Marlin 336 LOP

[littlelefty]

Hello,
I handled a new 336 at a local shop today that seemed to have a shorter than normal LOP. Now I'm not sure what normal LOP is for a 336, but this gun was not the 336Y. When I look on Marlin's website they list the 336C as being 38.5 OAL, and the 336W as 38.25 OAL; both with a 20" barrel. Does the 336W have a slightly shorter stock, and thus also a slightly shorter LOP?

I'm one who appreciates a shorter LOP, so that's why I am asking.

Thanks!

The standard LOP on a 336 is 13.25" up to 13.75", depending on the model. The 336Y LOP is 12" I believe. I really like the 336Y with the 16.5" barrel. I would think that it would be easy to add a recoil pad to the 336Y to make it anywhere from 12.25" all the way up to 13.25".
