Marlin Firearms was bought out by Remington Firearms. They then moved production out of New Haven Conn. In the last year there have been many reports of poorly manufactured firearms. I purchased a Marlin 70PT last year, Nov. 2011, through Gunbroker.com. The front sight had been installed at an angle and the micro-grooving was not cut in the barrel. I sent in in for repair. Marlin said they would replace the gun but I may not see it until March. Remington took over the repair. I knew the 70PT was no longer in production but they insisted it was. In March I contacted them again, they said, the 70PT was not being produced and would I like a 70PSS. But, I would have to wait because they've had "Production problems". It's been five months with no replacement in sight.
But almost certainly true. Marlin serial lists are available only back to 1883, and that year began with 4001. Marlin used a single set of serial numbers for all models. No! You can't use Brophy's list for guns made after 1906. After WWI the newly formed Marlin Firearms Corporation started the serial numbers all over again. If your gun's barrel is marked, "Marlin Firearms Corporation" it is made in the mid to late 1920's. If it is marked, "Marlin Firearms Co." it was made in the early 1920's. If it has this same Marlin Firearms Co. marking on the barrel, but also has the "bullseye" in the buttstock, it is post 1924-1930 era. All Marlins marked "Model '93" on the top tang were made after WWI. The catalogs designated the change from 1893 to '93 in around 1905, but too many receivers with the early marking were already made up, so the new marking of '93 wasn't used until after WWI. marlinguy@juno.com
If you are asking about the Mini Copper, it came out in 1959 and ceased production in 2000. Production started again in 2001.
Serial number records for Marlins built after 1906 are not recorded. At WWI Marlin Firearms Co. was sold, and again after WWI, so serial numbers were started over, with prefix letters. Your gun could be from anywhere between 1922, and 1935, but with the B prefix, and tang marking of "Model 1893", I'd guesstimate it to be in the earlier part of that range.
The Aston Martin V12 Vanquish started production in 2001 and continued with production until 2007. Aston Martin started production of the Vanquish again in 2012 and continues until today.
