I never considered myself a lever action person though I'll admit they're cool for what they do. And I do have a Winchester 94 .30-30 that I picked up in the safe.
Recently an old friend died and left me his guns. The last one, that almost got missed is a Marlin 336rc that was found buried in the closet in a leather scabbard.
When I picked it up and looked at it I first thought it was recent manufacture because it just looked new. Last night I traced it to being made in 1968, that was a shock. I don't even think this thing has been fired.
However, it is a .35 Remington which is a cartridge I know nothing about. Then again I know nothing about Marlin 336's. Are these decent guns? And how is the .35 Rem as a cartridge?
I'd appreciate any info on this.
