Subtracting the 1st digits of the SN from 100 works on MOST of them made from 1972 up until Remington started making them. There are a few exceptions with some special runs made during that time.

Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

There's no info on the serial number starting with 08 on OldGuns.net, so I'm guessing it's a Remlin. If it's a Remington made Marlin you have to date it by the two letter code stamped in the barrel. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/zD9m65Gt/Screenshot-20240129-114848-Samsung-Internet.jpg)

Oldguns.net has incomplete information. I have one with a serial number that starts with 08 and the barrel is stamped JM. I purchased it lightly used in 1997.
