Glenfield 75C by Marlin

I bought this lightly used Glenfield Model 75C Carbine a long time ago. It was made by The Marlin Firearms Company in 1981. I used it to teach my sons and grandson the basics of safe shooting - an important life lesson for every young man. I've seen a few variations of this rifle over the years, so I wanted to share it with those who may be collecting old Marlin 22's. - Clay.

Super sweet little rifle

[@claypotter381]

Thanks! I like it enough that I'm looking for a 2nd one. I need to take it back to the range and do more target work. It's not making groups as tight as it should - even from a bench rest. Some day I'll post a follow-up.

That's a unique little rifle. Interesting stock. I'm sure it's a great shooter. Thanks for sharing.😊

Thanks! It's a really fun rifle to shoot. I envy your level of marksmanship - especially off-hand with iron sights! Maybe it's time to take my Glenfield back to the range and dial in the scope. Here in Maryland, squirrel season opens this Saturday! Regards - Clay.

Difference between model 60 and model 75c

[@claypotter381]

The biggest difference is the barrel length. The Model 60 barrel (rifle) from that time period is 22" long, the Model 75C barrel (carbine) is 18" long. The magazine tube is the length of the barrel in both guns - so the Model 60 holds more rounds. In later years the 75C and 75 were discontinued. The Model 60 was given a shorter barrel (maybe 20?) and an even shorter magazine tube. There are lots of variations out there. - Clay.
