New Rifle
« on: June 12, 2006, 02:41:59 AM »
I picked up a new rifle at the local pawn shop, it is a short barrelled 336 in 35 Remington and it looks like it says "GS" after the 35 Rem.  Maybe I am reading it wrong.  What would the GS stand for?   This is my 3rd Marlin lever gun and I think I am gonna like this one..Bought a box of the new Hornady ammo for it.  Now I just need to get it to the range..

New saw a GS...that doesn't mean there isn't one...are you sure it doesn't say CS?

After reading your reply, I put my reading glasses on and sure enough it says CS,  not GS.  SO what does the CS, stand for?   Thanks for your reply.

The C in 336C stands for carbine, which has a 20" barrel.  When the Crossbolt saftey came out Marlin added the "S".  I believe it stands for Carbine with cross bolt saftey.
