Marlin rifle 336a..

Post by Night Angler »

I have a lever action 30-30..


serial number G 40714
I see these numbers under the lever.

Im thinking (and have been been told) this was made before the 1900's

This as I know is a 4 generation gun..

can anyone confirm this?

The 336 was introduced after WWII - 1948 to be exact. Serial numbers began with the prefix "E" and were alphabetized
in following years,i.e., F = 1949, G = 1950 - when your gun was made - and so on. The letter "I" was not used, nor was "O."
As the years progressed, the numbering system changed, but the preceding holds for the earlier guns.
Whatever happens, we have got
The Maxim Gun
And they have not.
