Just stumbled onto this subject by accident. Because of the length of the replies I have not taken the time to read everything.
I have a 336 I inherited from my father. By all acounts this rifle is an oldie. My father was in the Army during WWII and became good friends with a guy that grew in the town where Marlins were made. Hereing my father talk about the west (Idaho) interested the guy enough that after the war, he wanted to come out and visit. He brought a 336 and a 39A with him. These two rifle were purchased after firearms manufacturers switched back to civilian guns, but before they were being shipped to dealers in quantity.
Killed my first deer with this 30-30. Sure is a sweet old rifle.
