Nice story, great gun. I particularly love these 'elder' Models 336 in original non-tapped "waffle top" configuration! Believe your "rifle barrel length model" is likely the rarer of the sub-models. My favorite 'genre' 336 is the Texan straight grip stocked carbine. It, not coming along until '53 and not many before "waffle" style yielding to sandblast finish & tapping. I'm mainly into 'bolt high power rifles, but small collection and great appreciation for these pre-crossbolt genre, several decades of Marlins.
Congrats on your acquisition, especially 'gift' status!
Best, Stay Safe & Happy Holidays!

barrel is 24in....I was thinking that the early 20in barrels were more rare".....love the history on these older guns...and always trying to learn

Not to butt in, But I bought a pig in a poke, when it got here 7day's later from MN. Guy's a LGS had it out checking it over. 1949 336 RC Waffle top, Marbles peep, Front globe sight. Wood was 90% bluing about 80%. Not drill and tapped Do not know how wood stayed in the shape it's in not a ding. Will be cleaned and shot today. This gun was hunted with for sure just wish they could tell there story.
Thanks

Thanks Your gun might well be able to tell more of a story... With photos! The old excuse "Sorry, no film for the camera..." Getting a bit dated now, don't you think!  Merry Christmas! John
