the marlin owners forum would be a really good place to start on that.

JM stamp is one of the 3 most important things when shopping a used Marlin.
The other is a serial number older than 92xxxxxxx

2100 - 92 = production year 2008
2100 - 91 = production year 2009
and so now

etc you want a serial of a gun made in 08 (some 09's are good) or older, it needs a JM stamp and a CT barrel roll

but those are valuble guns to the right people, and those people are hard to find sometime, which is why i'd tell anyone intested in those types of guns to go to marlin owners forum for information.
