[Dean Evans]

I have just purchased a Marlin 19 but I do not know how to tell the difference as to which grade it is the gun has a decent walnut with checkered forearm and stock the recoil pad is not original. All of my books show grades A, B, C, D, I am sure it is not a grade A Any responce will be greatly appreciated Thanks Dean

Dean Evans;

The four grades in simple terms are as follows:

A Grade Standard gun with 30 inch barrel and plain walnut stocks

B Grade Checkered stock and forearm with Special Smokeless Steel barrel

C Grade Checkered fancy walnut stock and forearm, Special Smokeless Steel barrel, factory engraved receiver

D Grade Fancy Checkering on circassian walnut stock and forearm, Damascus barrel, more elaborate factory engraved receiver with gold plated trigger and screws

I hope this helps.
