Home Forums Lever Action Central Marlin 336 Lever Actions I'd like to see a 336ER/LSS in 356 and 307!

The Winchester site shows the following velocity claims for their ammo:

307 with 180 grain PP, 2510 fps, -3.6" at 200 with 150 zero
30-30 with 170 grain PP, 2200 fps, -4.8" at 200 with 150 zero

356 with 200 grain PP, 2460 fps, -3.8" at 200 with 150 zero
35 with 200 grain PP, 2020 fps, -6.7" at 200 with 150 zero

OH Man!
I didn't need to see this thread!
Now I've got the wheels turning again! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
I'd love to have a Marlin in .356!

With the price of 336ERs out of sight, a Nonneman conversion is clearly the fastest and cheapest way to go. I am eyeing a 336SC for conversion, so if I can make the deal happen my 336C will be for sale.

I prefer the short mag tubes also.
You had a BLR for sale a while back. Did you ever sell it?

Woofer and I were going to trade, but it didn't work out. I can't remember where I put it, but I'll find it if you're interested. Email me and I'll send you a picture when I find it.

The .356 and .307 are definitely two of the most interesting and potentially useful new lever action cartridges that nobody wanted a rifle for. Why they were a commercial failure while the .300 WSM is a total success is a mystery to me. The .307 especially: .300 Savage ballistics in a slab-sided carbine? What's not to like?

To get back to the first post. I just got my 356 marlin stainless back from Mr.N, It was a limited edition 35rem ss guide gun they made 500 a little while ago.

I had it converted to 356win, had the safty removed and replaced with a pair of screw headed plugs, trigger job, model 71 rear sight, decelarator 1" pad, talley QR bases and rings and a tasco titan 1,25-4.5x26 scope. Sweet.

No laminate stock yet boyds does not make them. I found one at Brokmens, but they want 375$ for it. So it will stay with the walnut until some one comes up with an affordable one.
