My girlfriend's mother inherited an old Marlin 94 from her father when he passed away this year. It's a .38-40 with a serial number of 622. It was refurbished by the Marlin company in the 1970's and they wanted to buy it back from him because it was one of the original model 1894's supposedly. I'm not sure exactly what year it was made because the serial numbers are a little screwy when I was trying to look it up. Supposedly they restarted the serial numbers in the 1920's or something?
Also, where would be the best place to find ammo for the .38-40's, because her mother loves shooting and will go through the 50 or so rounds that came with it fairly quickly. I've only ever seen a few ancient boxes at gunshops once in a while for outrageous prices.
Any helps apprieciated.
