A very good friend is trying to find one of these and I have only run into one, for $900. Where can he go to find one of these (manufactured some time in early 2000 I believe) and what would be a reasonable price for one in excellent condition? Thank you ... Tom Purdom

The Marlin 336CB is becoming a little rare as the production was limited. I recently saw one NIB for $775.

Buy a 336 in great condition, then send it off to Marlin and have it converted to 38-55. $300 plus shipping to Marlin. Everything fwd of the receiver is replaced. 24" Oct Bbl etc. I went that route and have been real happy with the package.

Hey Dons1, Great lookin' rifle. I noticed Marlin's website says they do no custom work. Do they write this off as a repair?

I saw one at the Fort Worth Cabela's store today, for $599. Very nice rifle, it's had swivels installed and has a flip up, ladder type sight on it. The stock and fore end are checkered, I thought the cowboys would have plain wood but I could easily be wrong on that. The wood is better than average too, nothing spectacular, just some nice grained walnut.
It was very tempting, but they also had a mint S&W 581 with Crimson Trace grips for $399.

Tom Purdom If a person wants to spent $900.00 for that rifle, buy mine for $899.00...! Seriously $500.00 - $600.00 is about average for a 98 percent rifle. Watch Gunbroker or Guns America. I have seen quiet a few there for under $650.00. Bill
