The Marlin model 100 was a promotional model single shot that was made from 1936-1941.It should be marked either .22s(short)22L(long) or .22LR(long rifle) some where on the barrel.IT may also be marked 22s L LR.which indicates that it will accept all 3 different ammo makes of 22.
The marlin model 781 was chambered for the .22 long rifle.
The marlin model 1893 rifle was only made from 1893-1936.It was the first Marlin rifle made for smokeless powder.I would say that your rifle was not made in 1946 though.You may have a Marlin model 36 rifle,which would handle any commericial made ammo on the market today.
In order to determine what ammo is appropriate for your Marlin rifle,i Would need to know what model of marlin you have?Is it a model 1889,1893 etc.I would also need to know what markings are found on the barrel(40-60,38-40,40-65 etc.)this will all assist in the correct ammo for the rifle in question.Please repost your question with the info required to help you determine the correct ammo for your rifle.

you should not use 32 Winchester special ammo in a 32-40 rifle! these are two complete different cartridges and you may injure yourself,and blow up a otherwise fine old marlin rifle.one of the major manufactures still load 32-40 ammo from time to time.check with Winchester,Remington or federal.There is also some small company,s that make hard to find ammo which the 32-40 is becoming,so look to the internet for your ammo.
The winchester 25-35 Cartridge CAN be safely fired in a 25-36 Marlin caliber firearm. They are similar cartridges, the Marlin is a bit longer. For that reason the Marlin ammo cannot be fired in the Winchester.
