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...... today......ready to go on horse back..........or on the fireplace mantel..........

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?
Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.
