My first gun purchased was a Marlin 60. I shot it well over 10000 time the first 2 years with out cleaning it.
Dumb. (My brother and I would buy 2000 rounds of ammo and rapid fire them all in one day!)
It started to stick and when I took it to a gunsmith he called me stupid and sent me home. I tried to clean it and bent the spring. After replacing it and having my brother reclean it it shot okay but was never the same. I bought another one with the first as a trade after she started acting up again. Just worn out is what the guy I sold it to said. He parted it out then.
Wish I still had her for sentimental reasons.
