What's Included
- Marlin Model 336C .30-30 lever-action rifle (20 inch barrel)
Built in 1981 in the USA, this Model 336C embodies the classic Marlin layout with pre-cross-bolt-safety operation. The receiver is a side-eject, flat-top design that is drilled and tapped from the factory and fitted with plug screws, retaining a clean profile.
The 20 inch steel barrel uses Marlin Micro-Groove rifling, delivering a clean internal finish and excellent rifling definition. Sight alignment is handled by iron sights: a hooded ramp front sight and an adjustable, barrel-mounted rear sight.
The rifle wears a traditional blued finish over steel, complemented by a polished in-the-white bolt and a gold-colored trigger. The action uses a standard loop lever and feeds from a full-length tubular magazine with a 6+1 capacity.
Furniture is smooth wood with a pistol-grip, straight-comb stock and a matching fore-end secured by a barrel band. The stock is capped with a Marlin-marked hard buttplate and white line spacer, and the length of pull measures 13.5 inches.
