Here's the long and short of my Marlin collection, 22" barrel 1894 .218 Bee and 16.25" barrel Model 336 Marauder .35 Rem.:
Many Marlin fanatics would give their left nut for your Marauder!!!
Its all right to be white!! Stupidity left unattended will run rampant Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience
