What’s Included
- Marlin Glenfield Model 60 .22 LR semi-automatic rifle with built-in 18-round tubular magazine
The 22-inch blued carbon-steel barrel uses Marlin’s Micro-Groove system with 16 shallow lands, giving the rifle a reputation for consistent rimfire accuracy. The JM proof indicates manufacture at Marlin’s North Haven, Connecticut plant.
As a pre-1983 Model 60, it retains the original 18-round tubular magazine—three rounds more than later versions—offering extended shooting sessions between reloads.
The hardwood Monte Carlo stock features pressed checkering and the signature squirrel-in-shield engraving that identifies the Glenfield economy line. A high-gloss stain contrasts nicely with the matte black anodized alloy receiver.
Open iron sights include a ramp front (hood removed) and an elevator-adjustable rear. The receiver is factory grooved at 3/8 inch (11 mm) for tip-off scope rings, giving flexibility for optics without additional gunsmithing.
A simple blowback action, cross-bolt safety, and lightweight alloy frame have helped make the Model 60 one of the best-selling rimfire rifles ever produced, with over 11 million units in circulation.
