The 336 Club

1953? Pffft I picked up a 336 in .35 Rem in April for 199$ at Cabelas of all places. SN says made in March 1950 with balard rifling. Too bad shes too ugly to post pics of for now

A well used gun ain't ugly. I love to see a picture of it.

Yeah, me three. Bring it!......

Love this thread ! took about 2 weeks to sift through it . New member , count me in . Purchased my first lever action gun about 2 months ago ; Marlin 336 , love it . 51 year old eyes have indicated they would like a scope of some type . Great info here . Thanks........

awesome old 336's are still out there. just picked up this 1949 waffle top S.C. with this old vintage redfield peep site. 30-30. i paid a LOT less than a new one goes for. in fact i have 2 glenfields and this new 336 and for all 3 combined i paid less than what a new one goes for.

Naw, more like nine counting me and my cousins

I have one. Bought it years ago and put a William's aperture sight on it. Gunshop owner said I might have to change out the front site, but all is well. Load of fun and kids love the western look of the lever--- and I am just a big kid myself.

I have a 336 with a straight grip and lever (like a 94), thought it was the Texan model but they have an emblem and was then told by the LGS guy it was a carbine. Wonder how many are out there?

Your 336 is A texan. All the straight grip 336s are texans. even if it says 336 RC on the barrel.

It is a Texan if it has a straight grip, regardless of the words on the barrel stamp, regardless of what your local gun slinger says.

Brockman does great work. He took my 336C and essentially made it a 336Y and added a larger loop for my big hands. Its by far my favorite rifle.

375 winchester?

I wonder if the hardcore 336ers will let my Marlin 375 in ??
It looks like a 336 but I'm not sure if the action is thicker? longer? or what?

I have a Glenfield 30A 30-30 made in 1980 with a williams receiver peep sight and a military style sling, sorry i dont have any pics

the .375 Win was made from 1980 to 83 (in Marlin) @ around 18,000 units;
it is just a 30-30 blown out to a straight case like the .444 or 45-70, it sends
a 200 grain slug @ 2200-2300 fps, I handload it, as it can be pretty spendy.

It groups pretty good 1-3/4" to 2-1/4" @ 100 yds when I do it right!

Is he the best option for a chop and recrown?

I need to (hopefully soon) get my 336 shipped out from the west coast to the new home. May as well get that done along the way.

I no longer want a scout scope or ghost rings, but a Skinner.

I was happy with Brockman's results. I sent it off in April and had it back in time for my Oct deer hunt. He's the only one I've used. I set a 45-70 I bought recently off to Lew Bonitz of Grizzly Custom but I haven't gotten it back yet. I just wanted to try someone else so I could compare the two (so when people ask I can compre). The 45-70 had issues and was one of the newer ones made at Remington factory. I didn't feel like going through Rem customer service as I wanted it fixed and I wasnt confident in Remington's abilities.
