Hello everyone!
My name is Ryan, I just graduated the Riverside Sheriffs Academy and I was hoping to obtain some information on my great grandfathers rifles that I have inherited. I have done much research on the "outerweb" but no two answers are consistent. I was hoping to find out a back story and possibly value on 2 rifles.
The first rifle is a Marlin Model 1936 .30-30 Lever Action. A gunsmith told me today that it is an ADL Delux produced in 1945 only and less then 50 were produced. I do not know the accuracy of his information. I tried to take the best pictures possible. The serial number starts with B 3### The barrel is 20" long, making me think it is the carbine version because of the full length mag tube.
The second one is a Marlin .22 cal (L, S and LR) NO. 47. Patent March 1908. The stock and slide are checkered. Serial number 4###. Inside the receiver the serial number is only 3 digits 4## From what I read, this rifle was only issued in 1931 if one bought 4 shares of Marlin stock valued at $100 and was never released for general sale to the public and therefore is not very common. It still has VERY strong tiger-striped case hardening on the receiver.
Any ideas?
If anyone needs better pictures taken, I'd be more then happy to.
Thank you again =)
