Marlin Model 336CS .35 Remington Lever-Action Rifle, 20" Micro-Groove Barrel (1993)
This 1993 Marlin Model 336CS pairs the company’s proven lever-action design with the hard-hitting .35 Remington cartridge. Built in North Haven, Connecticut, it features a 20-inch Micro-Groove barrel, forged carbon-steel receiver, and classic checkered walnut furniture. The receiver is factory drilled and tapped for optics, and the rifle carries a 6+1 round capacity, making it a versatile choice for hunters and collectors who appreciate Marlin’s late-era craftsmanship.

What’s Included
- Marlin Model 336CS .35 Remington lever-action rifle
Forged in carbon steel and finished in a deep blue, the receiver offers the strength expected from a Marlin 336 while staying ready for scope mounting thanks to factory drilling and tapping. This transitional variant also includes the cross-bolt safety introduced in the early 1990s.
The 20-inch alloy-steel barrel uses Marlin’s Micro-Groove rifling, producing uniform bore surfaces that contribute to the excellent interior condition noted above. Chambering in .35 Remington adds notable stopping power over more common lever-gun calibers while maintaining manageable recoil.
Sighting is handled by a hooded ramp bead front and folding semi-buckhorn rear, giving hunters a clear picture in thick timber. For those preferring optics, the receiver’s threaded holes accept standard bases without additional gunsmithing.
The rifle carries a 6+1 capacity in its tubular magazine and includes sling-studs on the barrel band and buttstock for field carry. A 13.5-inch length of pull and pistol-grip walnut stock provide familiar handling and natural pointability.
