Home Forums Lever Action Central Marlin 336 Lever Actions 64 36G SC

I could not leave this rifle in the pawnshop till Jan on payments. Posted about it on the gen forum. Think you marlin guys would like to see it . Just shot it 5 times down back fast as I could work the lever. It is a 64 ser#Z233xx 36G 30-30win (no actual G rollmark) Montgomery Ward marketed. 5930 made in 64 and 65 total before they became the glenfield 30,s in 66? From what i can gather on the internet. Not valueable but kinda rare i geuss. Gonna get a Williams prep for it and take off the rear sight slide a dove tail in the slot. Get it zeroed , it has reserved buck tag for it for rifle season for sure, the model 70 is gonna get lonely this fall at times. Gonna reblue it and do the wood proper in Jan, it has had a week of work on it .tore it down , punched the barrel no copper, did a quick truoil job on the wood (4 coats) I'm pleased with it for 164 bucks total.

The black foot prints from surface rust annoy the chit outta me , didn't want to steel wool too hard, carry wear under receiver, on lever and right behind the front sight from over the shoulder hand on barrel .90 % or better bore, no pitting interior and exterior , small dents in wood (steamable) good winter project in Jan. But this rifle is gonna kill a buck in Nov first. Got 15 rds of leverevolution ammo 160gr and gonna get another box soon. I ain't had a marlin since I was 17 yrs old growing up in maine, and when I seen this and looked for the right things then did a quick smart phone research on it in the pawnshop I knew I could not pass on it cause I would never see another.

Nice rifle. I have a 1950 336SC in .35 Rem. Like yours it has a little wear on it, but the action is butter smooth. I sometimes think I should have gotten a .30-30 instead since ammo is reliably available and dirt cheap. But I have enough factory ammo and components for reloading to last the rest of my days and then some.

Great buy for $164 OTD!

Gotta love it when you out do a pawn broker.

i like the truoil finish. for the older marlins and remingtons i use a 50/50 black walnut/mahogany stain. i then use that pumice liquid that they sell with the kit to take the shine off of it.real light sanding too because i like to leave any little nooks and crannies to give it character.

I was contemplating buffing it down with steel wool and doing the stock wax route. Few little things like boogered up screws both tenon screws and the mag tube retention screw need replaced , Dremel some on that mag cap on the barrel contact areas of it. Might go full blown tard and look for a stock set, the only need is a receiver sight, all the other things mentioned are wants.

yOU MADE A GREAT SNAG. I have one and it's the most accurate Marlin I have ever owned. Shoots all bullets weights from 125 gr to 170 gr under one inch, I did free float the forearm and relieve the nose cap so it did not touch the barrel.

Seems like a uncomplicated project to do in the winter. Redo the wood , metal prep get it reblued, basically make it new looking again . Biggest thing on the list is getting a receiver sight for it asap, looking at the Williams 5d , the screw locking one , don't really need the click adjustable one . I'm pretty happy with this rifle , was looking for a 94 in .32. Never seen one of these 60,s 36g models, after doing a quick internet search and finding out a little about them . I realized with only a little under 6k being made in 2 yrs . I knew I would never see one again. Basically a 2yr run transition gun made by marlin Glenfield between the 336 and 30 series marketed to retail chain stores. I'm glad I got it I just need to get a peep on it and get it to the range and get it zeroed.

There are usually a few Williams FP and 5D receiver sights on eBay.

The bb gun drift adjustable blade ramp sight that is on it, aint gonna cut the mustard for me. Gonna go uptown tommorow to one of the better lgs and order a 5d.

Got ya a Catman special. Put it on Layaway, lmfao

Got done with the marlin today. Reblue and redo wood this winter . Picture and updated work done today in image gallery.

NGAF about your pawn shop Catman rifle.

Nice rifle. I picked up a Glenfield 30 about five years ago for 112.95 plus tax from a pawn shop. Then I turned around and spent more than that on presentation walnut for it. Your M-W version came with walnut.

My G30 is my favorite of four .30-30s. I put a 3X scope on mine. I have a '48 ADL that wears a Williams receiver sight. I like that one also. You are going to love that rifle.

Best wishes,

Jack

I have a 1960 336SC, and it shoots pretty well. Kills deer real dead, too. I use 150 PPs, they're cheap and everywhere, and the .30/30 is the only centerfire I don't load for. You will like it heaps, like I like mine.

Once a loser, always a loser it looks like.

What the heck are you referring too?
