Someone gave me an old lever action 30-30. Model 36-RC. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what year marlin made this gun and any other information. I would be grateful.
You have but to post the letter prefix to the serial number ( always tough to find the YOM without serial number information ) and someone will provide the year. SW
I am really not an expert - distinguished or otherwise!!
I may not be looking in the right spot but the only other number that I can find is under the lever and that is 5891. If that is not the correct #, is there another area that the serial # would be? On the barrel is written, "Marlin Arms Co. , New Haven , est 1870, Model 36-RC -30-30 cal.
