Anybody have one of these critters marked with JM?

Try Marlinowners.com

Pretty sure that I do. I'll have to check to make sure

Mine is a 30AS

Jm stamped

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?

My Glenfield is stamped "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.

What's the difference Jayhawker? Any ideas?

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

Checked. Mine is stamped.

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.

The glenfield line was introduced so discount box store could sell economical Marlins but not under cut the small shops and stores handeling the Marlin line.
64 -65 the 36 G

66 - 72 the 30

73 - 83 the 30 A ( I have a 30A made in 71?)

79 -80 30 GT

83. 30 AS

5,930 total model 36 G s were manufactured.

Colonel Brophys book. Page 267

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.

Looks like 83 ?

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.

Really like the looks of the 2/3rds magazine!

......... So is my 30AS. Serial number indicates 1991 production.

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.

I have 2 mod 30's made in 1966, 30-30, and .35 rem. Both have the JM stamp on right side

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.

I'm going to sell mine if you're interested.

I don't see my 1964 36SC 30-30 listed.

An SC is a 336 not a Glenfield
