This is actually a Marlin 120 with a cheaper grade stock. In good condition I would take less than $200.00 for a sturdy and reliable weapon. It has been mechanically compared to the Winchester Model 12.
$200
It has value as a shooter only - not a collector piece. $100-$200.
Marlin started producing the 778 in 1979, production ended in 1984
I am not 100 % sure, but the research I have done indicates that they were produced from 1978-1984, with 1984 being the last year of production. The Marlin Model 120 is the continuation of the Glenfield 778 with some parts being interchangable.
Could your model be 775 or 774, NO 778 model by Savage or Stevens

In good working condition $150 to $200
I own a glenfield 778 without the magazine plug it can hold a maximum of 6 rounds on in the chamber and 5 in the magazine
That model has been obsolete since 1982. You might find a scanned copy available on one of the gun auction sites or eBay.
yes and they sell rifled slugs that shoot better

To break down a Glenfield Model 778, first ensure the firearm is unloaded. Next, remove the magazine and pull the bolt back to check the chamber for any remaining cartridges. Then, locate the takedown screw or latch, typically found on the underside of the receiver, and loosen or disengage it. Finally, slide the barrel and receiver apart, separating the components for cleaning or maintenance. Always refer to the manufacturer's manual for specific instructions and safety precautions.
