Marlin 336 lever swap?

Post by Malamute »

I'm not sure if this should go in classifieds or not. I have a straight grip 336 in 30-30, it has the rounded lever. I really like the looks of the squared levers on the straight grips. Does anyone have a squared lever they'd swap for a rounded type?

I just checked, all I have left are stainless pistol grip levers. I must of gave away all the others. Point is you may want to call Wild West Guns in Anchorage, that's where I got mine from. I called them some years back looking for the same thing as they have lots of factory take offs from guns they sale with there own custom loops installed. If I remember right they unload an assortment of them on me for like ten bucks, musta got twenty of them.

OK, thanks, I may give them a call then.

Just a thought, but I've seen some guys heat up and reshape their levers to make them the squared type.

I wish the levers of the 1894s and 336 were interchangeable, I'd trade.

I called the Anchorage and Vegas stores, both said they had no factory levers. Interesting, Anchorage told me to call Vegas, that they had some.

Oh well.
