Rifling in 35 Remington Marlin?

Post by bluesman423 »

Does a Marlin 336 chambered in 35 Remington have micro groove or Ballard rifling?

Thank you if you can help.

I'll check mine later today but someone here likely knows offhand. I'll bet the answer is 'yes', depending on the year.

During certain periods of manufacture, yes, but not the earliest nor the ones made today. You can easily look at the bore and identify which you have.

Microgroove here too. 1980's.

I think the 'XLR' series may have been the Ballard style 1:16" rifling. Not sure.
