336 SC, 35 Rem, Mfg. 1953 (find of the day)

[trooper joe]

Hi gang.

Posted this on the Marlin forum and thought I would also share this with all of you.

The find of the day is this beautiful 336SC (Sporting Carbine) in 35 Rem. made in 1953.Got it for $400 and couldn't walk away.No extra holes drilled and smoother than silk.

(Noticed a dealer in Missouri has one about the same for $1,000.He says he has sold many of these for between $600 and $800.)

If this is true, my wife shouldn't be too upset.

This is my second 35 Rem, 336 and this one will be a keeper.

That's a nice one, joe. You shoulda' been here today: Bill in Oregon and I got out to the local gravel pit and ventilated tin cans with a couple of 336A's of that same caliber and vintage. And we needed more help: I came back with some unfired ammunition.

Looks like my 51 35 Rem. Yours has more blue than mine but mine sure is smooth.

That's a nice rifle!

Hey, that thing is exactly as old as I am and in so very much better shape!



Joe, you are going to have to work the lever smartly for it to feed that 50 BMG round ...

Nice find, at a VG price - the last .35 SC I sold went for $600, several years ago.

Getting one in that kind of shape and for that price was a real deal!!!

I have one just like it.

Very nice I had one identical to that one that was made in 1952 . Picked it up maybe 10 years ago in Hamlin PA for the ungodly summ of $250 !

Kept it about 6 years and sold it for twice the price .

Gun liked the RCBS 35-200 and Ranch Dog 359-190GC bullets quite a bit .
