Rk88;

Those patent dates were utilized on several different Marlin hammerless models. What gauge is your shotgun? Is is a 12 gauge or a 20 gauge?
The model marking should be stamped somewhere on the receiver. Usually, on the bottom, near the loading port.
With the model number, we can give your more information regarding production dates, etc.
Due to the increasing cost of ammunition, there will be no warning shot!

The growing federal deficit = generational slavery to the national debt.

If the world was perfect.......it wouldn't be.
