Doug Murray of Savage 99 fame also wrote a book on the Marlin 336 and Winchester 88.

According to Doug's book, the 336SC was chambered in 32 WS from 1948 until 1960. If you give me the serial number alpha prefix, I'll tell you what year it was made.

I once had a minty Deluxe SC in the 32 WS that I wish that still had. It was the prettiest 336 that I've ever seen.
