Re: Model 1893 30-30 Question
That rifle was made some time after World War One. One the experts here will be able to give a better idea if you give a run-down on all the markings you can find on the rifle, and whether or not it has a bull seye on the belly of the stock...

Re: Model 1893 30-30 Question
It would be a Model '93 and not a Model 1983 with that serial number.

426crown: It wouldn't have been made in 1884 as the Model 1893 didn't
come out till 1893.There are no records after 1906 so that rules out an
possibility there. The next thing to consider in trying to make a fairly
close guess is first where is the serial number located.You mention it being
a Model 1893 so I assume that the Tang is marked so not Marlin Model 93.
