Question for Marlin gurus
Ok I thought I knew the answer to this question but something I read has me wondering. How many calibers were the Marlin 336A available in? I know 30/30, 32 special, and 35 Remington. Any additional info? Thanks. Tom

Those 3 are the only factory offerings for the Marlin Model 336A.
The .219 Zipper chambering was available in a Model 336, but AFAIK only in the 20" barreled 2/3 magazine Sporting Carbine (M336SC).
That said, I'm sure that some folks out there have an aftermarket re-bored or rebarreled M-336A in 25-35 or .38-55.

Re: Question for Marlin gurus
Thanks. I saw a zipper advertised in a 336A. It made me question hat I thought I knew.

FWIW, M-336SC's look a lot like a 336A, what with the 2/3 magazines on both - so IMO what you saw was either a mis-described SC, or an SC with a 336A Zipper barrel (the actual model description is on the barrel, and not the receiver)

Re: Question for Marlin gurus
Unless I'm mistaken, they made a few in .44 Magnum I think.

Re: Question for Marlin gurus
Tom,
Like Pete says, those three calibers only....in the Three Thirty Six A. The Two Nineteen Zipper was in the Sporting Carbine variation of which Three Thousand and Thirty Two were made. I had three at one time but the first one got traded for a Ninety Nine in Three Fifty Eight. I burnt the barrel out on the second.......only got twenty four hundred out of it... and sold it for dang near scrap and I have just this one left. It's in like new condition with only a couple of hundred out of it. The barrel is very thick and short...twenty inches long and .seventy fifty at the muzzle. Shoots ten shots in one inch at one hundred meters.
Something is wrong with my I Pad. The numbers won't come up.
I chalked the lettering so you can see it. Also included another picture of the new mould. Sure like showing it off. No one else around here appreciates this neat stuff.
I tell ya, between Trump winning, me retiring, and my new mould I'm riding high. ----Six
I just took this picture...still on my "high" One of our cats is sleeping on the kitchen floor. We feed them well....This one weighs twenty eight pounds, six ounces. Thought you guys would get a good laugh out of it.

Re: Question for Marlin gurus
Wasn't the 336 chambered in .375 Winchester, too?

Blaine, Tom is referring to the 336 a which is a 24 inch barreled rifle and a two thirds mag.

Re: Question for Marlin gurus
Aye, but it was marked "Marlin 375" not "336A", and the 44 mag version was marked "336 44 Magnum", IIRC. More answers here: 336 44 Magnum info please.BlaineG wrote:Wasn't the 336 chambered in .375 Winchester, too?

Re: Question for Marlin gurus
Is that Garfield?
And on the original note -- there are two of those 219 SC's on Gunbroker right now. But for some reason the sellers (and some bidders) seem to think they are worth a lot of $s.

Re: Question for Marlin gurus
One of the issues with advertisers is they tend to lump all 336 style guns into the "336A" designation. There indeed were a lot of various calibers built on the 336 style frame, including the newer Model 1895 in .45-70, so often those less informed or precise will simply list their gun as a 336A, instead of the correct marking.
There are also some rollstamps used by Marlin that would indicate a different model than what the gun is. I've seen numerous 336ADL marked guns with plain wood and not ADL features. I've also seen guns with other weird rollstamps that didn't add up to the features on the particular 336 style receiver. It's not that Marlin was haphazard about their assembly, but more likely it is just a case of using up parts and not wasting money.

Re: Question for Marlin gurus
The reason I asked is I believe I should have a complete set of 336A's, a set of 36 A's and set of S/C's. I have 336A in 32 special, and 35rem, still looking for 30/30. Have 36 in 30/30, and 32 special. Have S/C in 35 and 32 special( I think). May take 10 years but I will complete it someday. I got a thing for that short magazine thing, 444, 45-70, 375 Winchester, and the above.
