OMG, seems like another Marlin, waffle top, sold on gunchoker a few weeks ago for close the $10k. Guess I’ll hold on to my 336 and sell it to fund retirement some day.

Some years back, I traded a .35 straight stock Marlin carbine to a member here, even up for a beautiful older Golden Mountie. We were both well pleased.

Yeah, these guns were expensive years ago. Wild now much Marlins are worth these days.

Some interesting Threads keep being revived! The "genuine" Marauders of the sixties, were ONLY produced with "W" or "Z" serial perefix. (Don't ask me "Y", pun intended!) A nicety which fakes typically ignore and such their undoing as to knowledgeable buyers. These have been particularly collectible since at least the eighties. The so called "Waffle Top" Marlins, so named foe the wavy line decorative (actually anti-reflective) pattern atop the action, were discontinued a decade before the Marauder sixties era. For me, the mainstream collectible Marlin era ended in early eighties as the crossbolt safeties were introduced. Thus 1948 Model 336 intro and about 1980, an extended 'sweet spot'. Best! John

This is Marauder in 35 Remington that I came across a few years ago. I haven't hunted with it yet, but hopefully that will change this year. It will likely be wearing a low power scope when we hit the woods.

Yes, the Marauder is rare especially in 35 caliber. I'd never sell mine. Thats a clean rifle you have there.
