Danth;

Approximate date your Model 1892 was shipped would be 1895. Which would be the first year the Model 1892 was offered.

ItsaDrenalin; The full serial number will only tell you the date the gun was shipped, and shape and length of the barrel. Wisner's used to sell firing pins, you might check them out at www.wisnersinc,com. Finding centerfire ammunition will be difficult, but check gun shows and some internet sights t...

Usually, would need the complete serial number to check the old factory records, but in this case, nearly everything in the 102,000 serial number range are Model 1891 in .32 Colt caliber, made in 1894.

Levallois;

Definitely a factory short barrel carbine! And, you are correct about the approximate date of manufacture.
It is the correct, pinned front sight for the era, and a correct carbine rear sight.

There should be more information stamped on the side of the barrel such as Model 39-A or Model 336 RC or A. The caliber should also be marked on the side of the barrel as well, and that will tell us what you have.

Levallois; Pictures certainly do help, but if the serial number is within the known serial number factory records, then posting the serial number may help even more as we do have a copy of the original factory records and can look up that number. As to the length of the barrel, except for the earlie...

I am going to guess that the serial number is under the lever. If it is, then your rifle most likely was made approximately 1921 or 1922.

Banks4491; The Marlin Firearms Collectors Association, Ltd. has copies of the old Marlin Factory Records, the same as the Cody Firearms Museum has. We can look up any serial number for lever action rifles made between serial number 4,096 and 355,300, that ends in December of 1906. Guns made after th...

PdwGA; From your description, you have a Marlin Model '93 that would have been manufactured sometime between 1922 ( bullseye ) and sometime after that up to about 1935. The hammer spring is a flat style spring, and the firing pin is in 2 pieces. Check with Wisner's Inc ( www.wisnersinc.com ) to see ...

Brian; The old Marlin Factory Records end at 355,500 in December of 1906. Your Model '94 with a 367,000 serial number range would have been made in mid to late 1907 or maybe early 1908. We can only estimate the date since the records are not complete. But since your gun is only about 12,000 higher t...

The Model 1894 was made in 1982, and the Model 60 was made in 1996. No other information will be available.

Hatchlake1951; A reproduction butt plate for your Marlin Model 42 shotgun can be found at www.gungrip.com. The correct one is item B341. Check the instructions for sizing as item B340 may work also, depending upon the size. These are plastic and do not look correct, but can be made to look right by ...

Instructions on how to post photos is in the section titled "No Longer Guest Questions"

REITZ; Interesting gun. The fact that your gun has a serial number beginning with "70" would tend to indicate that your Model 57M was made in 1970 and therefore would have the 100th Anniversary medallion. The Levermatics are not listed in the 1970 catalog, but not to waste any good Marlin ...

Kelly; Your Marlin Model 1893 with the "D" serial number prefix and located up near the forearm and marked Model 1893 ( not Model '93 ) would have been made about 1919/1920. Instructions on posting photos can be found under the section of the message board titled "No Longer Guest Ques...
