Anyone have an idea of a year of manufacture on a Marlin 336 .35 Rem? SN is 27073***

Thanks!

Should be 1973. On most Marlins made from 1970 to the present you subtract the 1st 2 digits of the SN from 100 to get the date of manufacture. There were special runs of rifles and some of the 1895's that do not fit this formula however.

Thanks for the info. I guess it will match the two Win 94's I have from '73...

AB is 1966 if I am not mistaken. My 39 is from the same year.

That one should be 2005.

wow i`m dissapointed. was told it was older. thanks for the info.

really 1966? wow that is good news for me. thank you. were can i find this info on all my lever action rifles?

i just checked it with the link you sent me it says its a 1982.

If that is the case, then the fist two of the SN should be 18.

I was cleaning my Marlin 336 30-30 today and I got to wondering when I bought it. I bought it new at a K-MART store many, many years ago. Damned if I could remember. Then I thought about the Marlin forum on the fire here. I checked in and what do I see...your formula here. So using your formula, with a serial number of 231176**, my date of manufacture would have been 1977? That sounds about the right time I would have bought it. Thanks so much for your info. It's a bitch when the memory starts to go.

It's easy to date the year of manufacture of a Marlin.
Just take the first 2 serial #'s and subtract from 100.

Marlin 336 family of rifles :

1948 -1968 a one or two letter code in serial #

1969 - 1972 the first two digits in the serial # = the year manufactured

1973 - ? the first 2 digits subtracted from 100 = year made

not sure about past the year 2000 mark
