Marlin Model 93

[Vintedge70]

I have a Marlin lever 30-30 model 93. It says Marlin Firearms Co. on the octagon barrel. It says Model 93 on the stock tang. The barrel measures 20". No bulls eye or star. The serial is A1593 under the lever. I have shot this gun and it shoots and operates perfectly. The case hardening is mostly gone.
Anyone know the year and value? '20's; 30s?

With the serial number under the lever, and no bullseye, it most likely is in the 1921/1922 time frame.

Unfortunately it's impossible to even give a wild estimate of the value with simply the model as info. We'll need pictures, a very good description of the bore, and whatever else you can provide to give a estimate.

I would love to post some pictures of my old Marlins but can't figure out how to do ...HELP!

Look at the section titled "NO LONGER GUEST QUESTIONS". There is a post titled on how to post photos.

Here's pics of my old Marlin Model 93 (hope they post) - still trying to figure when it was made...I have shot it - very very accurate and fun to shoot!
It's serial A1593; Marlin Firearms Co., Model 93; no bullseye; metal S-shaped on the stock; 20 inch Octagon barrel; smokeless steel; says 30-30 on the top of the barrel...

Any restrictions on ammo for these old Marlin 30-30's? such as the Model 93's?

There are no restrictions on your 93 as long as it is in good condition. Your gun looks pretty good and factory ammo would be fine.
