[BLK RIFLE]

I have a Marlin 39A that my Dad won for selling the most shotgun shells at the wholesaler where he worked when I was a kid. I am 72 now. The serial number is J3437. Could anyone tell me when it was made. I'd appreciate it.

Looks like 1951. Hope that helps.
And, welcome to the forum.

I have J as 1952.

 

[oldbrass]

your rifle was made in 1951.
welcome to the forum, I bet that you have a lot of memories with that .22

You decide.

Go to this site, type J in the box for 1948 and newer. http://www.wisnersinc.com/index.html

is the serial number located under the lever because my 39-A has c 3991 under the lever but i cant find it on any website
