I would google it. What years is this marlin with this serial #. It works for old Winchesters.

Here's a good site for looking up manufacture years based on serial number.

Marlin Manufacture Dates

Thanks but i dont have the full SN. and it says on there All Marlins manufactured from 1969 to 1990:
The first two digits of the serial number designate the year of manufacture, either as the last two digits of the year (in 1969-71) or as a number code (1971 and later)..

Enter ONLY the LETTER CODE or the FIRST TWO digits of the serial number below.

So does that mean if its after 1990 it wont work? or does that mean i should ask the seller for the first 2 #'s of the SN?
