Marlin 336 A 30-30 with BALLARD rifling
« on: October 04, 2005, 12:03:56 AM »
I just purchased the above rifle for $250.00.  It is in in about 90% condition and just needs to be recrowned.  There are 4 riflings in the barrel the Serial # reads F 589XX.  I have a feeling she is going to be a real shooter.  The action is as smooth as soft butter.  It has  what looks to be a 24" barrel and the barrel sticks at least 10" past the magazine.

Anyone know if I got a deal?

Sounds like a deal to me. Got any pics yet.  :grin:
Said I never had much use for one, never said I didn't know how to use it.

I have one of those,and they will indeed 'put 'em put there' for ya.
I had to REALLY clean my bore before it would even hit planet earth with cast bullets,but once i did get it jacket-free,it's a hoot to shoot.
Nice find!!
