First post, very new to this forum.
I would like to know if there is a resource to find manufacture dates from serial numbers on Marlin rifles?
I have a Marlin model '94 in 38-40 caliber serial number 39692X. It has what seems to be a heavy barrel configuration, and a small globe style front sight, I believe someone may have added that and drilled an tapped the receiver for a receiver sight to match.
The gun sports several filed notches on the stock wrist which I believe are deer kills.
I would like to know the age of this piece.
Thanks for any help, this looks like a very well run forum. Kevin W. Dix

I believe the factory records end in the 355,000 range around 1906 yours should be in the 1907-08 range. When Reigner checks in he will be able to tell you for sure but I believe yours is after the available records.

Delta IX;

A Marlin with a serial number in the 396,000 range should have been made somewhere around 1908-1909. Possibity as late as 1910. It is out of the serial number records range, so this is only an estimate.
