    Glenfield Model 60

    I have a Glenfield Model 60 and wanted to find out how old it is. Does anyone know how to decode the SN? Thanks for the help.
    Keep your bugger hook off the bang stick and you will not have a problem!!!

    No help here but it brought back memories. That was my first .22 given to me by my dad. Cheap scope and all, I could shoot tree branches in half.
    Wish I was still that steady.

        The Glenfield 60 was the Montgomery Ward version of the Marlin 60. The Glenfield is better because it has a squirrel on it. lol

          First two numbers of serial # subtracted from 2000 will give you the year. Eg. Serial # 26***** means it was manufactured in 1974.

          Life can make you do many things, even kiss a man with a runny nose.

            This was posted on Wiki answers but I think it contains a slight error. I think they started the subtract the first two digits from 2000 in 1973 or late 1972 because I have one that has 72 as the first two digits.

            The first two digits of the serial number indicate the year of manufacture. say the serial number starts with 18... The 18 is significant, for subtracting it from 2000 gives the date of manufacture for the rifle, 1982. Likewise, a serial number starting with 17 would be a rifle manufactured in 1983.

            This method has not been uniformly followed. It is valid only from 1971 through 1999. Prior to 1971, the first two digits indicated the year of manufacture. For example, a rifle with a serial number starting with 70... would have been made in 1970. Starting in 2000, this same old method has returned; the first two digits once more indicate the year of manufacture directly, with no subtraction required.
