Nice rifle. Great wood! Did Grandfather restock it? Can't imagine Revelation Wood that nice.

Can't imagine a better looking rifle, much better condition than my '63.

Can anyone explain to me just what is a RC Marauder vs a Texan in the Marlin 336 line up? Seems they are both straight grip types & otherwise the same in outward appearances.

Short barrels rock.
I want a 17.5" on my 336A.

hoovertx4.........thanks for the info on the marauder. Now I know.
I just picked up a 336 yesterday. My first lever gun, and I have a feeling it won't be the last. (I haven't broken this news to my wife yet.) Haven't had a chance to take it out yet, but so far it points great, the action is pretty smooth, and I can't believe how easy it is to break down to clean. Can't wait to get it to the range.

That's a good looking Texan! I bought this 35 Rem made in '65 today. Couldn't resist.

Great history lesson. Thanks.
Anybody know the story of the A,
as in 336A (mine)?
Added by edit:
So, my question is, how does that differ from C,
since they're the same length, at least now?

The older 336A had A 24" barrel. The newer 336 A has A 20" barrel with A forearm cap and A barrel Band. And (I think) Birch stock.

Nem. you and I both have the A type 336. I have not been here in a looooooooooooong time, but I am back.
I took a 180# 10 point this year @ 70 yards with mine. The first day of hunting I used my rem 700 in .270 and droped a buck that later got up and ran off never to be seen again............ so the next day of hunting I went back to "old reliable" 336 and the one I shot that day only ran about 40 yards. I stuck with the basic core-lock ammo and it worked like a charm!!!
One other funny story or depressing one if you think about it......I stopped by a local gun shop to caress some future purchases today and when I told the sales guy that I heard that Marlin was producing the 336Y again and I asked him if they had one. He said sure and proceded to hand me a 336W??????? I corrected him and he looked at me like I was an idiot and that even though this did have a W on it the rifle was still a youth model????????
I handed it back to him and left.....NEVER to return........
I'll buy my firearms from another local contact.......

Went and checked out a local fishing store yesterday with a coworker. I didn't realize the sheer volume of hunting gear/ guns they'd have, or i'da been in there a lot earlier.
While he was off looking at lures, I spent some time looking at a couple of 336's, some with scope, some without. What's the going rate on these on the used market? These were unfancy, character-having, been-hauled-through-the-woods deer rifles.
I was thinking "hm. Not bad?" at the $250-300 price, but I wonder if that might have been a little high?
