What’s Included
- Marlin Glenfield Model 60 .22 LR semi-automatic rifle
The 22-inch Micro-Groove barrel delivers reliable rimfire accuracy while keeping weight manageable for plinking or small-game work. Marlin’s Micro-Groove rifling uses multiple shallow grooves to reduce fouling and enhance consistency with .22 LR ammunition.
A 15-round under-barrel tube magazine gives ample capacity without the need for detachable mags, staying flush with the fore-end for easy carry. The right-side charging handle and simple blowback action make operation straightforward and familiar to Model 60 fans.
The birch hardwood stock features a Monte Carlo comb, pressed checkering, and the distinctive squirrel motif—details unique to Glenfield-branded economy models of this era. Despite its budget origins, the stock remains sturdy and well-shaped for rimfire shooting.
Factory open sights consist of a ramp front blade and an adjustable step-elevator rear. An integral scope rail on the alloy receiver allows easy optic mounting without modifications.
With more than 11 million Model 60 rifles produced, this early full-length version stands out for its period-correct features and collectible Glenfield branding, presenting a practical shooter with classic 1970s character.
