Just added 3 new to me Marlins, a 1895 22 inch 45-70 pre-safty, 444p and a 1894S 44Mag. I also added a new to me Winchester 9422 to my collection and I am working a deal on a Winchester 1892 in 44 Mag.

I've got one old and one new to show.
This first one is a 1957 336RC in .35. I bought it last year and brought it back to life with a new Limbsaver recoil pad and a tung oil hand rubbed finish.

This second rifle I just picked up today. It's an 1895 SDT in 45/70, number 041 of 501 made for Davidson's. It's S.S. and has a grey/black laminated stock with a 16 1/4" barrel. Wild West Happy Trigger, Bear Proof extractor and XS ghost ring sight set that I installed.

I'm really getting to like that stainless steel and laminated wood look!! Your looks GREAT!!!!

I have been thinking long and hard about another handi in 45-70 SS.....

As for my Marlins.. I still have a few.

At one time I had everyone made since the late '60's. Then I got married.

Now I have about a dozen "choice" specimens.

Please explain that!!!! That comment makes my kness weak. What salvage heap and why?

kansas45 · « **Reply #191 on:** January 04, 2009, 03:53:55 AM »

Marlin Glenfield 30A. Bought it new about 1975.

mauser98us · « **Reply #192 on:** January 04, 2009, 07:49:16 AM »

. Found a vintage 1948 336 in 32 Special at a local shop.$75.00 out the door. Had a broken buttstock at the wrist and a severely pitted barrel, but one of the smoothest action I had ever seen. Got a buttstock from Great American,fitted it repaired the forestock. I stained and filled the grain so she is smooth as a babies butt. Found a new barrel from Numrich for $25.00,secure it, had it fitted had the whole thing reblued,installed a lyman receiver sight with a lyman front. Have about $325.00 invested and she puts them in one ragged hole at fifty yards. I love the .32 Special

223Shooter · « **Reply #193 on:** January 08, 2009, 02:44:34 PM »

These are my two....Top is my 30-30....bottom is my 35 Rem. Love them both !!

LouisianaMan · « **Reply #194 on:** January 08, 2009, 04:00:02 PM »

1894C, .357 Mag.
1894 Cowboy, .45 Colt
1895 Cowboy, .45-70
336XLR, .35 Remington.

Put an aftermarket mainspring in the .45LC to lighten the brutal trigger pull, and that investment of a few dollars and 15 minutes yielded immediate results! Every other gun is "stock" & they all function great and shoot accurately. I need to shoot them LOTS MORE--just wish the local whitetails would cooperate! :-) Even so, have fired some 1" groups with the scoped .35 and .45-70 using LeverEvolution ammo (and also Winchester 300g JHPs in the .45-70).

Having never owned or shot with scopes before, I was impressed with the gun/scope/ammo combinations that would give these results in their first range sessions. It speaks very well for Marlin!

I broke down and scoped the .45-70 to give me some longer-range hunting capability that I needed, before my (*wonderful*) wife cleared me hot to order the 336XLR & scope it! In other words, I don't really NEED both. . .but it sure is nice!

Someday I'll add a Model 39 in .22LR.

Don_K · « **Reply #199 on:** January 16, 2009, 07:29:17 AM »

Golden 39A .22 rimfire.
1894ss 44 mag.
336CS 30-30 that's going to Marlin for cowboy conversion.
Model 60 22 rimfire
Model 883 22 mag.
Model 880SQ 22 rimfire w/heavy barrel

On the need list so far:
45/70 - Can't make up my mind which one, although I like the long barrels on the cowboy model.
45/70 XLR with Walnut furniture instead of laminate.

I'll think of more I'm sure.......

Grizz,

Having a favorite is like saying you favor your girlfriend over your wife, but here's what I got:

39A .22 LR (old rifle with plenty of extra holes - got it a long time ago in a trade but I have never shot it - needs a front barrel band that holds on the mag. tube but I have never been able to find one - the one I ordered form GPC was too small in the dovetail size - anyone got one?)

1984 CL .25-20 (nice! - need to shoot more)

336 S.C. - (nice rifle but beat up - I have sent back to Marlin for refurb.)

336 W .30-30 Rechambered to .307 Winchester (haven't shot yet - A Mortal Sin!!!)

336 C .35 Remington (with trigger job - very accurate)

375 .375 Winchester (have not been able to get it to shoot yet - I'm experimenting with accuracy loads and I want to hunt deer with it here in Texas)

444 .444 Marlin (very accurate)

1895 .45-70 Govt. (very accurate)

I love 'em all!!! I need a .32-20 and a .338 when they get here. My eyes are old and I have them all scoped. Have a booty load of other levers. I guess you could say I'm addicted!

Blowtorch

Here's my .35 Remington.

Here's my .375.

Blowtorch53 · « **Reply #201 on:** January 17, 2009, 05:59:57 AM »

Guys,

I forgot...I've also got a Marlin Model 62 in .30 Carbine. It has an old Weaver K3 scope and is very accurate. I had a .256 Mag. Model 62 when I was dealing at gun shows but I sold it like a fool.

As requested by Steve. Pics of my 336RC in 32 Win Special. Not so great pics though. It has a tad of surface rust and will be re-blued this year. Shoots like a dream and it loves the LeveRevolution ammo. Serial number puts it as being born in 1961.

Hank08 · « **Reply #207 on:** January 19, 2009, 05:37:22 AM »

M39 Carbine- the nicest 39 Marlin ever made, IMHO
M62 22 mag- great jack rabbit gun
1936 30/30 1st madel still has most of it's color case.
M94 .357CB- Oct. barrel cowboy rifle
M94 .45 CB- Oct. barrel cowboy rifle
M95 38/55 CB- Oct. barrel long range cowboy side match rifle
M95 45/70 CB- oct. barrel 9 shot 6 1/2 lb. best configured 45/70
seems like I have one more but can't think what it is.
