Ruger’s purchase of the Marlin brand has led to the reintroduction of the classic lever-action rifles produced by that company. Based on that success, that rebirth now includes another aspect of Marlin’s history, rifles that combine quality and affordability under the Glenfield brand name, with the new-for-2025 Glenfield Model A.
