Can anyone give me a rough history timeline on the model 80. I've got on without serial number, is not grooved for scope mounts.

Well....

Model 80 1934-1939
Model 80E 1934-1940
Model 80C 1940-1970
Model 80DL 1940-1965
Model 80G 1960-1965

But- this came out of the Bluebook..... and there is a chance there are some errors or omissions. I have both an80DL and an 81DL- neither has a serial number. I swear one was bought new by my Dad in the 70's. Could be off.

Hope this helps.

I believe I answered my own questions. Did a little research. My gun does not have a suffex to the model #80. With that i believe it was manufactured prior to 1953, when micro groove barells were manufactured. Does this sound right? Also my receiver does not have the scope mount grooves cut into it. This should make it mfg. prior to the mid 50s.

Was the Marlin model 80 sold under the name Ranger model 36?

I have one that dosent have the scope grooves either. Mine has the fore arm of the stock that gets wider than the rest of the stock. These were pre WW2. Dont have a exact date. You can see the stock the second one down

I have a JCHiggins that list as a model 103.228-22Cal. I bought it in 1954 at the age of 12. I paid for it with money I earned standing at the door of Sears handing out fliers for a perfumed kiosk during Christmas vacation. It has no serial number and is groved for a scope.
