What’s Included
- Marlin Model 336 RC Centennial Medallion .30-30 lever-action rifle
The RC (Regular Carbine) configuration delivers the classic 20 inch 336 layout with two barrel bands and a full-length tubular magazine. It uses a side-eject, solid-top receiver with a right-side loading gate, combining dependable function with a clean top for unobstructed sight use. Capacity is 6+1 in .30-30.
Stocked in walnut, this carbine features a pistol-grip profile, smooth finish, black buttplate, and a white-line spacer. The inlaid 1870–1970 centennial medallion marks the commemorative styling for this production period, aligning with its 1970 manufacture date.
The carbon steel barrel and receiver wear a blued finish. The barrel uses Marlin’s Micro-Groove rifling, and the rifle is set up with iron sights: a hooded ramp front sight and a semi-buckhorn rear sight with elevator. Length of pull measures 13.25 inches.
Controls and safety elements are true to the period: lever-action operation with an exposed hammer and a half-cock safety, and a pre-safety layout with no cross-bolt safety. A gold-tone trigger adds a distinctive visual detail consistent with the model’s era.
