The Model 336C carbine configuration delivers a handy 20-inch, round-profile steel barrel paired with a full-length tubular magazine for a 6+1 capacity. The barrel is marked for Micro-Groove rifling and is secured with two barrel bands, consistent with the carbine layout.
Chambered in .35 Rem, this rifle retains its classic blued steel finish and walnut-tone furniture. The stock is a pistol-grip style with a straight comb, black grip cap, white-line spacer, and a rear sling swivel stud. The matching smooth walnut-tone forend complements the carbine configuration.
The receiver is the solid-top type with right-side ejection and came factory drilled and tapped. This example has a one-piece scope base already installed, adding flexibility for sighting systems while preserving the rifle’s traditional lines.
Iron sights include a ramped front blade and a semi-buckhorn rear on the barrel, plus a receiver-mounted aperture sight for a refined sight picture. An installed hammer spur/extension aids access around the rear sighting setup. Length of pull measures 13.5.
