Date of manufacture for my 1893
I recently purchased a model 1893 with serial number A3479. I have been trying to determine the date of manufacture, but everything I come up with seems to be before or after this range. Thanks in advance!

Tennessetom;
The "A" prefix indicates that your Marlin Model 1893 was made in the 1916/1917 time frame.

Due to the increasing cost of ammunition, there will be no warning shot!

Thanks, Gunrunner! I just picked this up at auction, and it has some unusual features, so I’m sure I’ll be back with a few more questions when I have it in hand.
