box for the ammo.
Easy check to see if the gun was cleaned last, with the [bold]bolt open[/bold] and in good light look down the barrel, if you see any small speck or clumps, it needs to be cleaned. If you ever do this sort of inspection with the bolt closed, you are really dumb and deserve your fate. My old man and family always stored out rifles with the bolts opened, and since we came to NJ, we pulled them most of them out and locked them up, and most of the shot guns we store with the barrels off.
If it has been sitting a long time, might want to get a pro/gunsmith to check it out first.

Check on the lock of some sort.
I took it to a local place today and aside from one missing screw, which I ordered, and being badly in need of a cleaning the guy said it's in decent shape and should make a good reliable gun. I also purchased a cleaning kit.
Here are a couple photos:
I pulled out the cleaning kit this evening and brushed the barrell out and then swabbed it according to the instructions, the little patches came out pretty gunky at first but eventually cleared up. I don't have a manual or anything so I'm not sure how to take apart the mechanism at this point to clean it so I held off on that until my friend can come over and take a look at it.

I have been trying to find an old springfield rifle for a while now (my uncle used to have one, it was pretty neat, and I like old fashioned bolty operatey thingies), but no one around here sells any. Plus the ones online are something akin to fifty jillion dollars :x Where could I find one that will not cost an arm, a leg, and a boob?
I mostly want one because I would like to go hunting with my uncle sometime... I have never been, and it seems like it would be something fun to try :3 If only for the stomping around lost in the woods for a couple of days

I remember reading something about potatoes being used as cheap silencers a while back. Close range weapons only.

Now to make one of your own. Just google it and you will get flooded with 1 zillon ways to make one.
I have heard of this potatoe silencer also, also heard of a pillow as in many movies.
For the Original poster, I have a ruger 10/22 which I think looks similiar except mine is a magizine feed one. There are several modifications to this type available at any gun show.
Yes, you can google a zillion ways to make a silencer. Yes, they are illegal unless you have the proper license. Yes, they are even illegal to make, as once they are finished, they are in your possession.
When you apply for a silencer permit, (Or a class 3 in general), make sure you dont say the reason you need it is for "Target practice". A silencer will drop the accuracy of a weapon signifigantly over distance. Which means you would only need target practice to get good WITH a silenced weapon.
