I just plunked some cash down on a Glenfield 30-30. It's in very good condition and has a scope base on it. And the price seemed fair.
I have a 336 and had never seen the Glenfield Mod. 30 in the flesh before.
Serial no: 699xxxx, which I take to mean it was made in 1969. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
It has a hardwood stock and goofy impressed checkering (which I kinda like). Also I like the short magazine tube. Between the short tube and "hardwood" stock, it seems significantly lighter than my 336--is that possible?
The bore was dusty and clogged with a spider egg sack, but it looks like it might be ballard rifling. But that doesn't seem right, even though i couldn't find "Microgrooved" on the barrel.
Any info appreciated.
Can't wait to shoot it.
