The barrel carries the original rollmark: "GLENFIELD MOD. 60 THE MARLIN FIREARMS CO. CAL 22 L.R. ONLY NORTH HAVEN, CONN. U.S.A." This example uses the long-tube format with a 22 in barrel and a stated 18+1 capacity, pairing classic Marlin blowback operation with a high-capacity tubular magazine for extended rimfire shooting.
The receiver is cut with 3/8 in tip-off grooves and wears a Bushnell Sportview 4x scope in rimfire rings. The scope’s reticle provides a clean, unobstructed sight picture and complements the rifle’s .22 LR role.
The hardwood stock is Monte Carlo-style with pressed checkering and a checkered buttplate, giving a solid shoulder fit and positive handling. The factory-pressed squirrel-in-shield at the wrist is a signature Glenfield detail that collectors and shooters alike recognize.
Construction is straightforward and durable, with a steel barrel and blued finish. The tubular magazine features a removable brass-colored inner magazine tube (insert) with a knurled end-cap. Length of pull measures 14.0 in, and the rifle is full-size, offering a traditional feel and balance.
Manufactured in the United States by Marlin Firearms Co., this Glenfield Model 60 reflects the period’s design cues and production quality, with the serial prefix 20 identifying its 1980 manufacture date.
