What’s Included
- Marlin Glenfield Model 10 .22 S/L/LR bolt-action single-shot rifle
Designed and produced by Marlin for department-store sale, the Glenfield Model 10 is the store-brand counterpart to the Marlin Model 101. These rifles were distributed through retailers such as Kmart, Montgomery Ward, Sears, J.C. Penney, and Wal-Mart, offering Marlin quality under the Glenfield label.
This example was manufactured in 1978 in the United States and carries the JM proof mark on the barrel. It is chambered for .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle, and uses a simple single-shot configuration with a 1-round capacity.
The 22 in blued, round-profile barrel features Micro-Groove rifling and a chamfered crown. Sighting is handled by a blade front on a pedestal/ramp and an open rear leaf with an elevator, providing a straightforward, traditional sight picture.
The action is a bolt-action, single-shot design with an open top/right loading port and a rear T-shaped cocking piece. The receiver top lacks integral scope grooves, reflecting the rifle’s straightforward, iron-sight setup.
The hardwood pistol-grip stock includes pressed decorative panels, the Glenfield squirrel-in-shield motif, and a hard-plastic buttplate. Length of pull measures 12.8 in, and the metalwork wears a blued finish that complements the classic Glenfield aesthetic.
