I'm looking for help verifying the manufacture date of an old " Marlin Model 93" (exact info as stamped on top of the tang - NOT "1893") If you run into an IP ban, it likely wasn't you.īefore I sign up on a Marlin-specific forum, I thought I'd try my luck here. We try not to ban legit subscription VPN services, but they rarely label their IP blocks correctly. We do not ban legit Internet Service Providers from the USA(exception for certain individual IP addresses). If you run into a IP ban afterwards as a member, again - turn off your VPN or switch servers. Failure to do so will result with your new account denied. When signing up, do so from a US based Internet Service Provider.

Their serial numbering convention was different from what is shown above. While these rifles are in essence model 336’s, rebranded under the OTASCO name. One such example is at least some of the OTASCO (Oklahoma Tire and Supply Co) rifles manufactured by Marlin.

Some of which do not line up with this serial number - date of manufacture convention. Marlin made various Limited Edition / House Brand guns. See here for these guns.Īll model 336’s, and all other models of centerfire lever action rifles produced by Marlin, as well as lever action rimfire rifles (39, 39A, etc) made by them will have serial numbers. Many of these had letter “codes” on them that will help ID date of manufacture. It is important to note that some “budget” Marlin Rimfire rifles that were manufactured prior to 1968 did not have a serial number. It is unknown as of December 2013 how Marlin (”Remlin”) will continue with their serial numbering convention. 22 RF rifle (XT-22 Mag) had a serial number prefix of MM reported and verified. ***While potentially not relevant to this specific thread. Speculation is that once receivers started being manufactured at the Ilion, NY, plant the prefix became MR. This was done in conjunction with the sale of Marlin, and subsequent move to the Remington Arms plant in Ilion, NY. Sometime in 2011 the serial number prefix became MR. No commercial manufacture from sometime in 1941/’42 until 1945, due to WWII production & retooling. (Notice there are no “I”, “O”, or “Q” serial number prefixes in use.

Only those manufactured from 1941 through 2011 which have serial numbers on them and with the caveat mentioned elsewhere in this blog. Please note this list is NOT INCLUSIVE of all Marlin firearms. The serial number, depending on the model of rifle, will either be located on the upper or lower stock tang, bottom of the receiver, or side of the receiver.īelow are the manufacturing date codes, which are the first one or two characters of the serial number.
In addition to the first two characters of the serial number, it’s also imperative in many cases to know the model number. In order to find the year of manufacture one needs to know the **first two character’s** of the serial number as a minimum, either letters, numbers, or a letter number combination. Some people are under the belief that all one has to do is “subtract the first two digits of the serial number from 2000 and that is the year of manufacture”. There is some confusion about how Marlin Firearms used their serial numbers to ID the year of manufacture. Marlin rifle with serial number on top stock tang, behind hammer.
