glenfield or marlin?

[hogshooter]

i posted this down on the lever gun forum and never got and answer so thought maybe i was on the wrong forum. i have a 30-30 stamped marlin 3081 limited addition , it has a cheap medallion in the but stock of the Alamo, but the stock itself looks like the ones you see on a glenfield. i don't know if i have a glenfield or a marlin and i would like to have a better stock for it if they sell them!?? can anyone tell me where to get a stock and forearm of it ?
     thanks

If memory serves, Boyds makes them for both straight and pistol grip buttstocks (forends, too).  I've found other producers by using Yahoo or similar search engines.  Perhaps others on this site can also help.

Gunstocks, Inc. (a GBO sponsor) also may have them.  They sell semi finished stocks for lots of guns, and are great folks to deal with.

My Glenfield says GLENFIELD MOD 30A and then next to it Marlin Firearms Co. Newhaven, Conn. on the barrel. If yours is a Glenfield I suspect it should say so on the barrel, maybe not but I think it will. It's still the same gun as a Marlin 336 but just with a cheaper hardwood stock not a walnut one.

Gunstocks, Inc. does sell Marlin replacement stocks.

thank you gentlemen
      i really appreciate your replies !  it don't say anything on the barrel about being a glenfield, and i thought it kinda of funny that for a commemerative that they didnt put more effort into making it a nice firearm . instead they got a good shooting firearm that really looks cheap, oh well i reckon they didnt ask me how they should do it.  i have killed several deer with it is a really good shooter . i carried it in the ranch truck quite a bit so maybe that cheap stock aint such a bad idea after all , i'd really hate to tear up a high grade walnut stock.

I too have a glenfield 30a and am about to scope it. is the receiver the same as a 336? will all the hardware for a 336 work? and what height rings will I need for a 40mm scope?  as far as the wood goes I"m in the process of stripping off the crappy finish to the pretty bland wood below and refinishing it. it looks better, but not fancy. at least it looks like real wood instead of some sort of pressed, wood-like substance.

This is my Glenfield 30GT purchased new in 1979.  I used to have a straight tube 2.5X scope and used low mounts. 
This is a Simmons variable.  So I made shim spacers from plastic found in custom (front) license plates. But you can use any steel or plastic that is non compressable and will not warp or corrode.

Medium is probably the size you want to buy.

Good hunting to you.

It seem bizarre but I kinda like the Glenfield stock.  They seem like a working man's gun.  I have a Glenfield 30 and It's a great rifle.  I wish mine had a straight gripped stock like the one in the picture.
