Hi all,
Well, Im more of a pistol guy. But, I do have a .30-30 336 that was handed down to me buy my father, who was given it by his dad. I do not know the date it was made, I think it was 1972. Does that sound right? Was that model made then? Sorry, Im real new to this.

Any-how I will say it is kinda beat up, stock is about 90% and blue is about 70%. So, I keep it clean and out of the rain. I have not shot it much in years. I took it out today and I put a little 4x zoom scoope on it, sighted it up and did a little shooting at 50, 75 and 100 yards. The bll is super clean like glass, so it shot better then it looked. I have to say it shot great, I was not thinking it would. But, I was hitting bulls eye after bulls-eye off a bench at 100 yards. I think I found a new yote gun. :-)

I could use a better scoope and the gun could look better. But, I have to say, that it kinda has a little bit of style looking rustick. Plus 4x zoom is good anuff for me, I do not think I will push it past 100 yards.

With the first two numbers of the serial # we can tell you which year it was made, it there is a letter before the serial all we need is the letter.

:-D Here is the gist of it. From about 1969 on you subtract the 1st two numbers from 2000 to get the year made.. If the 1st two are 28, it was made in 1972.. Marlin was using a letter scheme prior to that..
