Marlin 30-30- What Do I have

[PdwGA]

I know this question has been asked many many times; sorry for asking again. I have really tried to determine myself with all the information available to determine which marlin model i have and the date of mfg. I inherited a 30-30 from my father. He had it for 50+ years. It has a 26” barrel, cased hardened receiver and lever, Target “Dot” on underside of stock
“Marlin Safety” on top of receiver, “Special Smokeless Steel” on left side of barrel below rear site.
Top of Barrel, “-Marlin Firearms Co. New - Haven. CT. U.S.A.-
Patent date Line “-PAT’D OCT. 11. 1887. April 2. 1889. AUG.1.1893.
Then serial “7694” is in two locations. Lower tang covered by the lever when closed and on the top left side tang only visible when the stock is off.

The gun will not fire. The firing pin is striking the primer and leaving a slight dimple. I am trying to source a new hammer main spring and don’t know which gun i have. Some work was performed on the gun years ago including re-case hardening and a new spring. I don’t know if it worked well after then.

Any advice yall can give on Model or age would be appreciated and any advice on main spring would be helpful. The main spring is a flat curved steel spring. Not coiled

PdwGA;

From your description, you have a Marlin Model '93 that would have been manufactured sometime between 1922 ( bullseye ) and sometime after that up to about 1935.
The hammer spring is a flat style spring, and the firing pin is in 2 pieces. Check with Wisner's Inc ( www.wisnersinc.com ) to see if they have new firing pins and spring.

The breech bolt where the firing pin sits in has two drift pins that go into the bolt to secure the two firing pin parts. Those pins can be drifted down or up using a small drift punch to allow removal of the two firing pin pieces. Usually the rear rarely breaks, and it's the front more often. But the channel the pins travels in can get a lot of burnt powder built up inside the hole. Once you've removed the firing pin use a brass bristle brush and solvent on a cleaning rod to clean out the bore of the bolt if the firing pin parts aren't broken.
