Marlin Firearms Corporation special smokeless steel on barrel star on tang bullseye on stock would like to know the date of manufacture or at least a good estimate

Answer:
Dave- The Model 93 was made from 1893 using the ``MOdel 1893`` name, and from 1920 to 1934 with the Model 93 designation.

They changed serial number policies several times during this period, soit is hard to date them very accurately. My guess would be sometime in the 1920s.

I inherited a Winchester model 90 .22 Short, pump action with an octagon barrel. The serial number is 245019. It is in good condition and works well. Just normal wear. I would like to know the year it was made and maybe even an approximate value.

Answer:
Gerald. your 1890 was manufactured in 1905. For value, check Gun Broker (https://www.gunbroker.com/) for rifles like yours in similar condition that have sold (not rifles that have been listed but not sold). Marc

hello, i recently received an old bolt action rifle from my wife whose grandfather passed away, and there`s no make or model info on the rifle, only what i assume is the serial number 55592, i was hoping someone flcould help me get the info on this rifle

Answer:
Bobby- Thanks for the photos, they help a lot.

Your rifle is a WW2 Japanese Type 99 ``Arisaka`` rifle made by Nagoya Arsenal very late in the war. These were the standard Japanese military rifle of WW2, and huge numbers were brought home by veterans. Many, like this one, were altered for sporting use, (``sporterized``) which pretty much destroys collector value. They were made in 7,7mm Japanese caliber and ammunition is not readily available today.

The bolt is missing from this one, so cash value is almost nothing (maybe $25-35), as the parts you have just are not very useful. If you had the bolt that would add about $50 to the value for someone looking for bolt parts.

While this may have (or had) sentimental value to some family members, it really has no practical value today.

Unless some youngster wants something ``play army with`` or a youngster has some interest in history.

Hope that helps. John
