Entered your serial number on a Marlin info site. Got a (entered invalid serial number) error. So here's a helpful site for you to use.

Excess650 is correct.

By the way, if I were you, I'd go back and X out all but the first two numbers of your rifle s/n. Not a good thing to post on line.

If you are interested, here is a link to a chart with all Marlin lever gun s/n dates based on first digit or two of the s/n. Just scroll down and click on the thumbnail chart pic.

Thanks Dave Bulla. Didn't think about the problems that could happen.

I have a CS, I believe it means custom stock, I bought mine at wal-mart back in the mid 1990s for 20.00 you could upgrade the walnut stock. Glad I did that but sad that a buddy banged up the stock some. Gun safes are good for some things but sure need to be organized to avoid such tragedies.
