![]() Starting in 1973, the year of manufacture can be determined by subtracting the first two digits of the serial number from 100: Example: SN 2512345 would have been made in 1975. Marlin year of manufacture maybe determined from the following table of letter/numeral prefixs to the serial number: It is also valid for determining most other Marlin firearm build dates from 1946 to the present. The following table can be used to date the year of manufacture of a Marlin 336. I just wonder why Brophy did not list the Model RC or mention it in the book. The serial number is on the lower tang on this one. It would be interesting to see if the 1968 catalog referenced a Model RC. ![]() I have a Carbine: Model 336RC with the Serial Number starting with 68 951XX. On page 250 it indicates that from 1948 – 1983 the carbine was designated 336C. Why does my 336 serial number start with 68 951XX.Īlso I cannot find in the book where they refer to a Model 336RC. If the serial number production year of 1968 was pre-fixed by using the letters AD and the 1969 production year started with 69000000. To comply with the new federal firearms law of 1968 Marlin adopted a system of an eight-digit number, with the first two digits identifying the year of production.įrom 1969 to 1972, the first two digits of the serial number were the last two digits for the year. I was reading the Marlin Bible (Marlin Firearms by Brophy) on page 629 it indicates that from 1948 through 1968 the Serial Numbers were pre-fixed using a letter.
