That's what I have to say about this ole 1949 Marlin 336 in 30-30

Buddy dropped it off to me....action locked up....stock broken....zip lock bag of parts......

So luckily scoring a stock here in the ads...thanx Kent AKA 'skinner'

Had some serious cleaning...polishing/buffing to do....loading gate screw needed shortened

Finally got 'er back together & running smooth......ready to get back in the saddle scabbard...

pic one...shows the ole cowboy used a copper rivet in place of the carrier/elevator screw....

I really think this ole girl was left in the barn & forgotten.....for a year.........or two......

pic two.....epoxy was used to so so secure stock to receiver...... cry

Thinking that's the way the sucker ought to look.

A few guns I have have good stories to tell. The rest............. "oh I just spent most of my life in a steel vault or hung on a wall while my friends went out to play."

Dang it! a regret. In another life I would try to have a few that were worn to nub.

Life is backwards for some when it comes to knowledge, money & energy.

Very awesome on getting that back to functional again!

Just curious, does it still shoot well?
