Look for the inlaid white & black 'bullseye' on the butt-stock.....
From what I've been told, Remington may have started adding these again so don't rely solely on that.
Yes, the key word being Remington....
so if you find a Marlin with a bullseye, go for it......![]()
I can say that my 9120### gun is a Marlin made in 2009 but a 9180### is a Remlin made with extra Marlin parts. This was confirmed by a call to Marlin.
A Remlin will have a proofmark on the right side of the barrel and be an oval containing REP. Marlins have a JM on the left.
So my SBL is a 9180### and has a JM Proof on barrel...but I guess according to you(and Remington) that its a remlin???![]()
