you load the gun in the buttstock
If you have the Marlin model 88-C model,this promotional model semi-auto .22cal rifle was made from 1948-1956.If you have the model 88-DL model,this was made from 1953-1956.
SN's not required before 1968
The value of a Martin Model 88 .22 caliber rifle is between $100 and $300 depending on its overall condition. There rifles are commonly used by new shooters and for small game hunting.
65-100 dollars,depending on overall condition,and a good bore.
he Marlin Model 88 was made from 1948 to 1956. It was replaced by the Model 89. The Model 88 was one of Marlin's less expensive guns, and therefore did not get serialized. Prior to passage of the Gun Control Act of 1968, guns were not required to have serial numbers, and Marlin did not serialize many of the less expensive models. It required an extra manufacturing step that added to the cost, so it was omitted. The Model 88 would have had American black walnut used for the stock.
Good shape it's worth $350-$400 ( 400 in mint condition.)
In top shape, $100. sales@countrygunsmith.net EDIT: Ill take it if your in Canada. born-2-act@hotmail.com
Try Numrich gun parts
Yes, it says on the barrel, .22 S, L, LR. They will feed from the clip as well. Mid 80's Marlin Model 25 will as well. Post '88 Marlin Model 25N rifles will not feed them from the magazine. Just read the barrel if you are not sure which model you have.
The Marlin Model 88 was made from 1947-1956. The Model 88-DL has peep sights, and was made from 1953-1956. Your question on repairs is too broad to answer. Most .22 rimfire ammunition is fairly dirty. If a good cleaning and light lubrication will not fix your problem, you need to find a gunsmith to examine your rifle and fix the problem. Marlin DOES have owners manuals for many of their firearms available free at their website. I am looking for a book that has the descriptions of how to disassemble and reassemble the firearm so that I don't have to take them to a gunsmith as I have the ability to fix them myself if only I had the correct information at hand
Best left to a gunsmith
it was made in 1988 To get the age of a 336 made after 1948 but before 2000, subtract the first two digits from 100. (100-22=88)
