Anyone handled a Glendfield Model A?

At first glance, they look like the 1st generation Ruger American, are they just that?

 

[Redneck Hippy]

Yes.

Yup. Gen 1 American. Ruger got the Glenfield brand as part of the Marlin purchase.

I was wondering about those! Had some old glenfields awhile back.

They're cashin in on that name

Looks handy with the 20" barrels on them. Seems to be the same contour as the 22" Predator model barrels, so hopefully balance nice. Better looking with the webbing on the darker/duller olive stock and different bolt knob too IMO.

Gonna give one a shot

They look good fer me at least.

Identical to the American Predator with just the rough splatter on the stock. Had a 308 win and 270 win arrive this week. Very lightweight indeed.
