Is this it?

 

Here are cropped parts of the 1935, and 1936 catalog.

The Model 50 was the first, and shot from an open bolt.
They then came out with the A-1 in 1936.

If it is the 50, extra mags, are $100+.

Thanks for the info. This one looks to be a Model A-1 . It's in pretty good shape for its age. Is there anyway to find out when this one was made ? Are these guns fairly reliable ? I might like to have it just for it's neatness factor. I don't know what they will be asking for it. They also took one other rifle in with it. A Rem 521T Jr. model. Still has it's Lyman 57 sight on it. It was made in 1948. Some kid inherited his grandfathers 's guns and went straight to the pawn shop with them. A shame.

 

That's how a lot of them get back into circulation.

 

The A-1, A-1E was made from 1936-40.
The A-1C, A-1DL was made from 1941-47.

On both sets of models they changed the stock design.
So if you had pictures I might be able to get closer, by checking out the Marlin catalogs from those years.

If it was a Model 50. I would give you at least 300.00+ for it. Been searching for a 50 for years. Found one for 500.00 last year at the local show. But it was far from pristine, and way out of my range financially.

 

I will try to get back there and see if they will let me take some pictures of it. I'm pretty sure it is a closed bolt gun. I only have 16 22 rifles , and only 3 of them are Marlins . As you can see , I need more. If his price is reasonable , I will own It. Sorry SDM , I have a weakness. Heck , I will probably buy the 521T also. You guys have been a wealth of information.

 

No problem, I have a weakness for Marlins too. I do not even have 300.00 anyway,LOL

Good Luck, hope you get it bought and it turns out to be a Model 50. You will have hit the jackpot then.

 

Let us know how the purchase goes.

 

Will do. It should come out in about 30 days. Will try for pictures.

 

Well, still no pictures , but we have agreed upon a price . I will own it in 19 days. Seventy-five dollars. Can't pass that up. This gun is just like the above picture of the A-1 above, but no checkering on it. Plain stock . Very clean rifle , the bore looks good as well as I can tell. The gun is about 85 percent , with no rust . I will put up pictures of it when I get it.

 

Sounds like you got a great deal. Cant wait to see pictures!
