The Mannlicher Model 1895 Rifle was adopted by the Austro-Hungarian Army in 1895. The Calvary Carbine and Short Rifle were adopted shortly thereafter. They were used through WWI and continued to see service in Austria, Hungary, and several countries post war, to include rear echelon use during WWII.

Firearm serial numbers were date coded by a prefix within the s/n, as signified below. For example a Marlin model 39A with a serial number of N12478 would have been made in 1955 while a 1894 in 44 magnum with a serial number of 25105098, would have equated to 1975.
May 08, 2017 I got an email back from Marlin about my 336 manufacturing date. The guy said there is no chart he could send me but he did say the serial number: MR22xxxC signifies a manufacture date in 2012. No other information was given. My guess is that it was manufactured in February 2012. The 1895 Marlin system was identical to the 1893 rifle invented by L. Hepburn, and was also an updated successor to the 1881 and 1889 Marlin rifles. This Marlin lever action rifle was produced starting in 1895 with 5,304 guns produced through 1906 (of which only 205 were carbines), and 18,000 manufactured through 1917.
