Marlin 35 Remington

[2ndovc]

I was able to replace another rifle this weekend. I had to be patient with this one, the way Marlin prices have been lately and it still cost a couple hundred more than the last one, but so far I'm pleased with it. There is one tapped hole on the top of the receiver, no idea why only one. I don't think the rear sight is original and the finish isn't perfect, but I like it. Need to order another Lyman 66 and it should be perfect for what I want to do.



The new Ruger LC just came in too.
Looking forward to the next range trip.

Nice rifle jb, i also have one.

The 336 in .35 Remington came out in 1950, with G prefix. What prefix letter is on your 336?
I owned one with G prefix back maybe 35 years ago. It was gorgeous, and back then they were $150. I ended up giving it to a friend as a gift when he steered a nice Ballard Pacific my way cheap. One I regret letting go.

It has a "G" prefix. I was just about to look it up. That's cool!

Thanks,

Nice gun. I like the .35 Remington. It doesn't kick much and seems to hit very hard. For heavy brush or woods hunting, it is as good as most people could ever need. Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker ended their crime spree at the end of that caliber out of a Remington Model eight semi-auto and in the hands of a LEO who didn't run away.

Nice! The .35 is very popular here in Maine. There are many here still in use, along with Remington 8, 81s, 14s and 141s.
It's a great cartridge for our terrain, just like 38-55. Another popular number here.
Strangely, I've never owned one.

Nice old Marlin! I bet she will make you proud. Congratulations on the find.

That's one that still is on my bucket list. Congrats.

Last weekend I found a near perfect 1954 Marlin 336 Texan in 35 Rem. L marked ser.#
That was the first year that Marlin tapped the receivers.
I like straight stocks myself.
So, when I saw this old boy priced at $695.00, I grabbed it!
Now the hunt for some 35 Remington ammo.

That would have been the one i grabbed too, Johnny. I much prefer the straight grips.

[marlinman93]

I like the looks of straight grips, but not the feel. The pistol grip stocks put my hand at a much more natural position than a straight grip does. They just feel more comfortable in my hands.

I think I need to 'blood' my 35 Remington Marlin this year. It's a great gun but I've never used for whitetail like it's meant to be.

[JOG]

I've had both straight and pistol grip lever rifle, my preference is straight stock.
Now an old Marlin 336 Texan in 35 Remington is one I wanted for quite a while!
Congratulations on your fine-looking Marlin 2ndovc!

My local gun shop had a few nice old levers in stock!
A nice 1895 JM Marlin Guide gun in 450.
They wanted $975.00 on that one!!!!!
Also, a 1950 Winchester 94 in 30-30 for $995.00!!!!
The prices on good old pre 64 Winchester are crazy!
I guess there not getting any cheaper!
Thanks, OldWin! very happy to find my new to me Texan!
Now if I could find a Marlin Marauder!

This is the third .35 Rem I've had and still haven't shot anything other than a couple of woodchucks. Need to change that.

As far as the straight/ pistol grip, I don't really have a preference. I have both, and don't notice a difference in how the shoot for me. I like the fat fore end and the short magazine too. Aesthetically, I relly like the look of this one and it carries perfectly in my hand.

Thanks for all the nice words, guys!

I got a buddy that had a 99% Marauder with a 2 digit number. Can't remember if he still has it or not. Cool rifle.

Don't worry fellas, a single dose of 35 Remington will still lay 'em low

[Drawdown]

Nothing says classic levergun any better than a Marlin in 35Rem! Love both these!

[windy]

I had a 336A "H" prefix that I loved, but parted with it for something I needed more--probably vehicular. Still have 2 boxes of Remington 200gr, 2 or 3 boxes of reloads (Win Silvertip and Rem Core-loct 200's) and a bunch of Rem bullets, if you want to contact me. I'd swap for anything in 32WS or 25-35. Probably cost a bit to ship, though.

I gave mine to my younger son. Glad he has it, it's a very good tool.

[FLINT]

Wow, beautiful rifle! Congrats! I love the 1/2 or 3/4 mag and the forearm cap! I have a '69 336 in 35 rem that shoots awesome and has killed a couple deer for me.

My friend told me the gun shop he goes to just got in a batch of lever evolution 35 rem for only $79/ box. Let me know if you want some

Glad I bought a few boxes of corelokts during the last administration. Wish I had bought a few more!!!!

[JOG]

I'm still hunting down a few boxes of 35 Remington!
Nothing in stock at my local gun shop.
Does anybody know where I might find the screws for a tapped Marlin 336 from 1954?
That was the first year Marlin tapped the receivers.
I ordered 4 screws that I thought would fit. Modern Marlin 336 screws fit the thread but sink below the surface of the receiver.
Any opinions gentleman?

If you are talking about the filler screws for the scope mount holes on top of the receiver, some of the time I find ones that have enough of a head on them they fit flush and stop but other times they will screw right down into the receiver and hit the bolt. In the latter case, I just use some thick loctite. I use a lot of Williams FP rear sights, and I tend to mount them in the forward position most of the time, so that uses up a couple of the holes...

Be careful ordering from some of these online ammo places. A friend of mine lost a couple hundred dollars from one of those websites. so if you find a random website that says they have lots of ammo in stock when other places do not, be very suspicious.

That's a good idea AJMD429. A little Loctite, them lower the screws till flush with the receiver.
I'll give that a try this weekend.
I'll check out a few of the sites for 35 Rem.
It seems 30-30 and 35 Remington is hard to find these days!
Yet tons of 5.56 and 308 on the shelves!
