Hello I'm new here. I joined a few years ago and haven't posted anything till now. I recently recieved a glenfield/ marlin model 60 as part of a trade from an older gentleman. This is my first rifle, I don't really know much about them. But it looked like it wasn't used much and seems in good shape at least to me. Anyway today I took it up to my uncles to try it out. I put about 5-6 rounds into it, and my uncle wanted to shoot it first so I left him. Well he pulled the charging handle back and left it snap back, he took aim and pulled the trigger "click" but no bang. He cycled the bolt again clicked and nothing, he cycled the bolt again and left it snap back then it fired. I don't believe he hit the trigger cause his hand wasn't near it, but it did eject the empty round. After that I took out the remaining rounds and put it back in the case. My uncle said it wasn't safe, but I'd like to know what would cause this, could it have just been a fluke. But regardless would a gunsmith charge a lot to look at it cause I realize these are fairly cheap and not worth sticking a lot on money into. Also please forgive my lack of proper terminology I'm more into Jeeps then guns
