Early Model 27-S Question, Date
Posted: Wed Sep 20, 2017 3:55 pm
Hello,
This is my first post to this forum, best wishes to everyone! I recently acquired a Marlin 27-S in 90% ++ condition including the bright, shiny bore. The serial number is 20xx but the Marlin book I have is confusing about the numbering of the Model 27 and the Model 27-S, regarding manufacturing dates. What should I look for on the rifle to determine the date it was made or is there a list of serial numbers somewhere? By the way, the rifle is in 25-20 Win center fire and it has an octagon barrel, if this will help. Thank you.
