Yes. The 1894, .32 H&R had a magazine tube which was charged like a .22 rimfire. I think they were still around by 2005 or 2006, because I was looking to buy one. However, by the time I went to purchase one (2007) they were gone and I purchased a .32-20 instead. And I don't think the .32-20's were around much after 2007.

On many marlins, you can tell the date of manufacture by just subtracting the first two numbers of the serial number, from 100. For example,

my .32-20, 930-xxxxx = 100-93 = '07
my .35 rem, 130-xxxxx = 100-13 = '87
my .22 WMR, 236-xxxxx = 100-23 = '77

my marlin 62 has an AB prefix, and I don't have a clue how that works.
