The Glenfield Model 30A is the value-line variant of the Marlin 336 pattern, offering the same core lever-action design in a straightforward package. This example was manufactured in 1974 in North Haven, Connecticut, and retains the solid-top, side-eject receiver configuration that facilitates scope use and easy ejection.
It wears a 20" carbine-length carbon steel barrel with a blued finish and feeds from a full-length tubular magazine with a 5+1 capacity. The hardwood stock and matching handguard are stained and feature pressed checkering with decorative wildlife and leaf motifs. Length of pull measures 13.5" and the buttplate is black.
Sighting equipment includes a ramped bead front and an adjustable rear sight on a stepped elevator; the front sight hood is not installed. The receiver is drilled and tapped for optics, and this rifle comes fitted with a Glenfield 4x32 fixed-power scope using two-piece bases and rings, providing a clear crosshair reticle for immediate use.
Additional period-correct details include the tang-placed serial number location and the dependable lever-action mechanism. The configuration reflects the practical carbine format favored for .30-30 field use in the 1970s, with features that remain appealing for shooters who prefer classic handling and straightforward operation.
