Comes with 2 boxes of Rem factory ammo and will be shipped in a hard plastic gun case. Exc condition, I'd say 95% with a few tiny dings in the wood. Has the octagon barrel 26 or 28" barrel, I can't remember. I have never fired this rifle but I think it'd make a fine deer/bear/elk/zombie rifle. ����.$950 shipped to your ffl.

Do you know the year of manufacture? It is not a RM serial number is it? (pre Remington yes?) interested in ay trades to lower my cost some?
How bout nice 45/70 contender or something?

There was a time, about 5-10 years ago when Marlin would do cowboy-conversions on old 336/1895s (pre-safety) to customer specs. With Marlin in its current state, that seems so long ago.

Oh, and believe it or not, deer bite. Fairly hard.

I have the same rifle and it had the safety just like this one has the safety. I removed the safety on mine and replace it with the plug that looks just like screw. These rifles are super hunting rifles in the 45-70.
A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

All original factory CB's have the X-Bolt safety, unless they have been plugged after purchase.
There are a few custom builds out there that are rebuilt with the original pre X-bolt Safety receivers, which were discontinued in 1982 The nostalgia of octagon barrels cries for the look of a pre X-Bolt receiver.

If I had the cash I would snap this one up. I have one and it is a SUPER hunting rifle. Good balance, great accuracy, with the hornady 325gr leverultion ammo great out to 300 yds on elk.

I'd work a trade on a nice clean Model 70 Super Grade or Stainless Classic or Classic Featherweight...
