Built in North Haven, Connecticut, this Glenfield-branded Model 60 carries the barrel rollmark reading: "GLENFIELD MOD. 60 THE MARLIN FIREARMS CO. CAL 22 L.R. ONLY NORTH HAVEN CONN. U.S.A." Serial-number dating indicates 1978 manufacture.
The rifle uses a semi-automatic blowback action with a right-side charging handle. Its early-pattern 22 inch steel barrel and 18-round fixed tubular magazine define this period of Model 60 production and offer classic .22 LR capacity and handling.
Open sights include a ramped front and an adjustable rear barrel sight for precise elevation and windage tuning. The receiver has integral 3/8 inch rimfire dovetail grooves, and this example has tip-off rings installed with a scope mounted.
The hardwood stock adds traditional appeal with pressed checkering and the distinctive Glenfield squirrel motif. The 13.5 inch length of pull and blued metalwork round out a configuration that reflects the period features collectors and shooters look for in these rifles.
Marlin’s Micro-Groove rifling is typical of Model 60 barrels from this era, complementing the clean bore condition noted above.
