Ah! So that's what a Model 45 is. I must be sheltered, because I've never seen one. Welcome from your neighbor to the north, KY!

 

Welcome..and.congrats....that.is.a.fine.Marlin.through.and.through....Ive.had.and.have.store.branded.marlins.and.they.are.some.of.the,finest.I.own.......yours.most.likely.was.made.in.the.60's.....give.us.the.first.two.digits.of.the.serial.and.we.can.tell.for.sure.....Sorry.my.spacebar.is,busted,LOL!

 

serial # is w34xxx
Glad you like it! and maybe you should buy a new keyboard?

 

that.would.cut.into.my.gun.money....besides....it's.a.laptop!:biggrin:

 

Welcome from the Republic of Texas...

 

here.is.my.store.branded.Westernfield!

born.in.1967...walnut,and.bluing.second.to.none!

 

DANG that's pretty!

 

 

Did you just find it laying in the woods like that and decide to keep it?

 

something.like.that.

 

So any idea how old my sears model 45 is?

 

your.gun....1963

 

Nice rifle gvogue, Don't think I've ever seen one of the Sears Mdl 45 but I know they made them, it's the same as the 336C I do believe. Thanks for the picture. I believe it's from 1966 but someone will correct me if I'm wrong. You're going to love the .35 Rem. Great caliber!

 

Welcome from an old hunter.

 

Nice... anyone have any idea what it is worth? I traded a $200 guitar for it.

 

you.stole.it.buddy!....congrats

 

safely..valued.at.twice.your.trade+

 

Really? Heck yeah! What makes this rifle "safely" worth at least $400?

 

every.day.of.the.week.........easy!

 

Also.being.in.the.35rem.is.a.bonus.as.less.were.produced.

 

But why is it that valuable?

 

never.said.it.was.valuable......less.35rem.were.produced.as.to.30/30....so.they.are.more.rare.........there.is.a.collectors.market.out.there.for.the.store.branded.guns.....some.fellas.seek.them.because.there.were.less.produced.and.obviously.not.made.anymore........any.35rem.in.decent.condition.is.worth.$400.min...in.my.neck.of.the.woods.

 

ah. Good to know. Anybody have a second opinion?

 

Yep, I'll second Fran's opinion. All day, every day. Nice find. Hope you have another Geetar, but you did well on the rifle and caliber.

 

I'm just curious because I'm by no means a collector. I will probably sell it and I'm curious as to what I should try to get for it.

 

Excellent point^

 

However, a more excellent point ^^

 

the.letter.prefixes.on.serial.numbers.ended.in.1968.with"AD"....after.that.you.use.the.two.digit.subtraction.for.born.on.date

 

Welcome from Goldthwaite, TX! Glad you're here! John
