Ive got a 925 (from model 25) that is mag fed, and pretty much meets the criteria above. I have trouble keeping some of the marlins apart since the numbering system seemed pretty random

a variety of tube fed 22s can do, as can pretty much any single shot boltie
(or mag fed bolties with a single shot adapter... or just loaded one at a time to chamber)
but I woulda' thought it not at all reliable feed with a box magazine, unless maybe had multiple/different box mags

I had a Marlin mag fed bolt from the 1960's that was a JC Penny "Foremost" store brand. Just like this fellow describes:
" Met a guy yesterday, he had made mention of the fact he had bought a .22 bolt for a $100.00 and was looking to sell it. Turns out it's a Foremost/Marlin Model 2035. Using the store cross over list it's a J.C.Penny rifle and the Marlin Model 80. Serial number is 7021****, So is this a good rifle made in 1970? ... stock appears to be birch, walnut stained in really good shape, has a chromed bolt. "
Does that sound like it?

Glenfield / Marlin 25, fits the bill perfectly, and it will feed short, long, and long rifle all from the same mag.
If you research it, I believe the 20, 25, 80, and 780 all use the same magazine. And, all cite the same short, long, long Rifle capabilities. Model would also give you some clue as to date of manufacturer, and vice versa.
As a side note... I believe the mag fed auto-loaders use the same magazine as well.

I can remember when I was a kid, my dad and uncle driving down to a store called GRANTS.
They had them on sale for $49.99
One year for Christmas, I asked him for his rifle or one just like it.
Dad was a tight old hunkie and I got nothing but socks and underwear.
That was about 1973!
The Grants store later became a G.C Murphys which later became a Murphy's Mart which later became an Ames Store.
Dad still has the rifle hanging on two rusty nails in the cellar - with the clip full of shells.
I threw away the old scope that came with the rifle, it was like trying to look through a straw.
I put on a 4x32 scope and mounts for him one year that was on a trade rifle that I had bought off some other friends.
The rifle was no good beyond 50 yards - unless you sighted it in for the distance you wished to shoot. Parallax was terrible in that old Bushnell scope...
