Great save! Nothing like giving an old, neglected rifle a new lease on life and a Marlin 336 in 35 Rem is a worthy subject.

Now you can be an "all-Marlin" deer hunter, shoot 'em close with the 336/35 or snipe 'em long with the XS7/22-250.

Nice work on the stock. A really great whitetail and pig rifle.

Nice! I've thought about doing the same to my old Marlin, just never have gotten around to it. Mine does have the same scope though.

My thoughts, exactly. Well done.

Outstanding little critter getter. Great job on the wood, which is beautifully figured.

Thanks for all the kind words, guys. I am rather proud of the way it turned out.

I've got an old beater BPS 12ga that I'm working on at the moment. It has some pretty interesting wood also. That thick shiny finish Browning put on these is a PITA to remove!

Beautiful wood on that Marlin. You did a great job on the restoration. A real classic for sure.

You did a wonderful job bringing the ole' Marlin 336 back to life. Most pawn shop marlin 336's were meat guns or bouncing behind the seat truck guns are your's was.

I hope it shoots as good as it looks.

Great Work. Those 35s are usually very accurate.

Very nice, well done. Doing the work yourself on something like this makes it all the more satisfying.

DUUUDE, Great job. Man that looks nice. I'm a real fan of the old 35 rems. Great guns. But that one is special.

nice ole Marlin...good restore job.....

did ya change the hammer/lever springs....?

I've found even the older Marlins benefit from a lighter hammer spring

Very nice!! That wood turned out great. Every time I see one of these I kick myself for selling the 336 35rem I had. Great guns!
