How do you oil a nail gun?

As per the instructions of the nail guns that I own, after every use it is a good idea to place to place a few drops of lubrication oil into the stem of the compressed air connection. This way the oil, with the help of compressed air, will travel through the remainder of the nail gun.

Usually a SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) 20 oil is recommended. Your local hardware store will usually carry a generic air tool lubricant which should be just fine.

Here is one example: http://www.cpocampbellhausfeld.com/accessories/air_accessories/oils/st1270.html

What is the year of a Marlin 30-30 Model 1936 with a Y under the hammer and a small H or numeral I and serial number 5453 under the lever?

More than likely that is not an "h" under the lever, as that would mean 1949, and the 1936 model was not made any time after WWII. Most likely it's a poorly stamped "b" and that would make the date 1940, which would be correct for a model 1936.
