marlin model 81-dl .22 bolt action rifle

[hdxl1200c]

Hey can anyone tell me how old this gun is? I just inherited this gun from my great grand father and was just curious about it.

The model 80 was produced from 1934 to 71. The model 81 is the same gun except with the tubular mag instead of a box mag. It's not much help but it may be a starting point

Actually the model 81 is still being made and if you really want to know the date of MFR you'll have to send the serial # to Marlin and ask them.

Winchester is the only company that I know of that has a dating service on their website.
