Re: HELP ID MARLIN Lever
Marlin never made any lever actions chambered in the .30-06 cartridge. The serial number indicates your gun is likely around WWI period, so either the cartridge you think it is isn't, or somebody did some horrible, dangerous rechambering to a Marlin.
Need more info from the gun to determine what you have? Have you looked at the top tang area behind the hammer to see what the stamp there says? If it has a sight there, remove the two screws and see what's stamped there.

Marlin lever actions 1870's-WWI, Ballards, and single shot rifles!
