Marlin Glenfield mdl 75 score

That should be cleaning out

Welcome to the forum Tim! When you get your rifle all cleaned up, post some pictures!

Are you still having problems with .22 bullets?

You can find them, but it depends what your willing to pay. Just at the gun shop, all they had were match grade at $8.99 for a 50 box. I just can't make myself spent that for them. You never see them at Wal Mart. I'll wait, the price eventually will come back down & they will be everywhere again.

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!

Good find. You never know where the grand folks stashed stuff. The Attic under the insulation pad was a small metal box which had nothing in it.
But it did have something in it at one time.

Tim; Welcome to the Marlin Forum.
That sir, is a nice rifle. I'm envious. I've been keeping my eyes open for one of those or a Marlin 99-M1.
Should give you many years of enjoyment.

I think I'm naming the Marlin Bob Marley, cos we be jammin! Only got about 10 shots off, wouldn't feed, 2 shots in a row was the best it would do. Then the lift-feed lever spring edge got caught under the breech bolt & jammed it. Took it apart, straightened the spring, polished up everything & I'll try it again one night after work. Could have been the ammo, I was trying Federal, just lead tip, no copper coating, I have some winchester I'll try in it this week. Though the spring looks & operates ok, I'm going to order a new one today in case I have another problem, I checked the serial number & found out it's from 1974.

I picked up a Glenfield 75 yesterday, 90 bucks. Pawn shop find. I thought it was a Marlin 99 m1 at first. I own 2 already, so that is what I thought it was.

Those H&R Singles are a solid ole workhorse. Years ago, I loved to hunt Doves with a 410 single.
I bought one a few years ago and gave it to a widow lady friend of ours. She lives alone along one of the state highways near here and felt insecure. She had zero experience with firearms and was babysitting to supplement her income, so there were children in the picture. I bought a box of shot shells and gave her a firearm safety course. Then I gave her a box of Federal Hand Gun Loads (000 Buck) and told her that I hoped she never needed to use them. The idea behind my choice was; reliable, simple, ease of use, little to no recoil, could be safely secured and adequate for the purpose.

Very nice collection! I frequent the pawn shops myself.

Very nice indeed. Thanks for sharing the picture.
