I hope this helps all Marlin owners:

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. Pick a model from the left hand menu. Makarov 8mm Pistol Serial Numbers and Date of Manufacture; Manhattan Fire Arms Co.31 Pocket,.36 Navy,22 Pocket; Marlin Model 39 Serial number prefixes; Marlin- The Collector's GUide to Serial Numbers and Technical Information; Marlin Firearms; Mossberg did not put serial numbers on most long guns until 1968 (GCA 1968 required them). It is labeled 'Marlin Safety' on the top of the receiver, and 'Model 93' on the upper tang. The barrel, along with the address line, has 'Special Smokeless Steel' on it. According to the table above, the model 93 stopped production in 1934. Under the lever is stamped the serial number, which is four digits and the letter'C'.

Our database contains values of serial numbers for dates of manufacture from 1948 through 1968 or serial numbers through ADxxx. Enter the serial number of your Marlin 336 in the box below.

Marlin Year of Manufacture
Marlin year of manufacture maybe determined from the following list of letter/numeral prefixs to the serial number; this coding only applies to serialized rifles:
1946-C
1947-D
1948-E
1949-F
1950-G
1951-H
1952-J
1953-K
1954-L
1955-M
1956-N
1957-P
1958-R
1959-S
1960 (August)-1961-U
1961 (August)-1962-V
1963-W
1964-Y,-Z
1965-AA
1966-AB
1967-AC
1968-AD, -68
1969-69
1970-70
1971-71
1972-72
Starting in 1973, the year of manufacture maybe determined by subtracting the first two digits of the serial number from 100:
Example: SN 2512345 would have been made in 1975 [100 - 25 = 75] and SN 94365295 would have been made in 2006 [ 100 - 94 = 06 (2006) ].
For Marlin Rimfire Rifles [non-serialized]:
From 1962 thru 1968 Marlins rimfire rifles (other than the 39 series lever actions) used a two letter date code that was stamped on the barrel. This date code is different than the one already listed, as Marlin rimfire rifles (other than the model 39 series) did not have a serial numbers until required to by Law after 1968. The first letter of the date code represented the month of manufacture while the second letter indicated the year. This date code was usually stamped on the left side of the barrel just in front of the receiver. The first letter of the date code is as follows:
A = Jan.
B = Feb.
C = Mar.
D = Apr.
E = May
F = June
G = July
H = Aug.
I = Sep.
J = Oct.
K = Nov.
L = Dec.
The second letter of the date code is as follows:
F = 1962
G = 1963
H = 1964
I = 1965

Marlin Model 92 Serial Numbers

J = 1966
K = 1967
L = 1968

So a date code of 'JK' would indicate that rifle was made in October of 1967.
