What’s Included
- Marlin Model 30AW .30-30 lever-action rifle
The Model 30AW follows the proven 336-pattern layout with a solid-top, side-eject receiver and a right-side loading gate. The 20 inch round barrel and full-length tubular magazine deliver a 5+1 capacity in a handy carbine format suited to the .30-30 chambering.
The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, and the factory iron sights include a ramped bead front and an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight. Two barrel bands secure the fore-end; the front band carries a sling swivel, and a complementary sling swivel stud is installed in the buttstock.
Stocks are plain, uncheckered hardwood with a pistol-grip profile and a brown Marlin horse-and-rider buttplate. The rifle uses an external hammer with a half-cock notch and a cross-bolt safety. A gold-colored trigger adds a distinct visual detail. Length of pull is 13.75 inches.
Finished in blued steel throughout, this United States–made carbine reflects 1990 North Haven production. It retains classic Marlin handling characteristics and sighting options, with the added convenience of a solid-top receiver that is ready for the user’s chosen mounting solution.
