I have a JM Marlin Cowboy .38-55 that I'm thinking of selling, its minty, unfired but no box. I can't find many of these for sale on the internet, but I am thinking $900-$1000. Is that realistic?
yes it is...........in the right crowd..........
had one several years ago........sold it for around that $$$
24" correct ?
Tikkanut,
The Gunbroker 336CB appears by the serial number stamping on the side of the receiver appears to be a Marlin transition rifle after Remington's purchase of Marlin but before the closure of New Haven and the move.
Am I correct?
nope..........these were built early 2000's........only so many........
look close at pic #4....move mouse around & you'll see S/N begins with '99'
2001 mfg date..........RemLin S/N's will begin 'MR' Marlin/Remington

Y'all are an awesome database. It's almost scary. Thanks again,
The one I sold , like new with the box went for $1200.. I would consider $1000 as a starting bid.
I had both the cb30-30 and the cb38-55 the 30-30 was a fine shooting and sharp looking rifle. While the 38-55 was great looking it did not shoot for chit. The barrel bore size was too large for the available bullets at the time. Later bullets became available for it but I had sold it off. Gave the 30-30 to my grandson.
I had one in .38-55 for a while. Mine shot MOA groups with WW factory ammo and with a handload using Hornady's 220 grain flat point ... scoped it temporarily for testing, of course. Good gun. I shouldn't have sold mine.

I don't agree, serial number indicates a DOM as 2001. Long before the Remington take over and not a transition model.
