.30-30 straight stock
« on: October 29, 2006, 11:40:19 AM »
Hi all,

In the market for a new .30-30, was looking at the marlins, and was wondering if you can get one in a straight stock, like the one on my .45-70 cowboy?
have looked around and so far no luck.  I am just not a fan of the pistol grip.

Thanks

Dave

Hey Dave,
  I have a straight stock Marlin 30/30 that was made in 1975, about 90-95%. It took me about 4 years to find the one I wanted! They are rare but can be found, happy searching!!!

Used to have a nice one -- kicked my a** for letting it go.   :'(  (Will have to go kick it again too...  Miss that rifle...)

There's one on gunbroker.com right now -- search on "336TS" -- that's one Model Number that designates the straight-gripped stock.

"TK" is another model suffix to search for...

Several years ago I just happen to walk in a pawn shop and there sat this straight stock 336 in 30-30 made in 1967 it was love at first sight with a price of 250 after a little haggleing and (it was mid summer) I walked out the door for 200 tax's and all if I ever run into one like it in 35 Rem my search will be over

I just found one at the gun show last week. A 1981 in 30-30 with the 18" barrel. I have been looking for a pre-safety straight stock forever. They are out there but they can be tough to find.

As an aside, what is the difference between the 336T and the 336TS?

I bought a marlin 336T with an 18 inch barrel and straight stock while stationed in TEXAS about 12 years ago. Though I never did figure out what the T stood for except to designate A straight stock.  I had no idea they were hard to find. I bought it more as a travel gun as at the time a concealed carry permit was not available in texas (Ann Richards didn't like the idea).  I actually like the curved lever on a marlin and straight grip on a Winchester.

Dave take a look here at this site, you will find straight stocks for the 336 Bob's Gun Shop

I hope this helps.

Hi olywa,

" As an aside, what is the difference between the 336T and the 336TS?"

The "S" stands for Safety and this model has the hammer block safety.

Good Shooting!

 The "T" in 336T stands for "Texan", and designates the straight grip stock.

  I know it is sacreligious to talk about putting scopes on these types of cowboy models, but here is a great big secret:  When you put a scope on a Marlin having a pistol grip, it makes the rifle feel "clunky", because the overall profile of the rifle is too tall. BUT, when you put a scope on a straight-gripped Marlin, the rifle remains fast as lightening and a joy to handle.

  Just my opinions.
