Hi I also own a Marlin/Glenfield model 30 cal. 30-30. the former owner says he remembers buying it sometime in 1970. and the first two digts are 70 104-- so I would think that those first two digts would show the date of manufacture. God Bless, Mike. for more info, or other questions you can e-mail me at miketheredneck38@Yahoo.com Yes, it does. Soon after that, Marlin changed to a different dating system where you subtract the first two digits from 2000 to come up with the year of manufacture. Here is a link to check mfgr dates of Marlin's. http://oldguns.net/sn_php/marlinlookup.php Brian
