Marlin 99 Date of Manufacture ???

[GregV]

I have a Marlin 99 that has no serial number and was wondering if anyone can help me with the date of manufacture? I did find some info on Wikipedia that stated the following:

"The Model 99 was offered from 1959 through 1961, and a lower priced version, Model 99G, was offered under Marlin's Glenfield line."

However, there appears to be a date code of CJ on the barrel, which when I searched that, it put it as March of 1966.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Greg V

Thanks for the info. milgunsguy!
Actually, I'm just trying to see if it can be sold as a C&R. The book probably costs more than the rifle is worth ;-)
