Marlin Model 336 .35 Rem Lever-Action Carbine, 1977 JM-Stamped, 20-inch Micro-Groove Barrel
This 1977 Marlin Model 336 in .35 Rem pairs a JM-stamped barrel with the pre–cross-bolt-safety receiver collectors look for. It features a 20-inch steel barrel with Micro-Groove rifling, a blued steel receiver drilled and tapped with four plug screws installed, and classic carbine configuration with a 6-round tubular magazine. A hammer spur extension is installed, and the rifle retains hallmark details like the gold-tone trigger, standard loop lever, and walnut pistol-grip stock.

What’s Included
- Marlin Model 336 .35 Rem lever-action rifle
- Hammer spur extension (installed)
The solid-top steel receiver uses right-side ejection and is drilled and tapped for scope bases, with four factory-style plug screws installed. The pre–cross-bolt-safety configuration and half-cock hammer align with 1970s production features and operation.
The 20-inch steel barrel uses Marlin's Micro-Groove rifling and carries the JM proof stamp on the barrel. Sights include a ramped, dovetailed front blade (hood not installed) and a semi-buckhorn rear that is elevator-adjustable for elevation changes.
Stock furniture is walnut with a pistol-grip profile, uncheckered surfaces, and a white-line spacer. A checkered metal buttplate with the Marlin logo completes the classic carbine look. Length of pull measures 13.5 inches.
The carbine-style barrel band secures the fore-end and tubular magazine, providing a 6-round capacity in .35 Rem. Controls include a standard loop lever and a gold-tone trigger. The blued finish is present on the barrel and receiver.
A hammer spur extension is installed for easier hammer access, complementing the rifle's traditional half-cock safety and user-friendly handling.
