All Glenfield 60's are the old style, Marlin 60's prior to 1981 or 1982 are considered the old style. The Glenfield name was dropped in 1982, so any Marlin 60 after 1982 would be a new style. The feed ramp is a different design on the new style and around 1983 or 1984 the last shot hold open feature was added.
The Marlin 60 came out b4 the "Killer 10/22" and started life with 18 rounds - AND is more accurate. And costs less. And is now owned by Ruger, so likely will not appear.
I just purchased a new Model 60 (base model, wood stock, blued) last night after owning a 795 for about 8 years (pre-Remington). Love the 795 but I wanted another .22 to have fun with the kids (this ones mine!) and I wanted to try another Marlin. The build quality looks excellent on it but I don’t have an earlier model 60 to compare it to.
Just out of curiosity, is the receiver and barrel from a model 75? It's just that I've never seen a model 60 with a wrap around front site like that. The wood on the stock has really nice grain, I know that Marlin/Glenfield have had many variants over the years, but it doesn't look like the typical birch that are on so many.
I won this rifle at a DU Dinner ~ 15 years ago. It spent several years in the safe until I was teaching my son to shoot. I actually started him on a bolt-action first (my old Marlin 781) and then brought the Model 60 along on a subsequent range trip to introduce him to a semi-auto. After less than 50 rounds it started having problems with FTF/FTE.
My good ole Marlin has been jamming, bought it used and it jammed because it hadn't been cleaned in 30 years, cleaned her up and it worked great, until one time it starting jamming almost every round, casing would be turned butt out, blocking the next round from chambering, resulting in several minutes of having to take it apart or just wiggling the mangled case out, I guess the ejector wire ...
However, the mod. 60 is the only 22 rifle that I have right now and I have 1200 rounds of CCI Stingers stashed just in case. If the SHTF, I will certainly break it out of storage if needed. Psalm 33 - Psalms 150 - Psalms 25 - Isaiah 12 - Isaiah 45 - Ecc. 5:8-20
The Muzzlelite Bullpup stock for the Marlin Model 60 does this in a dramatic way. By relocating the trigger ahead of the action and almost under the barrel, the stock drops the overall length of a modified M60 from 37 -inches to 26 inches, shaving off almost a foot.

My 990 is a 1979 year production which does not have the last round bolt hold open feature. I've been looking around on the net toward questions of dry firing a Marlin namely the model 60. The 60 seems to be more commonly sold the most. My understanding is that the model 990 and the model 60 have virtually the same action.
