View Full Version : 336 mfg date?
I recently acquired a real nice shooting 336 in .30-30. It has no safety, so I suspect it is one of the earlier models. It's serial number is 210243xx. Any help on the approximate date of mfr? Thanks,
Shuz
Looks like yours is 1979
MARLIN Manufacturing DATE CODE.
(22 caliber bolt action & semi-autos were not serial numbered prior to 1969)
Firearm serial numbers were date coded by a prefix within the s/n, as signified below.
For example a Marlin model 39A with a serial number of N1255X would have been made in 1955
while a 1894 in 44 magnum with a serial number of 2510509X, would have equated to 1975
