Bought this "Glenfield 30 at the pawn shop. It has a fancy stock obviously done by an amateur with a fancy blank the checkering has few runovers & is well done with 20 lines per inch. The barrel is 20" & the price included a Williams 5d peep, since the front doesn't have a ramp, I bet it shoots high. It shoulders like a Winchester 64. I don't know if I'll try to have the grip chap reshaped or not. Paid about the going price for a standard 336.

That's a nice one! I'm most fond of how bobbed magazines look and the stock is nice too.

IMO, the "amateur" did a pretty good job on what amounts to a 336SC Sporting Carbine.

If it were mine, I'm pretty sure I'd trash that accordian pad, & install a black rubber buttpad.

I had to install a higher front sight on mime - just be sure to order whatever height (about .500" IIRC) with the wide "W" base meant for mounting directly in a barrel dovetail, ILO the normal medium "M" base width neant for sight ramps.

IDK why the stocker installed that 1970 100th Anniv medallion in the stock - even IF thr gun dates from 1970. Oh, well...................

Thanks for your suggestions.. I plan to shoot the rifle next week with 150 gr bullets. I am 67 years old & the eyes aren't as good as they need to be for iron sites. If I can shoot a minute of Redfield target but high, I'll change out the front blade, if not I'll probably put a low power scope on it & use it a few times next deer season.. What kind of front site did you use?

Go to skinnersights .com and check out there sights.Andy is a great guy to deal with.
That's a fine looking rifle you got there.

Since I'm almost 70 years old myself, I use fiber optic front sights with receiver peep sights.

I really like the looks of your rifle.

Looks like a fun gun to me! Nice snag

My 68 year old eyes do good with firesights.I have one set up with a XS sight system.It is fast to acquire ,but I cannot do good groups beyond 50 yd s with it as the front sight blocks out too much of the target.
