[QUOTE="Huckelberry75, post: 1539384, member: 7489"] Here are a couple of options for you to work with. MARLIN Manufacturing DATE CODE. (22 caliber bolt action & semi-autos were not serial numbered prior to 1969) Firearm serial numbers were date coded by a prefix within the s/n, as signified below. For example a Marlin model 39A with a serial number of N1255X would have been made in 1955 while a 1894 in 44 magnum with a serial number of 2510509X, would have equated to 1975 LEVER ACTIONS ALL FIREARMS 1945 = C 1957 = R 1968 = AD 1981 = 19 1993 = 7 1946 = D 1958 = S 1970 = 70 1982 = 18 1994 = 6 1947 = E 1959 = T 1971 = 71 1983 = 17 1995 = 5 1948 = F 1960 = U 1972 = 72 1984 = 16 1996 = 4 1949 = G 1961 = V 1973 = 73 & 27 1985 = 15 1997 = 3 1950 = H 1962 = W 1974 = 26 1986 = 14 1998 = 2 1951 = J 1963 = Y 1975 = 25 1987 = 13 1999 = 1 1952 = K 1964 = Z 1976 = 24 1988 = 12 2000 = 0 1953 = L 1965 = AA 1977 = 23 1989 = 11 1954 = M 1966 = AB 1978 = 22 1990 = 10 1955 = N 1967 = AC 1979 = 21 1991 = 9 1956 = P 1968 = AD 1980 = 20 1992 = 8 if your M39 (not A) has a star stamped on the end of the upper tang, it means the factory gunsmithing inspector determined the rifle to be of higher grade manufacturing than the standard. Also, if the serial # has an "S" prefix, you should not shoot high velocity ammo through it. [url]http://www.oldguns.net/[/url] [/QUOTE]
