The Glenfield Model 10 delivers Marlin’s reliable bolt-action design in a simple, single-shot .22 S/L/LR package. Produced between 1966 and 1978, this economy-line rifle keeps core Marlin features like Micro-Groove rifling, a manual cocking knob, and a solid hardwood stock with the distinctive pressed squirrel medallion. Its 22-inch carbon-steel barrel, 1:16 RH twist, and adjustable open sights make it a straightforward plinker or training rifle with classic 1960s styling.

What’s Included
- Marlin Glenfield Model 10 bolt-action rifle (.22 S/L/LR)
Marlin built the Glenfield Model 10 as a no-nonsense, single-shot .22 S/L/LR aimed at first-time shooters and budget-minded buyers. The manual cocking knob adds an extra layer of safety by requiring the shooter to cock the firing pin after closing the bolt.
The 22-inch carbon-steel barrel uses Marlin’s Micro-Groove system with six shallow lands, promoting consistent accuracy with standard-velocity .22 LR loads. A 1:16 right-hand twist stabilizes the full range of typical .22 LR bullet weights.
Elevation-adjustable rear leaf and ramped front blade sights give a clear sight picture, while a factory scope mount groove offers the option to add optics without gunsmithing.
The hardwood stock retains its original pressed squirrel medallion, a hallmark of Glenfield-branded rifles sold through mass retailers in the late 1960s and 1970s. Length of pull measures 13.25 inches, suitable for most adult shooters.
With its pinned barrel-to-receiver construction, blued steel finish, and American manufacture, this Model 10 reflects a practical era of Marlin craftsmanship that remains desirable for simple target work or nostalgia-driven collecting.
