Around $75.
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.
The Glenfield 75c .22 long rifle is a fine rifle. simple, short, with a squirrel on the handle if you are lucky. they retail used in gun shops (2008) for around $100. I purchased mine in Oregon for $99. The shop had the Glenfield 75, with the longer barrel for $89. I prefer the shorter barrel of the model c, it feels really ballanced and is great for woodland hunting. -whooise
Oh, what a lovely question! Just like painting a happy little tree, determining the age of a firearm can be quite a joy. Based on the serial number you've shared, this Marlin Glenfield Model 30A was likely manufactured around the year 1972. Isn't it fascinating how each piece has its own unique story to tell?
My wife received one of these Glenfield Model 60s new around 1974 plus or minus a year. It has a serial number 23XXXXXX. A serial number of 23XXXXX would have been manufactured in 1977. To figure out the Mod. 60 Glenfield/Marlin is to subtract the first two numbers from 2000. For example, my rifle with the squirrel on the butt is serial # 22XXXXXXX therefore it is made in 1978. What I would like to know is if the rifles with the squirell on them were made for a particular customer or store? Tim I received a model 99 Marlin .22 with a squirrell on the stock in 1968. It was purchased by mail from Spiegel for around 50.00. I don't know if that info helps... I bought one at either Walmart or Kmart back in 1978. I am looking for the magazine tube for it. Randy Tim, I have a Glenfeild 22 long marlin that was my mothers, Serial 20xxxxxx, it has a squirrel on the handle also, i live in New Mexico, have no idea where the gun was purchased originally but will be working to find out, I am pretty sure however the gun is bought locally to New Mexico.... Chuck I have a Glenfield/Marlin Model 60 with the squirrel on the grip, that my Dad purchased in the early 70's, can't remember the exact year.... (the serial number begins 72xxxxxx), so possibly 1972. I do remember that we bought it at Sears & Roebuck, in North Carolina. I still have the rifle, it's in good shape and works great! Joe
Give up on the where it was purchased, I do not think you will ever find that out. Where? Where was Marlin making mod. 1887 at that time? Do alittle looking around, you should be able to find out. When; about 1900, but you might alreaded know that. Hope this helps.
The Marlin Mod 25 production started around 1966 and is still sold as the 925. For the exact year of production of your firearm you will have to locate dedicated Marlin collectors. Manuals are available by download from Marlin's website: http://www.marlinfirearms.com/customersupport/manuals.aspx If you want an original, try eBay.
the Glenfield name used on the marlin rifle was for mass-merchandisers and chain stores that wanted brand name products to sell. this model you have was made by marlin from 1966-1970. marlin made two variations of this rifle, the change coming in 1969. it should have impressed checking on stock and forearm. As for the JM on the barrel, this is Marlin trade mark. 77,603 were built. these sold for around $100 when they were new. They are real nice rifles, I have a 30A 1st. variation that should look almost like yours except the magizine tube is full length. I wouldn't call it rare, its worth what ever you can get out of it. good solid rifles made by Marlin!

Mossberg & Sons, Inc.Prices and availability may vary, so it's best to shop around to find the best deals.
I'm not too sure of the value, but a Glenfield is a low end Marlin produced to make them more affordable, I own one and have become quite attached to it, the only complaint I have is the quality of the ammo clip. UPDATED ANSWER - A used model 20/25 in good or better condition (80%+) has a value of around $70-$120.
Complete bolts are quite expensive and are available for the old or new model for around $60. Magazines are $25 and are available from Numrich gun parts as the Marlin model 80. I'd suggest going to a local gun show and trying to pick up a junker parts rifle to repair yours.
I've had a Marlin/Glenfield model 50 for many years. I got it in the late 90's at a pawn shop for $100. I dont know if this was a good price, since I can't find anyone who knows what they are worth. It had mild rust on the barrel and many scratches on the stock. After a lot of cleaning, and a refinishing of the stock, the gun looks great. Its also a conversation piece at the range since there arent many left around. The gun shoots great and has become one of my favorite firearms.
