Thank you. I looked up my serial number and it started with U. 1961/62 year model.
Something different on mine is a R.C. Stamp on the barrel. Believe it was produced for the Royal Canadian Mounties. Nice
once again a single sentence in search gets me to where I want to be…I was born in 1963 and for whatever reason I was convinced my Fathers Lever Action 30-30 Marlin was as old as me. My Dad had three hunting rifles A big 300 Magnum a gun he was very fond of. we new he had purchased that gun new because it was a Weatherby Action a pretty Blonde Stock and Seiko Scope #One brother has in his possession, 42He had a 306 that my brother Hunts with .I have the 30-30 Marlin and I have wanted to figure out its age…my serial number begins with "F" so now I know it was manufactured in New Haven in 1949 thank and I watched you till the end
I remember when he had the scope mounted… back then it was difficult but now I know why!.. The mounts are dual purpose.. you can use the iron sights OR the Scope…
THANX SOO MUCH! You remind me of my DAD! (Posthumously).. I was blessed with his 336 Marlin.. ser# 22xxxxxx.
Really enjoyed the video friend. Very informative. I see that my daddys 35 rem marlin was made in 1979. When he gave it to me we could not hit a 5gal bucket at 50 yrds. Im pretty decent marksman an missed it about 4ft to the left so I had all my gun friends even a wva trooper check it out an couldn't find a reason for it to be off that far so I set it in the corner for a month and one morning having my coffee i look down the barrel and notice the front sight was off to the right side. IT was a WOW MOMENT so I called Marlin and they said send it to us an we will repair it at no cost so I packed it up and time rolled around and it was the following year deer season so I had no other deer rifle so I put a scope on it and its been that way for 44 years. Killed a few deer with it. Great deer rifle. Thats very odd isn't it. I enjoy your videos alot. Im going on 71 years old.
Awesome video!!! Last night I traded a unfired ruger gp100 .357 for, what I was told was a 1972 model 336. So I looked for info on YouTube and came across your video. After watching the video, I was pleasantly surprised to find a serial number starting with 21xxxxx making the mfg date 1979, the year we, me and the 336 were made. Thanks for the info. I greatly appreciate it.
My Remlin GBL .45-70 looks like it has an upside down 11 where I’m supposed to look on the barrel . Any thoughts?
My dad gots a Marlin 336 RC 30-30 but I was wondering if i could put a scope on it, its a 1967?
North Haven
1973 model 336 in .35 Remington, 1996, model 30AS in 3030 Winchester.
Thanks that was a lot for the help i brought a 45/70 in 2012 with a discount coupon it cost me a little over five hundred i think it is a gb model. what i did not understand the barrel said north haven ct so i thought if may have been a left-over marlin but your dating info said nov 2012 and that was the time i brought it around the end of nov or the first of dec. it is a good firearm works well fit and finish is good not great but i like it a lot and would not sale it. thanks again.
I found myself instinctively ducking when you swung the loaded 308Marlin barrel towards the camera.
Mine starts with MR and the barrel is marked ilion ny
Nice video. I'm a Marlin collector of sorts, since I primarily buy "shooters" and not necessarily collector condition guns. Just an FYI, Remington bought Marlin in 2008 and the manufacturing problems started immediately. One of the worst debacles was with the 308MX line. Many receivers had barrel threading that was not square with the receiver, which resulted in what was called "barrel droop" and 2009 was the year. I own a 2007 308MXLR and was just about to buy a 2009 308MX when I had the seller check for barrel droop and, sure enough, the barrel was low & offline by about a 1/4", which basically destroyed the value of the gun. I'm in Houston quite often with a son who is a Houston firefighter and my father-in-law is there, a Rice professor and Christian who has taught an adult class at his church for 50 years. God bless and keep making the levergun videos.
I have a Marlin Golden 39 A bought In 1968 like brand me
I chose a late 2009 1894 for the Ballard rifling. There were some gold triggers available then for around $500, but I wanted to avoid the Microgroove.
The fit was very fine, but finish of the internals required filing and stoning using a jewelers loupe to get rid of tooling marks and scratches.
I also upgraded the trigger to the non-floppy Wild West model.
Very fine rifle . . . one of the issues the late New Haven JM models had were a reduction in hand-finishing and their tooling was wearing out.
This added to the problems Remington had moving to Ilion, and explains poor quality as they were converting production to CNC. CZ also had the same issues with Dan Wesson's . . . trying to make CNC from worn original tooling specs.
My Levermatic, 1955 steel receiver, has no numbers which is kind of cool.
Very helpful Thank You.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH …………….. Just got a 336 in 30-30 with the letter "E" and now know it is a 1948 Model 😁😃👌👀 ……………… enjoy
I think you done great with this video Sir I found one that is JM stamped with a gold coin on the side of the buttstock with the guy riding the horse it was a limited edition nice looking I was wondering what that one meant sorry to bother you don't know much about marlin lever action other than they are nice looking rifles
😅😊
I got a 336 with stamped steel reciver guessing the 1970's in .30-.30 winchester.
Thank you for the info, i found out my Marlin 1895G was made in 1999.
I just bought what I thought was a model 336a but the barrel is stamped Model 36-A-DL which was a square bolt. The Serial number indicates 1948 and it has a 336 style round bolt and is a waffle top. Any ideas on this discrepancy????
Thank you!
My father in law recently passed and left me a Marlin Golden 39a 22 lever action rifle with the serial code AC 4770 underneath the lever. Did I miss how to match the year to this?
Great video, very informative. Will no doubt be referring back to this. Thanks George
What about a serial number is behind the hammer on upper tang and its just a number with no letters
Thank you so much George. My stainless 1895 45 70 was made in March of 2018 and I purchased it new in May of 2019. Great to know.Thanks again.
Thanks George ,love your Videos ,just pick up a Marlin 336 30-30 yesterday on a trade ,and 6 minutes in your Video and found out that my Marlin is a 1972 thank you .
Pawn shop told me my Marlin was back in the 80’s, but since the video, that would mean mine is actually from 2007. A little bummed it’s not as old as I had hoped, but it’s still a beautiful rifle and I still think it was worth every penny
My barrel has a S imprinted. Special smokeless steel.🤔
How about 113782?
I have 336c and first nuber is 94 was made in 94 still trying get all data right on my Lever guns . Amazing video
