Yes, it's in great shape. The bore looks as though it wasn't shot much.

Yeah, I like how they look too. Kinda "streamlined", lol.

Good score, I have the Glenfield model 30 with a half mag made in 1969, picked it up cheap as it was rode hard and put away wet. after cleaning it up inside and out it is a great shooter. it's hardly bigger than a .22 . Enjoy. Yeah, this rifle does feel quite light and handy, even with the Weaver K...

Okay, I took the rifle apart, well, everything on the back end anyway. I couldn't see any obvious problems except that one leg of the trigger spring looked like it might bind against the trigger safety block. I pried it away from the block a bit, to make it more straight. There was very little bit o...

I recently bought a 1977 Glenfield 30A off an auction site. The rifle's in great shape but I've just discovered a bit of problem. I can't get the hammer to reliably half-cock. Sometimes I can lower the hammer from the cocked position and pull it back to half-cock. But, at other times, it won't. I th...

Oh, I did forget this question about the Lyman 66LA sight. I shoot left-hand, so will this sight work for me? I noticed that Midway's catalog says that some rifles might still need to be drilled even with the existing holes in the receiver side. http://www.midwayusa.com/rewriteaproduct/116045 I supp...

Wow, thanks for all the great comments and compliments! Okay, please don't worry, I WON'T DRILL AND TAP that receiver. I'd never really even considered that, since it does have the side mounting screws already there. I do respect these old guns too much to do that, so a side-mounted sight is for sur...

No 1886, the top is not drilled and tapped unfortunately.

Thanks for the welcome and the info 1886! That's good news to me; my place consists of about 35 acres of pasture and my part of 12 or 13 acres of a huge postoak and blackjack oak woods area. There are lots of whitetail deer and I did shoot a 7 point buck of about 110 lbs. a few years ago. I used a M...

I recently bought a 1949 Marlin 336SC in .30-30 cal. I shot it for the first time yesterday. The rifle only has the original sights and the rear is the buckhorn-type with elevator. I was shooting from a rest at about 40 yards, holding right on the center of the bullseye. To get the rounds in the bul...
