The Model 336C carbine configuration pairs a 20-inch round Micro-Groove carbon steel barrel with a full-length tubular magazine for a stated 6+1 capacity. The barrel-band layout and hooded ramp front sight with a semi-buckhorn adjustable rear sight reflect the classic Marlin field setup.
The receiver is a solid-top, right-side ejection design that is drilled and tapped. A riflescope is installed on receiver bases and rings, and the factory checkered hammer spur provides positive hammer access with the optic in place.
This example is from 1976 and was manufactured in North Haven, Connecticut, during the 1970s production era. It retains its blued carbon steel finish on the barrel and receiver, and it features Marlin’s gold/bronze-tone trigger.
