What's Included
- Marlin Glenfield Model 30A .30-30 lever-action rifle
Built on the Marlin 336 pattern, the Glenfield 30A uses a solid-top, side-eject receiver with an exposed hammer and a right-side loading gate. This configuration maintains classic handling while accommodating easy ejection and loading. As a Glenfield-series rifle, it delivers the core features of the platform in a straightforward, value-focused package.
The 20-inch round blued barrel is paired with a full-length tubular magazine secured by a single forward barrel band at the muzzle and a fore-end nose cap with a bottom screw, providing a stated 6-round capacity in .30-30. The blued finish complements the traditional lever-action profile while keeping the rifle’s lines clean and functional.
Open sights include a ramp front and an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear on a stepped elevator, giving a clear, period-correct sight picture. These factory sights match the rifle’s intended use and era.
The two-piece hardwood stock features pressed decorative basketweave and oak-leaf panels with pressed checkering, a pistol-grip with a straight comb, and a black hard buttplate. A rear sling swivel stud is installed, and the length of pull measures 13.25 in.
Markings include a barrel rollmark identifying the model and caliber as GLENFIELD MOD. 30A CAL. 30-30 WIN. This rifle was produced in the United States during the 1970s and reflects the Glenfield series characteristics from that period.
