Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters New old guns?

Here is a Marlin 336 that I scored off Gunbroker over the winter. It will probably end up as a donor for a 38-55 project. I like the stock. The forearm is going to take work. They both have a slapdash poly finish on them that will have to be stripped. I'll take off the recoil pad and put it back as close as original as I can.

I'm trying to decide what to with the metal. I may just leave it as is. It was a rusted wreck at some point in its career, and then someone cleaned it up. It came from a pawnbroker in Miami FL. Someone must have put it in a closet and let it go.
