Glenfield is the "second" brand of Marlin. Less expensive, plainer finish, still very good quality.
My Glenfield Model 25 has a micro-groove barrel,so I imagine others do as well.
This is just a matter of opinion. In fact Diana has made some of the RWS rifles in the past. Overall both lines of rifles are about the same. If you are going to compare rifles then select a particular model from each manufacture then compare the qualities of each.This is just a matter of opinion.

Your Glenfield Model 25 is actually a Marlin Model 80 with sling swivels. According to leverguns.com Forums all of the Glenfield rifles were numbered right along with the Marlines. According to http://armscollectors.com/sn/marlinlookup.php your rifle was manufactured in 1973.
Glenfield Marlin Model 25 rifles were patterned after the Marlin 80C and Marlin 780 rifles. The Glenfield name was added for sales to coast-to-coast chain-stores versus stores that were specific Marlin dealer stores. The Glenfield 25 was manufactured from 1979 through 1982 according to Brophy. Others would suggest the Marlin Glenfield 25 was produced from 1972-1982. Regardless, the Glenfield name was dropped in 1983. The rifle continued as the Marlin Model 25 until 2003, which then became the Marlin 925. Differences between the Marlin and Glenfied were purely cosmestic i.e. birch stocks instead of walnut stock, different trigger guards, and triggers (black instead of gold colored). It is still being produced in .22LR (Marlin 925) and .22 Magnum (Marlin 925M) versions today. Most parts between the Glenfield 25 and Marlin 780 will interchange with no problem. Some of the Glenfield 20 and 25 will interchange as well. However, not all late model parts between the Marlin 780 and Marlin 80 will interchange with those models made in the pre-70s.
With no serial number provided,I cannot determine the age of your Glenfield model 60 semi-auto .22cal rifle.The value of these rimfire rifles is between 60-110 dollars.
It may not have one. Serial numbers were not required by law on rifles and shotguns until 1968.
Just fine.
Glenfield rifles were usually the hardwood stocked lower-priced Marlin rifles sold at Sears, Western Auto, K-Mart, etc... in the 50's and 60's. Value of your specific rifle all depends upon what year, condition, accessories, etc... For more information on the rifle see... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlin_Model_60
SOME parts are available from Numrich (check their website under gunpartscorp) Be advised there is an old and a new model- if in doubt, email them and check. Also SOME parts may be available from Marlin Firearms, the maker of Glenfield rifles.
To determine the age of a Glenfield Model 35 rifle with a serial number starting with "AC," you can refer to the serial number charts specific to Glenfield or Marlin firearms, as Glenfield was a subsidiary of Marlin. Generally, Glenfield rifles manufactured in the 1970s often have serial numbers that begin with "A," and the "C" may indicate a production year around 1972 to 1973. For the most accurate dating, consult resources or forums specializing in vintage firearms or reach out to Marlin's customer service.
