Marlin R.A. Cal 30-30

Post by pbslinger »

A friend showed me his Marlin 336 and the chambering is marked as: R.A. Cal 30-30. What does this mean? I have never seen a 30 WCF marked this way.

Did you happen to get the serial?

I've owned 336s from the '60s that were marked 336 R, 336 R.A., and 336 R.S. They were all standard carbines, so heck if I know why Marlin seemed to go off-beam at that time.
