Since they wanted to now exceed 1000 rifles, there was not enough room for 9 digits. At the 200 mark I noticed on the engineering spec sheet the serial number “was supposed to be 60DL0001” not 60DLX001. When I programmed the laser software, I was informed we were only going to make 500-1000 of these rifles and took it for granted that the serial # started with 60DLX. The first 200 rifles only have 3 numeric digits as follows, 60DLX000 thru 200 as compared to 60DL0201 thru 9999. I was the manufacturing engineer on this project and this rifle was my responsibility to get it into production.īy error the first 200 rifles have a special serial number due to an oops/mistake in the serial # setting in the laser engraving machine. I knew this was going to be a topic/discussion someday, so here is an explanation of what happened at Marlin with the serial numbers. Here is some information & trivia I thought you might find interesting and useful.
