Re: Marlin Safety
Bmckenney;
Your rifle is most likely a Model 1893, shipped approximately mid-1895. The record for your serial number is blank, but the surrounding numbers reflect the above. The caliber of guns in the area are .32-40. .38-55 and .25-36 Marlin. The caliber should be stamped on top of the barrel, just in front of the receiver. The model marking should be stamped on the upper tang, behind the hammer.

Due to the increasing cost of ammunition, there will be no warning shot!
