[QUOTE="Craig Miller, post: 2544637, member: 107958"] Those who are saying “rebranded Marlin 336” are almost correct. It is actually a Glenfield 30. Glenfield was Marlin’s less expensive brand way back when. Fit and finish were not as good as the Marlins (mostly they weren’t polished to as high a standard before bluing) and wood was rather plain. There were several companies for which Marlin just rebranded Genfield 30s with the company’s “store brand” name. Revelation was Western Auto’s store brand. Marlin made their lever guns, Mossberg their pump shotguns, etc. I have a Western Field 740A which was Montgomery Ward’s version of the same rifle. My Dad bought it new in 1959. Be careful if you need to replace any parts. “Most” 336 parts fit but not all. Example: Neither of the standard Marlin 336 forends will fit the Glenfields. [/QUOTE]
