That's a great little carbine, sir! Too many projects, so little time (and cash ).

That's pretty slick. There's been one for sale at a LGS for a couple of years now and I've almost pulled the trigger on it a couple of times, just for the helluvit.
I love this cartridge. Unfortunately you can't find ammo anywhere for it . Companies ceased production even though there must be a million rifles out ther. I've used it in Remingtons model 14 and the 141 and Marlins 336. I want to take a Black Bear over bait with a .35 Remington.
They haven't discontinued it, it's just not a hot seller, so it's relegated to "seasonal" production schedules. In other words, they'll make a "run" in late spring or early summer, for distribution in the early fall, but won't make another run until the following year(or maybe the second year, if they don't sell out that year's production).
Not saying that's the right way to do it, but they sell more .308 or .30/06 than they do .35 Remington, and they need the production capacity for bigger sellers than the old .35. Marlin still makes M336s in .35Rem., they wouldn't make rifles if the ammo were discontinued, no point in it.
It should be hitting the shelves soon enough. There are a heckuva lot more .35s to feed than a lot of other "popular" cartridges. But you might have to wait awhile to find it while it makes its way thru the distribution channels.

Have found 5 full factory boxes of 35 Rem. (CoreLokt's and Silvertip's) to date this year at the market where I shop on Sunday mornings here in PA. All was purchased at bargain prices. Anticipate picking up a lot more in Sept., Oct., and Nov. as deer season approaches....

The .30-30, .32 Special, and .35 Remington are just a blast (pun intended ) to shoot. What I most like about the .35 is it still has the moderate recoil of the other two and it will knock a deer into next week at modest ranges. Marlin no longer catalogues it for the 336 however.
Actually, Marlin is still cataloging the .35, it's still in production. Even Remlin isn't stupid enough to kill off a steady seller like the 336/.35 Remington.

They mustve brought it back. I remember a whole lot of grumbling on the Marlinowners site a couple years ago when the .35 was dropped from the catalog. I believe they dropped the .444 at the same time.
Don't recall them ever dropping the .35, but they dropped the .444, .450 & .338 Exp for awhile while they worked on their "issues". They have reinstated the .444 & .338 to the line but don't think they've shipped any yet.
Oh I read his link as soon as he posted it. I didn't say Marlin doesn't currently chamber the .444 Marlin I merely said they had dropped it a few years ago. And that is true. So any difficulties in reading or comprehension aren't mine.
And yes Marlin had discontinued the .35 Remington at the same time. I took part in the controversy on Marlinowners.com at the time. And yes I'm very happy the .35 Remington is back in the lineup. I prefer it to the .30-30 but I've used both extensively.
It's really a cool cartridge that sadly has been forgotten. People want .44 mag leverguns but I've hunted extensively with both and the .35 Remington has just as much punch up close and takes more out to 150 yards than the .44 does.
I've had both .44 mag. and .35 Rem. leverguns and used them to shoot a bunch of deer. If either killed one bit better than a .30-30 you couldn't prove it by me. Folks do seem to have good imaginations though.
Melvin Forbes did make a NULA in .35 Remington for Richard Mann, on the Model 20 action.
There was also a "pre-Model 8" Remington. It was called the Remington Autoloading Rifle, and was made for a couple of years before the name was changed to Model 8. There weren't many made, but I owned one for a while.
