Marlin Firearms Glenfield Model 60

The Marlin Glenfield Model 60 was a redesigned famous Marlin Model 60. This semiautomatic .22LR rifle was made under the Glenfield brand from 1966 to 1982. The Glenfield Model 60 had a hardwood stock instead of a walnut stock as on the Marlin Model 60. The Model 60 is well-suited for small-game hunting and vermin control, as well as for serious but low-cost target practice while preparing for hunting with larger rifles. It is a very precise rifle because it utilizes Marlin's trademarked Micro-Groove rifling technology. The Glenfield brand of guns was made by Marlin in the late 1950's in order to provide large retail stores of that time such as SEARS, Walmart, TG&Y, Western Auto, K-Mart with cheaper versions of Marlin guns. Big retail stores demanded cheaper guns from manufacturers. Marlin made cheaper versions of it's standard models and delivered them under the Glenfield brand as not to compete with it's own Marlin guns in small gun shops across America. To be able to offer Glenfield guns at a lower price, Marlin used many small cost-saving measures on these guns. A cheaper stock wood, no checkering, fixed sights instead of adjustable sights and other cost-saving techniques were used. Parts of Glenfield and Marlin guns are almost universally interchangeable. To determine when your rifle was made, take the first two numbers of it's serial nuber and deduct it from 2000. If the first two numbers of the serial number are for example 30, then your rifle was made in 1970 (2000-30=1970).
