Wade;

The Marlin 42, exposed hammer, pump action shotgun was manufactured from 1922 to 1933. Your low serial number would tend to indicate that it was made in the first year of production.
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.
