The Marlin Model 336CS, a distinguished member of the iconic 336 series, stands as a testament to American craftsmanship and the enduring appeal of lever-action rifles. Chambered in .35 Remington, this rifle delivers powerful performance ideal for hunting medium to large game, while maintaining manageable recoil. Manufactured in 1987, this particular model reflects Marlin's commitment to quality, featuring a solid-top receiver, side ejection for easy scope mounting, and the signature JM-stamped, Micro-Groove barrel. Though it shows some signs of prior use — with rust and pitting on the rear action tang, lever, and barrel, along with a discolored grip cap — the rifle remains in good overall condition, boasting an excellent, mirror-finish bore with sharp rifling.
Included in the sale is the rifle itself, showcasing a classic wood stock and forend, complemented by a black grip cap and buttplate. With its 6-round capacity and smooth lever-action, the Model 336CS ensures quick follow-up shots, essential for any hunting scenario. The front hooded blade and rear adjustable/folding buckhorn style sights provide accuracy and ease of use in the field.
The Marlin Model 336CS is more than just a firearm; it’s a piece of history that will continue to serve generations of hunters and collectors alike. Its robust design and the added safety of a cross-bolt safety make it not only a reliable hunting companion but also a valuable addition to any firearm collection. Whether used for its intended purpose in the woods or admired for its classic design and historical significance, the Model 336CS is a lever gun that promises a lifetime of performance and nostalgia.
