Good Deal (pictures added)
« on: January 20, 2009, 02:25:13 AM »
A friend just offered me an unfired Marlin .30-30 plus ammo for $100.00.  He's supposed to bring it tomorrow.  He bought it from Walmart less than a year ago.  It has the beech stock.

I'd go thru every couch in the family to come up with the change for a deal like that. ;D

 Back when I was single, I lived in a three family house. My first floor neighbor had one hell of a temper when he drank and would be out in the yard screaming at whom ever for who knows what.
One day he was drinking and ended up out in the yard pushing around his girl friend. I minded my own business, but when I saw this I had to step in. All I did was separate them. Separated them, told him to cool off and I put her in her car and told her to go for a ride for a while. He was pissed, but cooled off and we parted ways.
 Well, I guess my not fighting or engaging him that day impressed him. We had talked before and where as neighborly as is normal. One afternoon he shows up at my door, with a 18pack and a rifle case. He explains that he remembers my talking about guns and sees me with gun cases sometimes when I leave the house. He explained about another "fight" he had with the GF. During the fight, his mind when to that gun in the closet and it scared him... He wanted me to buy it.
 We struck a deal, $50 bucks and a shared 18pack was the cost. I made a friend and got a very nice 336T Texan 30-30 for my troubles!! I have since passed that gun on to my buddies first boy as his deer rifle.

Good deal Swampy, grab it and run!!

Wow, great deal for you Swampman. Bet it took about half a second to say yes on that one.

It's marked 336W.  It came with five boxes of 150 grainers.  3 ea Remington Core-Lokts, 1 ea Winchester Ballistic Silver Tip, and 1 ea Winchester Power Point.  It has sling swivels, and an inexpensive camo sling.

It looks brand spanking new no marks or wear.

I had a newish Marlin leather sling in my junk box & also a 336 Weaver base and rings.  I think I'm going to mount the Bushnell Banner 1.5-4.5X32 that I wasn't using on it.  I hope I can remember where I put my old style 336 extended hammer spurs.

That is a great deal. My first rifle was a 30-30 Marlin. It was stolen over 20 years ago though. I wish I knew the scumbag that took it. I often thought of buying one just like it. Let us know how it shoots. Hey Swampy I thought all you bought were Remingtons.  :o ;D ;) Dale

I was always told that the "W" indicated a model made for Wall Mart.  I have a 30 AW that I have been told many times had such humble beginnings.  No matter what the W means, mine is a shooter and I bet yours is too.  A gun made for the woods.

All the department store Marlins I've owned were real shooters.  The trigger is pretty good on this one.  I'd like to get one of those dummy screws that replaces the cross bolt safety, & perhaps hunt down a set of uncheckered walnut stocks one day.
