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.

I do. Cant remember what configuration it is. I think it was a full length barrel with full tube. Cleanest lever trigger I have.

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

I have a 30A and a 30AS. Both are fine shooters.

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

The 30AS has the cross bolt safety.

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.

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?
