What’s Included
- Marlin 336C .30-30 lever-action rifle
The 336C configuration from this period combines a side-eject receiver with New Haven manufacture and a JM barrel proof, aligning with the 1969 production year and the absence of a cross-bolt safety. These are defining traits for Marlin enthusiasts seeking late-1960s examples.
The 20-inch round barrel uses Marlin’s Micro-Groove rifling and feeds from a full-length tubular magazine with a 6+1 capacity. Two barrel bands secure the fore-end and magazine, consistent with the carbine profile.
Sighting is handled by a hooded ramp front and an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear, giving a traditional iron-sight picture. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, and filler screws are in place.
The hardwood pistol-grip stock includes a grip cap, white-line spacers at the grip and buttplate, and sling-swivel studs. A gold-colored trigger and blued metalwork round out the package. Length of pull measures 13.5 inches.
