My BIL gave me an old Glenfield Model 60 that did not work quite right. It did not cycle and would not load the last round. I found that the magazine follower tip had broken so I bought one from Numrich (actually took a couple of tries and over the years they changed, but I finally got the right one!) for about $15. I took it apart to clean and found a buildup of powder residue on the action. Took about 10 minutes of good scrubbing and a little oil and now it works great! It was fun to bring a gun back from the brink.
