I have one, I think it's marked as a Marlin 30-G Glenfield with the 2/3 magazine.. Sweet rifle and an inch shooter most of the time from 130 grain Speer to 170 gr core-lokts.

Don't all of the Marlin, Glenfield, and house brand firearms made by Marlin in North Haven, CT, have the barrels stamped with JM?

I have a Glenfield 30A. Where would the stamp be located?

Great lever gun regardless. Just out of curiousity, why are you asking?

Jm stamp is usually on the left side of the barrel, right in front of the receiver

My Glenfield 35Rem has the JM. Pretty sure it was made in 1967.

Colonel brophys book describes them.

The first glenfield there were less than 6 or 7 thousand made.

One sold on gunbroker less than a month ago. I agree about the triggers. I will write more about them when I get my book in front of me.

So when did the Glenfield/Western Auto etc. labeling cease? I figure they stopped in the mid 80's, but
always wondered about the cut off.

Any info on the .35 Rems? I've only seen 2.
Also, mine has the JM stamp on the right side. I haven't seen that. Is that common?

Am fond of my little Glenfield 30-30. Shoots great. I've got an older 3x Leupold on it now, but the Williams receiver sight worked fine too. JM stamped of course.

bought a 30 new in 66. sold it for diapers in 70. got a AS in 84-85.
first time out i jumped a buck riding a doe. about bent the trigger trying to make it fire. finally remembered the cross safety. got the buck running away.

The main difference in the Glenfield variants of the 336 were stained birched stocks which usually had impressed checkering, and cheaper and simpler sights.

Often, instead of impressed checkering they used deeply embossed animal images in the grip area, which were, frankly, kind of tacky, but somehow appealing. Kind of like a .22 rifle of the 60s era.

As well, the ramp front sight was replaced with a dovetailed gold bead type. Just as good, and maybe better. The rear sight was an all-stamped steel open sight, as used on .22 rifles.

The changes did not affect their quality, strength, or accuracy.
And, I actually liked the sights and the stocks.

I never have been around a 35 R.E.M. Glenfield.

That would be very cool.

whenever i hear the term "truck gun" the Glenfield comes to mind. i carried one in my truck for years. someone decided they wanted my truck and got the Glenfield as a bonus. it went to Mexico i am pretty sure.just another treinta-treinta.

An SC is a 336 not a Glenfield
