I have a grooved receiver, not tapped, and brass mag tube, which matches the description of the 60. I suspect Western Auto just went cheap on the stock. I have a birch stock but it doesn't match the ones pictured. Its tube magazine was a significant innovation at the time for a semi-automatic 22 rifle, as it featured a brass inner magazine tube.' 'The primary difference was that the stock was of birch instead of walnut, to reduce the recurring production cost. 'The Model 99 featured a walnut stock, and the receiver, instead of being grooved like the Model 60 would be, was factory-tapped to accept a scope.' So my Revelation is actually a rebranded Marlin.

Here's an instruction manual that may help too. Take a look at this link, page 309, and see if your rifle looks like any of these. There's nothing short of replacing the trigger guard that will resolve this problem permanently. You have temporarily fixed it as best you can, the only thing I'd do different is use JB Weld instead of the Super Glue Gel.

I've seen many of these cracked identically to yours - That was my first clue as to your parts source. That trigger guard is made out of pot metal.

Here's a parts link for the old style Model 60 old M-60 parts There should be many parts out there for your WA 120 rifle because this model and it's sister models was sold under many brand names. The Marlin Model 99 is the forerunner to the Marlin Model 60 - the most popular rifle ever sold. Looking at the cross-reference list, your Western Auto Model 120 rifle is a sister to the Marlin Model 99. The different WA model rifles were actually made by several major firearms manufacturers, like Mossberg, Marlin, Ithaca, or Stevens, all I have to do is find the one that matches yours and you may be able to use the parts from the sister model rifle from the main manufacturer. The 'Western Auto Revelation' rifles are just a brand name for an Auto Parts chain in the mid-west that used to sell these in their stores. Looking at the problem you've described on this rifle, I've seen this before (see my below comments on your rifle). Would you post a picture of the whole rifle. The rifle is currently fuctional, but the trigger is held in place by only the single remaining good screw. After setting the opening looks like this: I smeared the screws with grease to keep the epoxy from sticking, and loosely screwed them in. I pushed blobs of epoxy putty up into the vacant spaces from the bottom, then put more plastic wrap over it and pushed the trigger assembly into place to what looked like the proper position. I put a layer of saran wrap between the receiver and the stock and put it in place. I have rebuilt the interior of the stock using an epoxy putty. The front mounting screw hole for the trigger assy is also broken so that the head of the screw passes through freely: Currently, it is stuck together with super glue gel. The trigger assembly is broken between the two rear screw holes.

I don't expect anyone to know of a replacement part for something this old (although it would certainly be nice.) but am open to any suggestions as to how to easily repair it better that I already have. At some point, someone cranked down the screws on the trigger assembly enough to break it. It looks like the stock was very cheaply manufactured, with a lot of extra room that shouldn't be there for the receiver and trigger assembly. It outshoots modern off-the-shelf 10/22 and Remington 597 by good bit, so I thought this old pea shooter would be worth repairing.
