Home Forums Lever Action Central Marlin 336 Lever Actions Chances Of Finding a Clean 336 SC In 35 Rem. ???

I know zip about Marlins, but my dad called today to say that he just picked up a 336 in 35Rem with a Simmons Aetec (2.5-10 maybe?) and that it was in decent shape, not great. He wanted to put some good sights on it and keep it in the truck for a knockaround gun. $250 cash was the price, so I figure he did okay?
