I know this has been asked and answered before but I can no longer access the old forum to search.
What do the letters mean on Marlins following the model number.
i.e. 1894T, 1894C etc.
Thanks in advance

AFAIK, It's not all in one place, and is usually gleaned through experience - but here's what I believe a few to be (I'm sure there's more):
A = Rifle
C = Carbine
D = Davidson's edition, and some M-39's
G = Guide Gun
M = 1895 in 450 Marlin.
P = Ported, used with 444 and 1894
S = Sporter, .44 Mag 1894 & 444 Marlin
T = Texan, 336 & 444 rifles with straight stock & square levers
AS = Birchwood stocked rifles
AW = Walmart special
CB = Cowboy (octagon barrels)
CL = Classic, Limited
ER = Extended Range (.356 Win caliber)
FG = .41 Magnum Model 1894
MR = 450 Marlin Rifle ILO say, a .450M Guide Gun (M)
RC = Regular Carbine
SC = Sporting Carbine (2/3 mag, pistol grip)
SS = Originally used with 444 Marlin, now all Sporter w/Safety
SS = Stainless Steel (sometimes confused with Sporter Safety)
LTD = Limited Edition
XLR = Extra Long Range (24", lamo stock, stainless)
*** = Stamped on both ends of the model designates a Ballard Barrel vs. the MicroGroove Barrel. i.e, *** 444P ***
