I just did mine, because the handle is broken off the bolt. Remove the large screw at the back of the hole on the bottom for the clip. The whole works should separate from the stock. I don't know if this is the offical way, but it worked. Take the screw out of the trigger mechanism - mine had one screw and one pin - and let the piece with the long screw sticking into it slide forward a bit. There is room to get a screw driver between it and the receiver.

Slide the screw driver in and pry the piece out a little. I guess it's the firing pin release. After it is out a little the bolt will slide out the back.
I think I'm going to vee around the block the bolt handle goes through, put some tack welds around it and then mill around the block to square it up again. The hole stripped that the bolt screws into. It doesn't look like it was much to begin with. I never used this gun much because the bolt broke early on. Was cleaning out under the stairs and decided to try to fix it.
It helps to have a nice mig welder and a milling machine at work. That is like turning left three times when you can simply turn right. Open the bolt, pull the bolt to the rear until it stops. Pull the trigger and the bolt will slide out of the receiver. The large knurled screw on the bottom of the stock is the takedown screw - you will find it is slotted for a coin. Loosen that and the barrelled action will come loose from the stock. No need to take it down further.

Answer Glenfield Marlin Model 25 rifles were patterned after the Marlin 80C and Marlin 780 rifles. The Glenfield name was added for sales to coast-to-coast chain-stores versus stores that were specific Marlin dealer stores. The Glenfield 25 was manufactured from 1979 through 1982 according to Brophy. Others would suggest the Marlin Glenfield 25 was produced from 1972-1982.
Regardless, the Glenfield name was dropped in 1983. The rifle continued as the Marlin Model 25 until 2003, which then became the Marlin 925. Differences between the Marlin and Glenfied were purely cosmestic i.e.
Birch stocks instead of walnut stock, different trigger guards, and triggers (black instead of gold colored). It is still being produced in.22LR (Marlin 925) and.22 Magnum (Marlin 925M) versions today. Most parts between the Glenfield 25 and Marlin 780 will interchange with no problem. Some of the Glenfield 20 and 25 will interchange as well. However, not all late model parts between the Marlin 780 and Marlin 80 will interchange with those models made in the pre-70s.
The Glenfield 25 was manufactured from 1979 through 1982. Some would suggest the Marlin Glenfield 25 was produced from 1972-1982.
Regardless, the Glenfield name was cancelled in 1983. The rifle continued as the Marlin Model 25 until 2003, which then became the Marlin 925. Thousands were produced so YES it is common to find a Marlin-Glenfield Model 25. How many original matching Marlin scopes made it so far with the rifle however is another story. I have not seen many with the matching scope so this may be uncommon. The Model 25 is a robust and classic rifle. Before asking these questions one might search the list to see if this question had been asked and answered.

An iteration of a answer on this is 'from 1968- 1973 the year is the first two digits in the (sic) serial from after 1973 subtract the first two digits from 100 (ex 2011645 - 100-20=80). Before 1968 there are no serial # on.22 cal firearms.' This should help you determine the year of manufacture in regard to Glenfield/Marlin model 25. As an example: my dad bought me a Glenfield/Marlin 25 from the local JCPenney for 42usd. I do not know why I remember that but maybe it was a lot of money in those days. My serial number is 72422xxx, I will not show the last three digits of my serial for the sake of privacy. My serial started with a 72 for the year 1972.
That is correct because he bought it for me as a gift the spring of 1972; for rabbit hunting. Some would say the Glenfield had no swivels for a sling but mine did and some would say the trigger should have been black but mine is chrome. Just some added information. Good luck and peace be to the journey!
