Like the fellow above, I joined the forum just to download the manual! I bought an M25 a few months ago, used. Many, many thanks!

The only problem I've had with mine is over time the plastic followers in the mags will break. Earlier guns than mine had metal followers. I got mine in the late 70's. Out of the ten mags I bought with it I have three left with unbroken followers.

My brother bought me a Glenfield Marlin M 25 for my 16th birthday in 1979. He bought the rifle from Edelman's in Montgomeryville. The rifle was my first rimfire and I still have it.

I have 2 of them. They're surprisingly accurate.
I do have a problem with Eley ammo in them though, I get quite a few misfires. I've replaced the firing pins in both of them. That helped a bit, but didn't resolve the problem. I'll just stay from that ammo.
All in all, they're great guns. If I saw another one for a decent price I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.

Thanks for the manual. It was very helpful. Our summer camp has owned six of these rifles since 1972. 1 of them is now junk, one is missing a bolt, but four of them are in fair shape. I learned to shoot with these rifles when I was 10 and now I'm the director so I can shoot them anytime I want!

I have an M 25 for a couple of years now. It shoots a little under 1” groups off a benchrest at 100-yards and under ½” at 50-yards, when I do my part.

The other day at the range, the guy next to me asked what I was shooting and commented that was a bit of a stretch at 100 yards. He was shooting a .223 and a 7mm and when we went down range to check our targets, his groups were twice mine. That shut him right up.

You just can’t go wrong with a Marlin.

Hello everyone

I joined because I saw the manual posted here. My dad has a model 25 from before I was born. I am 36 now. I used that to first learn how to shoot a firearm with. We have taken some squirrels and whole bunch of groundhogs with it. And we intend to take a lot more! Thanks for the manual!

Hey all, i just signed up to see the manual, but i have a simple question...

What ammo have you found shoots well enough for plinking at 25yd to 50yd in your Glenfield Model 25? I dug my dad's M25 out of the attic yesterday and it had a box (500rds) of .22lr Rem Thunderbolt with it. I've read enough bad stories about this ammo to know i don't really want to use it in this rifle. I can't justify expensive ammo for shooting cans, but i want something a little better than the regular bulk stuff. Any recommendations?
