Home Forums Lever Action Central Marlin 336 Lever Actions Christmas 1980

Found this going through some of my dad’s stuff the other day. This was the receipt for my Christmas present in 1980. I was 14

cool find

Thanks for posting such special memorobelia! Hope you still have that rifle which receipt undoubtedly well compliments! Assuming a new purchase? So how about sharing sub-model & whether yet in your battery!

The 336 is truly a great rife and the 35 Rem chambering 'about' the best of it's offerings; reservation only that the 30-30 Win advantate as universal 'easy find' ammo. (Deja vous here as I just offered the same rifle quality & 35 Rem chambering remark concerning a Rem Model 141!)

Myself a highly memorable 14th year Chtistmas day 1954, gift gun from my dad. 1867 Austrian Wänzel Jäger rifle in .54 rim fire, @ $22.50! (Ammo bit problematic! )! To date, remaining my most 'personally valuable' gun ever! Great dad, quarter century now departed at 90; a most special teen Christmas!

Thanks for sharing and for facilitating my own happy 'dad recollection' moment!

UR Dad should'a bought a truck load right at that price.....

Like all of us back then

I like the deposit amount. Very cool.

Cool photo PC, thanks for sharing

I gotta find the original receipt for a M29 Smith in '76

$276 OTD..........

OMG......

I got a new in the box Sako Finnwolf .243 a few years ago that still had the $174.00 price tag on it from the PX in Germany

That's pretty cool...might be worth a frame and a spot on the wall of your gunroom! Do you still have the rifle? My 1980 Christmas present was an Ohaus 10-10 powder scale I think....I still have and use it. Same as RCBS 10-10 but in Ohaus tan instead of RCBS green.

Very cool! Do you still have it?.....Hb

Nice to have that,I remember paying 90.00 for my 35cal in 1977

I'll take it !

It's pretty cool to look at old receipts like this.

I've got a file box with the receipts for every gun I've ever bought and another box with every hunting, fishing and trapping license and tags I've ever bought.

I'm a borderline hoarder.

If I'm remembering correctly, I paid 65 dollars plus tax for an M94 Winchester in 1970.
