Old Marlin .22 rifle

[JAGibson187]

My Dad is trying to locate an old Marlin .22 rifle, he doesn't know the model number but here are the details:

Marlin .22 rifle built between 1946-1948
Bolt Action
Tube Magazine
Hooded front sight
Light colored stock (maybe birch?)

If someone knows what the model number of this thing is it would be greatly appreciated.
