Up for your consideration is this 1949 (Serial # starts with "F") Marlin 336 waffle top 30-30 ballard rifled carbine. Nice blue on the receiver, shows minor wear on underside from carry. Barrel blue is thinning, showing some mottling . Wood is solid, pretty decent with no cracks or big dings, just a few minor impressions & small scratches. It has a Lyman 56 steel receiver sight. The adjustment knobs are different, one is silver, one is black. Also the screw that secures the elevation slide release is a bit buggered. The front stock barrel band screw does not look original to me. No original sights. I don't believe it to have been shot overly much. $535 shipped Priority from me, not a dealer. No box/paperwork.
