Nice! And I must admit those two Weavers look right at home. In the picture above notice how the Weaver scope on the Second Model is slightly further forward then the Weaver scope on the circa 1968 First Model ? Both rifles have Weaver 63B bases on them . But the one on the Second Model is a bit lo...

Very nice Marlins!! Since I'm partial to pistol grip rifles, I really like the second model. How long was the production on the second model? JDL Thats a good question :!: Brophy's book claims the two barrel bands on the Second Model were eliminated in 1976 . Now I am not sure if that was for the e...

In my 1894FG I used the Nosler 210 grain bullet and 21 grains of H110 . Used this load a couple years ago to take three Virginia whitetails !

Also have a box of Hornady 210 grain XTP's I really need to run down the pipe on this one !

6pt-sika

I have the same combo myself

Here's the Blackhawk 41 MAG with 6.5" pipe ! And still unfired I might add !

Thats my 1894FG at the top .

Judging by those stock designs and knowing that they are 444's, I'll bet your cheek knows does not look forward to you taking the rifles out for a practice session! Actually I found those big old Monte Carlo stocks to be fairly comfortable from the bench ! And believe me I have shot the 1968 and 19...

Now if I can find a 336T in 30-30 and another 336T in 35 that were made between 1965 and 1971 Well, ifn you can't find the mates for the 44mag, you can just go ahead and ship her to me. I got 3 or 4 44mag levers, that'll love it like a brother. :wink: And you want to deprive my other two 44 MAG's :...

6pt-sika

Pete , but even if I find and purchase a couple of the 336T's . Then I need to scratch around and find a couple more old Weaver K2.5's or K3's !

It's a never ending thing

6pt-sika

You have a long row to hoe, 6pt ! That 20" .44 Texan looks like a nice start, though ! (only 13,895 made) Now, ya need a "few" more, to complete your set. Model 336T (Texan) - (1954-1983).30-30, .35, or .44 Mag (65-67 only), 18 1/2" (1983 only) or 20" barrel, saddle ring (6...

I do not know if Marlin marked them "Texan" or not . I do however have a 1964 "Shooters Bible" laying here open beside me and on page 47 they show pics of the Model 336-T and under that they call it the "Texan Carbine". And I quote from the specifications in the same Sh...

Now if I can find a 336T in 30-30 and another 336T in 35 that were made between 1965 and 1971 . Well you know how that goes !

I think in the next month or so , this one is going to get a steady diet of Ranch Dog 265 and 300 grain bullets until I find a load for each bullet that satisfies me for shooting deer .

I've had this one for awhile now ! It's a Marlin 336-44 that was manufactured in 1967 . Got this one as a matter of fact from a member in North Carolina .

Personally, I think you can get pretty close if not better with hand loaded 32-20 and the rifles are more readily available. Whatcha think? You are most likely correct :wink: And I already have a few 32-20's and one of te 32 MAG rifles . But I sure would like another one to shoot the 327 Federal :D...

Kinda have gotten intrested in these !

How much do they sell for ?

Whats the difference in price for a 30-30 and 35 REM ?

Intrested in the first version of 336 Texans , ones made in the early and mid 60's.

6pt-sika

Well what are we waiting for? Let's start bugging Marlin to build it. :P Dude , I've been after them for almost 2 years now for a 336XLR in 32 Special to go with the new Leverevolution ammo ! And near as I can see it ain't gonna happen . I seriousely doubt that they do much more in state of the art...

The pressures more than double but there's a lot of meat there. Remember it's the same platform as used right up to .45Colt and we know they're at least as strong as a Ruger Blackhawk .45Colt. Virtually any firearm that's able to chamber the .357 will be a good candidate. Bowen even reports that th...

Jaguarundi wrote:6pt-sika sweet rifles !What cartridges are they chambered for?

They are 32 caliber and either shoot 32 rimfire short or long with rimfire pin . Or change to centerfire pin and they fire 32 Short Colt or 32 Long Colt .

6pt-sika

I'm not worried about rechambering my 32 MAG !

Just let them have a run of 327 Federals !

Also maybe Ruger will make me a cylinder for my Blackhawk Buckeye Special ! Then I'd have a cylinder for 32-20 another for 32 MAG and a third for 327 Federal

Like Terry said, the 32-20 is a 30 caliber 22mag. Neck it down and you have the 25-20, and neck that down and you end up with the 218 Bee.
