What’s Included
- Marlin Model 336 .30-30 lever-action rifle
The 20-inch Micro-Groove barrel enhances velocity while keeping the rifle maneuverable in dense cover. Marlin’s JM barrel stamp verifies manufacture at the original North Haven, Connecticut facility.
The receiver is factory drilled and tapped, giving the buyer an easy path to mount a scope without gunsmithing. Iron sights remain in place: a hooded front blade and an adjustable rear notch for quick target acquisition.
With its 6+1 tubular magazine, the Model 336 offers a balance of capacity and handling. The action cycles smoothly, reflecting Marlin’s long-standing reputation for robust lever-gun engineering.
The worn walnut stock retains solid integrity and a 13.5-inch length of pull, fitting most shooters comfortably while preserving the rifle’s classic look and feel.
