I just rescued a 336 in 35 Rem.

Picked this up Friday.

It is going to need some work cosmetically.

NOT sure why someone would feel the need to scratch their SS# into the metal in such a conspicuous spot? But it did make the price easier to pay. 200.00 out the door.

Ya done good. What year was it made?

crawdaddyjim · Post by **crawdaddyjim** » Sat Jan 12, 2008 4:59 pm

You know I would make that deal with you but I just bought all this leverevolution ammo for it and it is the only 35 rem I own. I tell you what when I am done shooting all these cartridges I will give it to you for what I got in it. You pay shipping .

I don't know what year it is. It is a microgroove barrel tho. I will have to run the serial number through a website. Do you have a site that will tell you?

1946-C
1947-D
1948-E
1949-F
1950-G
1951-H
1952-J
1953-K
1954-L
1955-M
1956-N
1957-58-R
1958-59-S
1960 (August)-1961-U
1961 (August)-1962-V
1963-W
1964-Y,-Z
1965-AA
1966-AB
1967-AC
1968-AD, -68
1969-69
1970-70
1971-71
1972-72

Starting in 1973, the year of manufacture maybe determined by subtracting the first two digits of the serial number from 100:
Example: SN 2512345 would have been made in 1975 [100 - 25 = 75].

Ahhh, 1979. It will be my PU gun. I am removing the scope and will be putting a ghost ring site on it.

I picked up a 336RC straight grip .35 a while back. I'm thinking about williams fire sights, or a peep witha front fire sight.

Good man.

At the very least, get rid of those ridiculous see-through mounts.

I laugh every time I look at those dang things. I know they work but man are they like a set of thick ankles on a nicely shaped woman..........or what.

The .35 Rem. in a post 72 Marlin has big time loading potential. You can almost match, within 75-100 fps muzzle velocity of the .356 Win. You will have to use Remington cases to reach full velocity potential. Try H-4895 or Benchmark. Under apprecriated round by some. Happy stomping. 1886.

I was going to ask something similar to your post.

I bought a box of leverevolution ammo for the gun. Man Dollar a shot! Anyway does anyone have an idea if this brass is up to snuff for reloading?

That's just it, they DON'T work. Anything that makes you pull your cheek off the stock to use the scope and give up your weld is worthless.

Mount a 1-4x scope as low as possible on a rig like that and you're golden, brother.

p.s. Forgot to ask: How does the bore look???

crawdaddyjim · Post by **crawdaddyjim** » Sat Jan 12, 2008 8:13 pm

The bore is visually fine. The gun did not see a lot of rounds just a lot of bouncing around in a truck I suspect. I hope to shoot it tomorrow.

What's the bag limit on PU's with a 336 now?

Nice find!

Jim, good find. A little elbow grease and you have a fine rifle. Please tell me you are going to remove the cancerous growth on top of that fine lever

Never understood spotting scopes on top of a lever rifle.

...Good find! But that rear sling stud needs to be moved to the proper location.

Don't tell me someone did the old stud-in-the-bullseye trick!

Everyman needs a good utility rifle, one that didn't cost your kid going to college. Good bore, good wood, good deal!!! Happy for you.

After seeing some of the recent marlin refurb work, I'm tempted to send this one back for a reblue and new wood.

Bless it's little heart. I'm glad it found a loving home.
