- Firearm serial numbers were date coded by a prefix within the s/n, as signified below. For example a Marlin model 39A with a serial number of N12478 would have been made in 1955 while a 1894 in 44 magnum with a serial number of 25105098, would have equated to 1975.

Serial number info[edit]
Serial number info:How does one determine the year of manufacture for a Marlin Model 60 manufactured after 2000? RPellessier | Talk 18:28, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
- Same as before 1971; the first two digits indicate the year of manufacture directly. Yaf 02:33, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
Seems to me there's some confusion. The Marlin 99 is the ID; it was sold as the Glenfield 60 (Marlin's promo brand), but it's a 99, with over 4 million sold (plus 2 million 60s)--& that was by 1982. See Murtz. Trekphiler 10:26, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Short, Long, Long Rifle Interchangeability[edit]
How Much detail is necessary on this subject?
(While earlier .22 semi-automatic rifles were often designed to function with .22 Short, .22 Long and .22 Long Rifle interchangeably, the Model 60 is optimized for the .22 Long Rifle cartridge only. During the 1930s to 1950s Short and Long were less expensive than Long Rifle; however, the superior ballistics of the Long Rifle have reduced the market share of Short and Long to where the Long Rifle today is less expensive than the Short or Long due to simple economy of scale of production. Like the Ruger 10/22 and several other modern .22 semi-autos, the Model 60 is designed for the Long Rifle Only.)
Naaman Brown (talk) 13:18, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
Glenfield 75C[edit]
Glenfield Model 75CI think that section needs revision. I have a Glenfield 75C and it has a 14 round lr magazine and no sling swivels. Rifle has a 18' barrel and is 37' long overall with Monte Carlo stock. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.40.136.251 (talk) 14:35, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
Sources[edit]
Where does all this information come from? The only real sources listed are the manufacturer's website and a book titled, Gun Digest Treasury: The Best from 45 Years of Gun Digest, published by a hobbyist magazine. It's not visible on Google or Amazon, but I'm guessing there's an article on this firearm in it. So, basically, it's maybe based on one independent source, though there's only a sngle citation to that book, for the claim that '...it has been sold in over thirty-five variants, and is one of the fastest-selling rifles ever.[3]' What about everything else? I can get the Gun Digest book. Are any other sources available? Felsic2 (talk) 00:46, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
I spent the day at the library yeasterday, tracking down this source because I figured it'd be worthhwhile. I was surprised and disappointed to discover that it's just a couple of sentences in an article covering many different rifles. It's barely even about this gun:- Marlin Model 99: More than 4 million.: Introduced in 1960 as the Model 99, this little rifle designed by the late Ewald Nichol has been sold in more than 35 variations, some of-them private brands. The fastest seller among the variations is known as the Glenfield Model 60; Glenfield is Marlin's promotional brand and more than two million have been sold in this brand alone. The Model 99 turned into the fastest-selling sporting rifle ever made...What happened in the early '60s is roughly this: Marlin's 336 came into big demand after 1964 when the Winchester 94 was 're-engineered.' The Marlin sales effort was simply stated-if you want 336s you'll take Glenfield 60s ... by the truckload.
- I have owned Marlin Model 99 and Model 60 rifles, rebuilt and maintained a few for family and friends. As evidenced from the page on this rifle at Numrich Arms Gun Parts, the Model 60 is a direct evolution of the Model 99, many parts are interchangeable, so they are not really different guns. The Model 60 has been used as the designation for most of the history of the gun. -- Naaman Brown (talk) 17:46, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
