Picked up the 2 Marlin 336's late this morning.
Top one is 1972, bottom one is 1980 according to the date codes. Both JM stamped.
Both in excellent shape with nice bores and only a few handling marks on the wood that is hardly noticeable. Tiny bit of blueing loss on the upper one at the muzzle, but again, hardly noticeable. Neither had the hoods for the front sights, but considering the condition they are in, I can live with that too.
Both in .35 Remington.
