Lawdog Dago Dom Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Was online looking for some Marlin 1894 parts. Nothing major, just some small screws, ejector, extractor, etc. that can get lost easy or fail during a match. One supplier asked if the Marlin was made before 2009. I didn't know there was a cutoff year. So I started looking for a site to run my serial number to get a manufacture date. Can't find that either. One I found would not go later than 2002. Sooooo, any help on the serial number, and part source would be appreciated. Thanks, Dom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyesa Horg Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I got my spare parts from Midway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 One quick way to determine what parts for what gun is look for the “JM” on the barrel. The JM would denote a Marlin built in 2008 or earlier. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been forgetting a lot lately. Sunday I was looking for a pair of jeans. Turned out I was wearing them. Just trying to get used to a house with no dog. Much too quiet.

Looks like the Marlin was born in 1983. Thanks everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 MidwayUSA has been my go-to source for Marlin parts. But they have less every time I check in. But they still have a lot. https://www.midwayusa.com/rifle-parts/br?cid=23854 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their Marlin 1894 page said: All parts listed in this category are specific to the Marlin Model 1894 rifles made post 2009 unless otherwise noted. These will have a "REP" proof mark on the right side of the barrel. It is recommended that all parts be fit by a qualified gunsmith. Please scroll down for a complete list of all parts available. Since mine was made in 1983, I figured I needed to look elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Depending on part, many will Interchange. What are you looking for? OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdog Dago Dom Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 ejector, extractor, lever screw, mag tube end cap screw, etc. Just want to have some parts on hand that are: a, get a lot of wear and tear and breaking would disable the gun, or b. are small and could easily be lost during disassembly at a match. Not looking to fill a tackle box with parts, just a few just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 The ejector changed in the late 70s. Those parts you want are all pretty much the same today, as from then. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
