    I doubt we can find any info whatsoever even with your serial number. Yes, they used Marlins too...forgot that one. There were stories of others too, just depended on where geographically you were located. Don't know about the current owners of the #4s. I wouldn't let them keep them, I'd recall them and sell them to us here...
    Regards, Jim

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Very nice rifle. Interesting that the "C Broad Arrow" Canadianicon ownership markings are double stamped on both the metal and wood.

    Best part is I had no idea of its Canadian background when I bought it. The more I learn about it, the more I get convinced the gun gods were smiling on me that day!!

    These rifles also tend to fetch some crazy money up here. I remember when you couldn't give them away. My brother sold his (albeit in rough shape) for $65 about 10yrs ago. FWIW, I paid $400 for this one after some dickering on the asking price.

    Just noticed it now. Small 'S' on receiver under blocked out serial number. No idea what it signifies. Anyone?

    Now you need a P'07 bayonet with the Canadianicon ownership mark to go with it!

    I tend not to post serial numbers out of habit however would it help at all?
    Yeah, I have seen a couple Marlin 36 rifles marked as PCMR rifles also Winchester 64's as well.
