I have a 30-30 passed down through the wife's family and need help with it so here it goes.
Stock: varnished walnut,straight not pistol grip.Butt plate is plastic with Marlin logo and white spacer also has Bulls Eye.

Reciver: Square bolt, Marlin Safety on top. Square lever with no blueing anywhere on lever. Reciver retains 90% blueing.
Top tang has star and Marlin model 93.
Bottom Tang has star and serial number 2265 NO prefix or sufix.No other markings on the reciver.

Barrel: 20" round barrel with hooded ramped front sight. Rear sight is what I would call semi buckhorn with adjustable bee
Screw on the right side.
Barrel markings as followers. Top line

It's neither. It's a "Frankenstein". A Model '93 rear half that someone rebarreled with a Model 36 barrel. Still a great gun to shoot, but no collector value anymore.

Thank you for the quick reply. Next question What year would the model 93 reciver with a 2265 be from?

Slo;

With no prefix to the serial number, figure about 1921 or 1922.
