A Glenfield Model 25 - was just sitting there on the shelf collecting dust... ok, the bolt is missing... but for $40!!! :neener: I can find a bolt for it. The bore is clean and smooth and flawless... I think I might sand it down and give it a new coat of laquer while waiting to find a bolt...

Anyone know how to figure out what year this one is?

Well, it's confirmed it was born in 1976.

Is there any way to get a good pic of the bore on this thing??

Now, if I could find a bolt for it... e-gunparts is out of stock... :(
 
I can't really tell from the closeup pic from the top of the receiver and the rear sight, but it looks like you also are missing the rear site elevation insert. I would check Brownells for the rear site elevation insert if you don't have it. I doubt they would have a bolt, but it's worth a look see.
 
The rear site elevation is in the drawer... LOL, I was test fitting a 4x scope and needed to slide it out... :)

The bolt cost + the rifle cost is still lower than most of these I find around here... Thanks for the lead!!!! :)
 
shelprok I just picked up one off a friend today. but mine is a marlin model 100
trying to find some info on it such as do you have to pull the cocking knob or is the bolt body suppose to do that?? Thanks
 
so, I thought the Glenfield 25 was the same as the Marlin 25, just some minor difference is stock, finish, and/or checkering, but I see looking it up, that the Glenfield 25 is a .22lr. I have a Marlin 25, but its .22wmr. Am I thinking of something else, or whats the deal here? ause other than the color/finish, that sure looks like my Marlin....

am I thinking of the Marlin model 60/Glenfield model 60 .22lr 's?
I coulda sworn that both models were available from Marlin and Glenfied, and were pretty much the same....
 
refinished... :neener:

find the oldest gunsmith in your area. that would probably be your best chance of finding a bolt. the old guys NEVER throw anything away! i think that is part of why they are sucessful. if you find one, it may be a little messed up (bent handle, scratched quite bad) but at least you could shoot it. there is also a guy on ebay that sells gun parts, (miga i think that is part of why they are sucessful. there is also a guy on ebay that sells gun parts, miga569 (miga gun parts) is his user name. i bought an extractor for my anicient mossberg 151m from him.
 
Be very careful with it. I've got a Marlin 15, which I think is the same thing, and I guess in about 86 they changed some things around and prechange parts are almost impossible to find. Its been at the gunsmiths' for over a month because the ejector is broken and no one has any.

:scrutiny:

Then you, my good sir, need to find a new gunsmith. A decent smith should be able to make you a new ejector in less than an hour.
 
Then in that case does anyone know a good smith in the Tucson area? Right now it's at Second Amendment, but before that I took it to another shop who had it for two weeks and it hadn't even been looked at.
ETA: I tried finding the part myself, but Marlin is out of stock and said the one listed on Brownells is not the right one.
 
Congrads on securing the bolt for your rifle on Gunbroker!

Let us know how it works!!

Thank you!!! :) was sweating the last hour... cuz I generally have borrible luck with auctions...


Range report will follow as soon as I am able...

This rifle looks real solid, the extractor seems solid also.. the bore is nice and shiny with good rifling. If this one is anything like the one I lost in a house fire a few years ago, It will be worth every dollar... I love these old Glenfields...

The refinish came out better than I thought it would too... :)
