A Marlin Model 99M1, shown equipped with a leather sling.

The Marlin Model 99M1 was part of the Marlin Model 99 series of tube-fed semi-automatic .22 rifles. While the Model 99 series was typical of what you'd expect of a standard .22 rifle of the period, the Model 99M1 was instead equipped with an M1 Carbine style wood stock, giving this model a unique look and feel.

This rifle was also sold as the Glenfield Model 75. But not quite: While the Glenfield Model 75 did retain the barrel band around the end of the stock and the rifle's barrel, that rifle featured different sites, a longer barrel, and no top handguard like on the Model 99M1. While both are part of Marlin's Model 99 lineup, they were not configured the same way.

The Model 99M1's magazine-fed counterpart is the Marlin Model 99M2. They are extremely similar, except the Model 99M2 features a detachable box magazine, instead of being tube-fed.
