Presenting an iconic piece of firearm history: The Marlin Firearms Co. Model 336RC lever-action rifle. A testament to the durability and reliability of mid-century firearm design, this model holds a special place in the heart of collectors and hunting enthusiasts alike. Manufactured in the United States between 1957 and 1958, the Model 336RC lever-action rifle is a fantastic example of the quality and craftsmanship Marlin is known for.
This rifle is in good condition, showing some signs of use and handling, as one might expect from a firearm of this vintage. The blued finish displays moderate signs of wear and surface scratches, but it continues to provide low-glare properties and corrosion resistance that have made it a staple in the firearms industry. The walnut wood stock and grip have some scratches and wear, indicative of regular use over the years. However, overall, the rifle is in good operational condition, especially considering its age.
One of the key features of this rifle is its .30-30 caliber, a popular choice for hunting medium to large game in North America. The 6+1 capacity offers ample ammunition for a lever-action rifle, making it a practical choice for hunting trips. The 20" barrel features microgroove rifling, ensuring improved accuracy and minimised bullet deformation.
Included in the sale is a vintage J.C. Higgins Rifleman Senior 6x Crosshair Reticle Rifle Scope. This scope, a product of Sears, Roebuck & Co., was a popular choice for hunters during the mid-20th century. Despite showing some signs of rust and finish wear on the housing, the scope still provides good light transmission and features adjustable windage and elevation dials with 1/4 MOA click value.
