1 of our local pawn shops has a "Z" code m336 in 44 mag. It is in good condition with 95% of its bluing. It has studs with with the back 1 in the bulls eye. Included are see through mounts and a cheap Simmons scope. The catch is that they want $495.00 out the door, about $150.00 more than I wanted to pay.

I have only encountered one 336 in 44 magnum. If I really wanted one I would pay $495, I dont think that one will sit very long.

I guess it all depends on how bad you want it.
Marlin Levers aren't getting any cheaper, and you don't see a 336 .44 very often. Although, I think a Marlin 94 would be a better choice for that cartidge.
A 400.00 price tag would be nice, but I don't think you will get many more chances on one of those.
I bet you could get it for 450.00

There were around 2600 of these made in 1964 and 65, thats it. They essentially are a 44 marauder. They are not 336 Texans. They do not feed as smooth as 1894's. This is why collector pieces have higher value ,limited production runs. I have one made in 1964 in near new condition that I would probably not part with it for less then 650.00. There more collectable then the marauder do to very few were made.

I have had one since 1967 and never had any feeding problems at all. I have shot factory ammo and reloads with Keith style bullets and the rifle loves them all. I have shot four different 44mag Marlin 336 rifles over the years and they were all accurate and slick as a ribbon. I just wish my Mini 30 Ruger shot half as good. I'd get it in a second if I saw it and toss the mounts and scope.

When I lived in Tulsa over twenty years ago, I bought a nice Marlin Model 336 carbine in .44 Magnum that was advertised in the local classified ads. I paid $200 for it.
I have a small collection of .44 Magnum carbines, so as soon as I saw this gun listed, I knew I had to have it.
I read about the problems the 336's had when trying to feed a short cartridge in a longer lever action. I encounter this problem whenever I operate the lever slowly. As long as I lever the cartidges quickly it hardly ever jams with any factory or handloads using various weights and bullet shapes.
I mounted a low-powered scope on this carbine, and it is one of my favorite guns to shoot at the range. The .44 Magnum 336's are hard to find, so I feel lucky I was able to buy one years ago.

Thats not a bad price if a fella wanted one .I have never even seen one in 44 myself and watch Marlins pretty close at shows . Plenty of folks pay dang near that for a 30-30 and there is millions of them made .Go figure .

I have one and it has feeding problems if I feed slow as mentioned by CherokeeMike, but if I feed it fast then it loads without any problems. Mine is in need of a buttstock. I saw Boyd's has the buttstocks and maybe one day I'll get around to buying one. I got this rifle because the price was right...real cheap from a friend.I have never fired it but once I get the buttstock I'll try it out.

If you are interested in it for potential collector/scarcity value that's one thing, but if you're looking for a nice handling lever in 44 RemMag, I think you would be better off with a Marlin 1894 in that chambering. JMHO

You have to deduct idiot dollars for the stud in the bulls eye, if just on principle alone.

I have a 336 44 and an 1894 44. Of the two my 336 is slicker working. Neither has jammed. The 336 is most accurate of the two, regularly keeping three shots in an inch to an inch and a quarter. I'm not sure how Marlin does that, but it is a rare Marlin that doesn't shoot good. I wouldn't sell either but always reach for the 336 first.

I have a 336 in 44 mag. The action is smooth & slick as can be , never had any feeding problems at all. It works fine with everything that I have fed it , including 44 Special rounds. Jacketed bullets or cast , it shoots good groups with 'em all.
On the other hand I had a Marlin 94 in 357 was very ammo sensitive

I have only encountered one 336 in 44 magnum. If I really wanted one I would pay $495, I dont think that one will sit very long. I've never seen one in a 336 in my 30+ years of going to gun shows here in Texas. And last wholesale price I saw listed on a 1894 .44 mag was $550, if you could find one. I'd tell the Pawn Shop they can keep the cheap ass scope & rings & offer them $400. If they won't come down, advertise the cheap scope set up on Craig's list for $40. Cheap used Lever Actions in ANY Caliber are hard to come by here in TX
