I'm sure this has been covered before, but what do the letters stand for in different models of the 336. I've got a plain 336, no suffix, and just wonder what the letters stand for.

I'm Pretty sure you're not referring to the serial number prefix. Just in case, it's date of manufacture.
1946-C 1947-D 1948-E 1949-F 1950-G 1951-H 1952-J 1953-K 1954-L 1955-M 1956-N 1957-P 1958-R 1959-S 1960-T 1961-U 1962-V 1963-W 1964-Y or Z 1965 AA 1966 AB 1967 AC 1968 AD

From the inta net Starting in 1973, the year of manufacture can be determined by subtracting the first two digits of the serial number from 100: Example: SN 2512345 would have been made in 1975 [100 - 25 = 75].

Any chance we could make this a sticky? I find myself referencing this thread often.

I bought a new Marlin 336 in 1976. It has no letter, but only reads "Marlin Model 336." It is a .30-30 Win.

I'd like to see it as a sticky too. I've been here 4 times this week checking both date and model.

The simplest way is to "bookmark" the thread. Or add to "favorites".
