What’s Included
- Marlin Glenfield Model 75 rifle
Produced with the serial prefix “26,” this 1974 example falls squarely within the Glenfield line’s 1967–1982 run, a period valued by collectors for its distinctive branding and budget-minded features that never compromised reliability.
The rifle feeds from a 9-round under-barrel tube magazine (9+1 total capacity) and cycles via a proven blowback action. A cross-bolt safety offers straightforward operation, while the steel barrel and aluminum alloy receiver keep overall weight to a handy 4.5 pounds.
Sighting options include a hooded ramped blade front and an elevator-adjustable rear leaf, backed by integral 3⁄8-inch dovetail grooves on the receiver for easy scope mounting. The silhouette echoes the M1 Carbine, giving the Model 75 a familiar, well-balanced feel.
The birch stock features a Monte Carlo comb, providing a comfortable cheek weld for both iron-sight and scoped shooting. With its 18-inch barrel, 13.5-inch length of pull, and roughly 37-inch overall length, the rifle remains compact for field carry or bench plinking.
