Picked up a beauty today
Been looking for an older 336 in 35 Rem. for a few weeks now on line and the prices are crazy for the shape they are in.
Just couldn't bring myself to pay $500 or $600 plus shipping....for a hunter, want to thank "FORDWANNABE" for reminding me about the place.
I haven't been there in years because the owner was like he hated life,couldn't stand going in there,well thought I would take a run over anyway.
So I walk in find out the owner passed a few years ago and I ask the guy if he had any older 336's in 35 Rem said he had 1 walked over and picked it up and almost passed out when I saw the price.
It's a 1969 336 35 Rem. JM hammer extension....original round sight hood and sights.......stocks not drilled for swivels.....old Bushnell 4X scope.
Beautiful wood....original bluing....hardly a mark on it.
I never get lucky like this! It's about time.....

Congrats. Very nice. I'm loving the 35rem I picked up last year. Hope you have as much enjoyment as I have.

Cool...!!!!
The figure on that wood is beautiful, and the metal looks nice as well.
35 Remington is a very OLD cartridge vs. the 'popular' ones, but a solid hitter, and very nice mid-range cartridge.

Nice Marlin, great price. Good thing you blacked out the serial number, otherwise I would have reported it stolen and the serial number police would have been knocking on your door first thing in the morning.
