The 336SS pairs a 20-inch stainless steel barrel using Marlin Micro-Groove rifling (12 grooves) with a 1:10 RH twist for the .30-30 chambering. Capacity is six rounds in the full-length tubular magazine. Overall length is approximately 38.5 inches, and unscoped weight is about 7.0 lb, giving it a well-balanced, field-ready profile.
The solid-top, side-eject stainless receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases. Two stainless barrel bands secure the barrel and fore-end, complementing the brushed stainless finish throughout.
American walnut furniture includes a pistol-grip stock with cut checkering, a fluted comb, and a hard Marlin buttplate with horse-and-rider logo, matched to a walnut fore-end. Length of pull is 13.5 inches. The rifle uses an external hammer and integrates multiple safety features: a cross-bolt safety, half-cock hammer, trigger block, and a two-piece firing pin interlock.
Sighting equipment includes a ramped, unhooded front sight and a barrel-mounted, elevator-adjustable semi-buckhorn rear. The installed Williams receiver peep sight offers micrometer adjustments for precise zeroing. A hammer spur extension is fitted for improved hammer access, especially when using the receiver sight. Quick-detach swivels and the included leather sling come installed.
This example is from Remington-era Marlin production in Ilion, New York, indicated by the MR-prefix serial and Ilion rollmark. It retains the hallmark 336 design: a reliable lever-action, side-eject receiver, and durable stainless construction matched to classic walnut stocks.
