"In 1963, Marlin added the .44 Magnum cartridge as an optional chambering in the Model 336T carbine,
which featured a straight grip, a 20-inch round tapered barrel, and a full-length magazine. However,
the rifle experienced continuing problems in loading and chambering the short .44 Magnum cartridge,
and in 1964 Marlin abruptly dropped the .44 Magnum option."
Boy, THAT was a real bomb. (But given the
length of the 336 action, very predictable.)
