24 inch marlin 336

[mauser98us]

I know Marlin made the 336dl in 30-30 and 32 special. Did they also make it in 35 Remington?

[T.R.]

Yes.  Named 336-A.  Early 1950's models are sought after for high comb stock and low luster finish. 

After JFK years, Marlin added white line spacers, gold plated trigger, and glossier finish.  The 336-A was made in 30-30 only for last 5 years of production.

It can take YEARS to find a sweet 336-A in 35 Remington by looking at shops.  But Gunbroker.com has a nationwide membership and you can find one a few times a year using this resource.

I have a 336adl in 3030 i had a 336a in 35 and sold it so i know they made them. I dont know if they made them in the deluxe model though.

for years i wanted a long barrel 30-30. the older guys at our deer camps would never sell me one no matter how much i begged. ended up with a xlr.but not the same

In a long barrell the 30-30 becomes a different cartridge. I used to own a 94winchester rifle with 26" barrell in 30-30. Best shootin 30-30 I ever owned.

Of course my eyes were still good back then.

I had Marlin put the 24" .30-30 Cowboy barrel on my 336 a while back.  It's heavier of course, but that helps with steadying the rifle.  I have a Williams 5D receiver sight on the back with a Lyman globe front sight and it shoots as well as my (soon to be) 65 year old eyes can see.
