NTM Marlin Model 25

[Uncle Alvah]

Came across this Marlin/Glenfield Model 25 .22 rifle recently at a local pawn shop.
I'm not sure how long they have been out of production but the condition of this gun was amazing. Except for some residue in the barrel it might have passed for new-no box.
Condition notwithstanding, I now have the stock stripped and sanded. Can't get much out of a plain piece of what I suspect is birch, but still, the thin factory finish looked bland, and a TruOil is my favorite finish anyway.
Might try the TruOil/Armorall approach on this gun even, not sure.

Anyone know the years of production of this rifle by any chance?

Looks real familiar. I have one of those that dad bought me back in the late 70's or early 80's. It was my first .22 rifle and I must say that it has been a good little rifle. If I recall correctly it has a 7 shot magazine that allows it to shoot .22 shorts, longs and long rifles. Heck it’s been a safe queen for years, I need to get it out and shoot it.
