New Gun.

yes

[wannabejeep]

haha is that an SKS?

Phil that gun looks badass. I love the "old timey" color of the metal. $3 a round adds up quick though.
I'll keep my eye out for some of those swinging saloon doors. You can just carry em with you and kick through em whenever you enter a room with that badboy.

Nope, you're wrong, Dan was right, it's an SKS with an extended magazine.

A Marlin levergun should be in every Collection.

Oh so anyway, sort of back on topic, I found this out with the help from some of my buddies over at Marlin Owners...

"Medium Action:

Model 1893: 1893 to 1921 or 22. PAT'D OCT. 11,1887. APRIL2.1889. AUG. 1, 1893
25-36, 30-30, 32-40 32HPS, 38-55
Some early 1893's did not have the two piece firing pin. Serial numbers are located under the receiver just behind the forearm.
Factory records ceased in 1906. Original serial numbering quit around 450,000 approx 1913. Letter designations used on 1893 during the following period were A, B, C, & D. This goes to about the 1917 WWI period. ???A=1914, B=1915, C=1916, D=1917???
Note: some 1893s were made after WWI when production of the '93 started. These were apparently made up from left over parts. 32HPS is the same cartridge as the 32 Winchester Special. Marlin didn't want to put the name Winchester on it's rifles."

Pretty good information. It was clearly made before 1914 because it has no letter designation in the serial number, so I've narrowed it down to between the dates of 1908 and 1910.
