What’s Included
- Marlin Model 336 R.C. Regular Carbine in .30-30
The R.C. (Regular Carbine) variant pairs a 20-inch round barrel with two barrel bands and a full-length tubular magazine for a 6+1 capacity. It uses Marlin’s side ejection and a right-side loading gate, combining quick handling with straightforward maintenance.
The barrel is factory-marked for Micro-Groove rifling, and the rifle wears open sights: a ramped front sight without hood and a semi-buckhorn rear with elevator. The bore condition is excellent, complementing the Micro-Groove profile noted on the barrel.
The blued steel receiver is top drilled and tapped for scope bases, and the barrel carries the New Haven, Conn. rollmark. This example retains the pre–cross-bolt safety configuration associated with late-1950s production.
The walnut stock and matching forearm feature an uncheckered, pistol-grip profile. A period-style aftermarket Red Head brand ventilated recoil pad with a thin black spacer is fitted, yielding a 14.0-inch length of pull. Made in the United States during the 1950s, this configuration aligns with what Marlin enthusiasts look for in an R.C. carbine from this era.
