This Glenfield 30A features a 20" round steel barrel with Marlin’s Micro-Groove rifling, blued finish, and a .30-30 chambering that suits the rifle’s classic lever-action design. It uses right-side ejection and a right-side loading gate, feeding from a full-length tubular magazine with a 6+1 capacity.
Sighting options include a ramp front with bead and a semi-buckhorn adjustable rear leaf. The receiver is drilled and tapped, and this rifle is already set up with a one-piece receiver rail, rings, and a Marlin Model 400A 4x32 fixed-power scope installed.
The hardwood stock and fore-end carry pressed checkering with wildlife motifs, a pistol-grip profile, and sling swivel studs. A black checkered buttplate, fore-end cap, and a front barrel band add to the traditional Glenfield styling. Length of pull measures 13.1".
Production details consistent with the 1970s include the absence of a cross-bolt safety. The serial number is located on the upper tang behind the hammer. This rifle was made in the United States.
