Thanks for the advice though.

I've got one, but it doesn't meet your vintage requirements and has some where on the underside of the stock. Mine is a '99 (S/N 01XXXXX) I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Remington took over Marlin (and quality went down the tubes) in late 2007/early 2008. I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Not too many floating around anymore that don't have that stupid cross bolt safety on them, shame. Good luck! Black Cows Matter!
