The serial number depending on the model of rifle, will be located either on the upper or lower stock tang, or side of the receiver.

From 1962 thru 1968 Marlins rimfire rifles (other than the 39 series lever actions) used a two letter date code that was stamped on the barrel. This date code is different than the one already listed, as Marlin rimfire rifles (other than the model 39 series) did not have a serial numbers until required to by Law after 1968. The first letter of the date code represented the month of manufacture while the second letter indicated the year. This date code was usually stamped on the left side of the barrel just in front of the receiver.

When was a Marlin Model 60 22 caliber LR Rifle made with serial number 20380710?

Marlin made millions of these rifles and unless it is a special edition it has no real collector value. To age a firearm you need to write to the manufacturer with the serial and model information. They are required by BATFE to keep these records. Whether they will share that information with you or not is another story. The good news is that most mfr's customer service departments will look it up and provide you a document with the information they have. They can even get as detailed as what distributor or FFL holder they sold it to after manufacture.
