Plastic Lever Gun

[KW Driver]

now I'm ready to get one a them antiques. and a threaded barrel for a can (or a muzzle break for... I'm not sure, unless it's a mall ninja). what's not to love?























ok... this is a solution looking for a problem to my mind. I do like the idea of the XS rail, but more importantly, the ghost ring sights. I've considered it for mine. and passed so far.

and I can mod my current 336 with all that for well under the MSRP.

Meh...Grandpa no like. Plastic does not belong on a lever gun. Just mod. your current, excellent 336. If it ain't broke....

With the 336 being drilled and tapped for a scope, just add the rail and ruin the lines.

 

[KW Driver]

I said I ain't ruint mine yet. I'm not a big fan of rear leaf sights, so I run a scout scope on my 336. in rings. where they done been drilled and tapped at the factory.

Tacticooooool. Man, my 16” 336 is the sweetest shooting, best swinging, points itself long gun I've got. The plastic would mess with that balance I’m thinking. Or maybe it’s just not balancing in my head cuz I’m old.

I have an old dirty thirty ring saddle carbine I'm working on right now. Lift gate not returning and honestly not sure why. It was made at the turn of the last century and until the lift gate went south was still a fine shooter.

Next step is a total take down and reassembly to see if I done put something in backwards side down.

Where is the plastic, other than the para cord? The write up says black wood, which still looks dumb, but I do like the threaded barrel.

 

[KW Driver]

I didn’t even pay attention, plastic inspired then...

"black hardwood furniture and a black parkerized finish on the receiver". No mention of plastic

After I saw the website picture of it I didn't pay much attention to the text either. You should be able to mod. out your current 336, like you said, a lot cheaper. And also be able to put it back in factory form if you want to. If your 336 ain't broke, don't fix it.

But far be it from me to discourage someone from buying a new gun...if you want it, get it.

I seem to do that from time to time.

I have no desire to mod mine, it works fine as is.

$1k MSRP for that set is silly. But fools and their money...

I was afraid it was that other, butt-ugly lever gun with the AR adjustable stock ...

Not my cup of tea. The stock on that one is painted wood so should balance ok. Can on a lever gun??

I have an earlier Guide Gun 45-70, ported barrel. I wanted to scope it due to older eyes and decided with the recoil level I would have to have a scout scope, so went with an XS rail, which looks good. It allows me to still have a ghost ring sight, and with Talley QD mounts I can have the best of both worlds. I did get an aftermarket large loop lever as that little stock squared off lever was doing a job on my hand.

Marlin 336C handles so well; it should never change.

Truly points and feels great. Classic for good reason.

Ah, yes!! I'll take a 336 or any Marlin lever, 1894 or 1895 over a Winchester lever any day. A look in my gun safe will readily show that. My first rifle was a 39a, dad bought me back in 1952 when I was 7 years old. I finally picked up a little 39a Mountie a couple of years ago and love it. One of my other favorites is a little 1894 CL, in 32-20, a fun, walk around plinking rifle.

Ah. One of my regrets: no 39 lever!

Agreed

They were and are wonderful. Should have shot mine today ...

Lest we forget Henry...now available with a side loading gate I am told. Great balance, quite accurate right out of the box, and customer service second to none.

Yup. When Dad got me my first deer rifle it was the 336C. I kinda wanted a Winchester 94 but he said the Marlins were better built. Now I tend to agree.
