*While potentially not relevant to this specific thread. Speculation is that once receivers started being manufactured at the Ilion plant the prefix became MR. This was done in conjunction with the sale of Marlin, and subsequent move to the Remington plant in Ilion, NY. Sometime in 2011 the serial number prefix became MR. No commercial manufacture from sometime in 1941/’42 until 1945, due to WWII production & retooling.
Too confusing with the number 1, and 0 - zero) (Notice there are no “I”, “O”, or “Q” serial number prefixes in use. If your rifle has the single letter “V” serial number prefix, that indicates a 1962 year of manufacture. Only those manufactured from 1941 through 2011 which have serial numbers on them and with the caveat mentioned elsewhere in this blog. Please note this list is NOT INCLUSIVE of all Marlin firearms. Here is a chart for some of the older Marlins. Example, first two numbers "17", would indicate 1983. On the "modern" Marlins, take the first two numbers of the serial number and subtract that number from 100.
