Also, within a model family the same serial number prefix may be used to produce a variety of different models, all in the same block of serial numbers.
#Marlin firearm serial number lookup model 55 serial numbers
There are occasions when blocks of serial numbers have been manufactured out of sequence, sometimes years later. Ruger does not necessarily produce firearms in serial number order. It can be used to determine the approximate year your Ruger firearm was It is not necessarily the very first serial number shipped, but This number should be used as a point of reference The above chart shows the approximate first serial number shipped for If the model being dated wasn't made during the listed years of the letter prefixes, then other indicators rule - like looking at the "years produced" for said model, combined with the "total production", which would allow a qualified exterpolation of the DOM based upon so many units produced per year (on average) - in the absence of factory records to the contrary.Calibers: 204 Ruger, 218 Bee, 22 Hornet, 222 Rem, 223, 22PPC, 22-250 Rem, 220 Swift, 6mmPPC, 6mm Rem, 243, 257, 25/06, 264, 270 Win, 270 Weatherby, 280, 65 Rem, 6.5-284, 7x57, 7mm Rem, 7mm STW, 7mm/08, 30-06, 30-40 Krag, 300 H&H, 300 Weatherby, 300 Win Mag, 308 Win, 338 Win Mag, 357 Mag, 375 H&H, 38-55 Win, 404 Jeffrey, 405 Win, 416 Rem, 416 Rigby, 45-70 Govt, 450 Marlin, 458 Win, 458 Lott You're applying the table backwards, letting the SN letter prefix overrule the production years of a particular model. Under the lever is stamped the serial number, which is four digits and the letter"C".Īccording to the table, that makes it manufactured in 1945. The barrel, along with the address line, has "Special Smokeless Steel" on it.Īccording to the table above, the model 93 stopped production in 1934. It is labeled "Marlin Safety" on the top of the receiver, and "Model 93" on the upper tang.
I bought an old Marlin lever-action in 30-30 a few years ago and it doesn't seem to match that table. Jfwlb wrote:I have a question regarding this table. You see completed rounds for the 32 Long Colt or 32 Short Colt look just like 22 rimfire ammo but of course a tad larger meaning the bullet sits in the case the same way. That thing was a hoot to shoot once I finally coralled dies, 32 Long Colt brass and a Lyman 90 grain heel mold to cast bullets for the thing. The little Model 92 32 cal Marlin I had was THE FIRST pre 1920 Marlin I ever owned. They also made the 32 cal in the Model 1891 which obviousely came out before the model 1892, however they did seem to make them in several overlapping years. I had a pair of 32's in a Model 1892 and a later Model 92 with firing pins for both rim and centerfire. It's how you take the sideplate off to change the firing pin to go from rimfire to centerfire or vice versa. The one thats a Model 1892 in 32 cal with the "take down knob" as you call it isn't a take down knob.
Both have the take-down knob on the right side of the receiver which I associate with the Mdl 39, but I believe that they are chambered in. One is a Marlin 1892, and the other does not have any model designation. Jfwlb wrote:I also have a couple of older Marlins that I need to get working again. I really like the "vintage" way it looks, but would like it much better if I could get it to make some noise.Īnd yes, I know that pictures are pretty much required:(even if they are lousy and too dark) It has a 20" round barrel and a half-magazine. I believe that the firing pin is broken because it has no problems feeding and ejecting, just no "Boom" when I pull the trigger, and no marks on the primer. Any idea which date is correct?Īnd for those interested, it appears to be in pretty good condition, although it will not fire. According to the table, that makes it manufactured in 1945.
