Marlin made 16" barreled 336's. They were called Trapper models and for a short time Marlin also made a 16" Murader model. The difference was in the pistol grip. The serial number will determine factory or not.
Winchester made the Trappers
Correct. I was thinking of Marlin's model 1895 Trapper with it's 16.5' barrel. My apologies for confusing it with a 336.
