FYI Marlin years of manufacture

[ohwin94_61]

I just thought this might be some help to Marlin owners

Marlin year of manufacture maybe determined from the following list of letter/numeral prefixs to the serial number:

1946-C
1947-D
1948-E
1949-F
1950-G
1951-H
1952-J
1953-K
1954-L
1955-M
1956-N
1957-P
1958-R
1959-S
1960-T
1961-U
1962-V
1963-W
1964-Y,-Z
1965-AA
1966-AB
1967-AC
1968-AD, -68
1969-69
1970-70
1971-71
1972-72

Starting in 1973, the year of manufacture maybe determined by subtracting the first two digits of the serial number from 100:
Example: SN 2512345 would have been made in 1975 [100 - 25 = 75].

The Model 336 Regular Carbine (RC) was the original update of the Model 36 and the basis for all the other models that followed. It was introduced in 1948 and continues today as the 336-C (changed from "RC" to "C" in 1960).


1952 - A pistol grip cap and white spacer was added along with a white spacer under the buttplate.
1956 - Rifling changed from ballard to Micro-Groove.
