Does it have a bullseye in the bottom of the buttstock?
It's a chancey job and it makes a man watchfull....and a little lonely.

Re: When was My model 93 made
I would say your rifle was made sometime around the 1930-1931 era. During the depression years Marlin dropped both the bullseye and the star. Yours still has the star and others in your serial number range have the bullseye.
