The Marlin 57M (22 magnum Levermatic) was made from 1959 to 1969. 66,889 of them were made. Marlin did not put serial numbers on them so it is impossible to tell exactly when one was made. The earliest production had steel (squared) receivers, then it was changed to a rounded aluminum receiver for a short time. For the the final and longest period they went back to the squared steel receiver. All of them were drilled and tapped for scopes.
