I own a Model 1893 Marlin 38-55 that is missing a screw from its receiver that I would love to replace. The missing screw is located on the receiver forward of the lever-action and immediately below the serial number. Can anyone tell me the part name for that screw and a possible source for a replacement?
Finally, the serial number of the rife is 6 digits and begins with 184. Is there a database available that would give me some idea of when it was manufactured?
Thanks

Birdhunter;
Check the first post under"For Sale or Trade" that lists screws for sale. You want a Trigger Plate Screw.
A gun with a serial number in the 184000 range could be estimated to have been made in 1899.

Due to the increasing cost of ammunition, there will be no warning shot!
