    Remove the rear tang sight and your model number should be there under the tang. The rear stock looks non original to me. Which will cut value some. Looks like a Model 29 to me.

    Are you referring to the pop-up sight? I'm not too familiar with the wording...I'm not the owner...selling it for a friend of mine. If I unscrew it I will see it? Very weird about the stock. What type of stock dpoes it appear to be? Thanks for your help!

    Yes, and yes. Model # should be under the rear sight.(only one I see on the gun). The stock looks home-made to me.

    Ok...I took the sight off. Now I guess it gets interesting. Now what? So we are saying it's a Model 37 receiver and a non-marlin stock?

    Your rifle made between 1913-1916 and yes looks like hand made replacement stock[:(]. In the condition it is in a nice old shooter but not really worth that much. . Check the bore it might have been used with black powder cartridges and if so and not cleaned in a timely manner the bore could really be sad.

    As per my 2008 Gun Traders Guide, a Model 37 in Good condition is worth about $186.00. That would be with an original buttstock. However, yours has a rear tang peep sight. Probably a non original add-on. But a desirable accessory. Especially old ones. I would think that it would likely offset the value drop due to the stock.
    Also, Marlin made several models of this .22 Pump action repeater type. And I believe that the buttstocks interchange on all of them. Certainly most. If you watch the auctions, you should be able to find an original Marlin replacement stock. Probably for $50. or less. Try to match the finish as best you can.

    The ones over on the auction side must have a gold mine hid in them!

    Yeah, I find that the gun values books are a good resource for year of MFG info etc. But not so much on values. The auctions are the best place to find ACTUAL real world values.
    And remember. MOST of the buyers will pay shipping and FFL receiver costs on top of the bid amount.
