model 1936 PCMR

[mpjustin]

hi guys, I said i would post pics when I learned how so her they are.

on the last pic it shows the detail of the case hardning but there is some numbers in the wood and on the reciever, does any one know what they mean?? and as far as insuance goes what would replacement value be on a gun like this? I have never found a PCMR marlin before, only model 94 winchesters. I have been told the marlins are rare.

 

[mpjustin]

no comments? anyone know about the numbers in the stock and what they might mean?

Its interesting that the Marlin has the C Broadarrow stamps on the right. The Winchesters have the stamp on the left side. Is there a stamp on the receiver? Winchesters are stamped on the forestock, the buttstock and the receiver.

 

[mpjustin]

the numbers are on the left side stock as well as the reciever but the arrow is on the right.. I have had a real hard time researching this, other than the amount made for them, I have yet to run into someone that has one yet.

Marlin 1936

Here's one I picked up awhile back. Same broad arrows on the right but no extra numbers. Mine was manuf. in 1943 and has been nicely cared for. Is that a new front site on yours?

I am not sure about the sight? yours looks like a carbine, mine is a rifle, thy sure would look good together how did you come across yours? I think mine dates to the same year? they only made the 1936 for so long right?

With the info I have...the marlins were unknown in number and no one knows if they were marked the same as the winchesters. The Rangers were official in Mar 1942 and the Dept of defence ordered Model 94s for them. all in the range of 1,300,000. It seems strange that the Marlins are marked on the tang as model 1936...if a serial number can be checked, would it deem the carbines manufactured in 1936? would the rangers be issued at least 6 year old guns? I have no doubts on the authenticity of the marlins but years of manuf. I question.

there were 3 veriations of 1936 models, the first was Mfg in 1937-40 second is what mine is because it has a B in the serial # was Mfg in 1941 then there was a deluxe model less than 50 mfg in 1945 and the 3rd was mfg in 1946-47

I just took that all out of the Blue book. so I guess mine was made in 1941

the article i have, makes no mention of any Marlin rifles being issued. Approx 1800 marlin carbines were thought to have been used. but at the time of the book article, no Marlin carbines, so marked, had been found. Perhaps they were amongst those guns destroyed by DND. At the conception of the Rangers, the men had used thier own guns. Perhaps the rifle was personal property thus it was marked with the mans number and company . Indeed we may never know

I was on some pcmr websight and that where it mentioned that there was limited numbers of rifles, like I said scarce things are hard to research. any other thoughts out there?? or any more knowledge of these guns??

Marlin PCMR

I have owned 2 Marlin mod. 1936 PCMR's.. one a carbine, the other a rifle. They are now owned by a well known PCMR collector and expert on PCMR memorabillia who lives in Lillouett B.C. Marlins were always stamped with the broad arrow markings on the right side - Winchesters were marked on the left. Receivers on the Marlins were harder to stamp because of the case color-hardened steel so were a little shallower in depth on the receiver. I've owned several mod. 94 Pcmr's but now only keep one Win. mod 64 Pcmr...yes, they used some mod. 64's too! Most of these guns serial number around 1941. They sure are part of Canadian history...especially for B.C. Cheers.

The numbers scratched into the stock and receiver are most likely the service number of the person it was issued to, probably inscribed by the same person.
