Topgun right on.

definitely a Marlin/Glenfield #25, bolt action clip from the picture.

Note the give away on the picture is the BACKward safety. These can be very dangerous. Note: when I was backward, the safe position is forward and the rear postion is to the rear. MOST rifles have the safety opposite (the correct way, rearward is SAFE).

I never understood why Marlin would make an obviously dangerous design. Someone said that they made it of a set of drawings that were copied backwar????

If this is your rifle, you must retrain your self to thei backward design.

What makes this worse, is that After YEARS Marlin changed the safety design on this rifle to the proper configuration (safet is now rearward). What makes these rifles even more dangerous today is some are proper and others improper. I happen to have one of each. When I die, my will has the rifle with the wrong safety to be melted down and destroyed.

Like all guns the safety has to be in your head.
