Check over at Marlin Owners.com. Lots of those guys shoot the LE ammo and like it.

killerb83, By your rifle having the HS prefix it is safe with any modern ammo.

vaupit, Thanks! I thought it turned our very well too. Like you say, even the old cold blued, faded, and abused receiver looks fine. The saddle ring is mounted on a safety replacement pin. Just take the factory cross bolt safety out and put this in its place. No new straght grip...

The last 336 CB conversion from North Haven. Here is my new baby. It started life as a Kmart contract gun. The Marlin 30TK with birch wood, 18.5 inch barrel and 2/3 mag tube. I bought it new in 1989 and have used it hard ever since. In the wake of the Marlin plant in North Haven being closed...

You made a wise choice. The 336 Texans are great carbines. I sold all my 94's except for two in favor of Marlins. However Marlin has gone the way of Winchester now with the plant closing. All new Marlins will be made in Remington factories in NY and KY. I ain't happy about it either. Rem don't...

I have carried both the M16 and M14 in combat. The M14 is by far the best combat rifle the US has ever had. Many have been reissued to our troops in the middle east as they needed a rifle with more firepower than the M16 will ever be capable of. The M16 and .223/5.56 was crammed down the...

This is a funny thread indeed. hahaha! The only bear I have killed to date was a 420 pound boar on Potts Mountain, VA 20 years ago. I placed one shot where it needed to be and the bear died dead as a doorknob. OH, I was shooting a Marlin 336C 30-30. The same day as I was checking my...

Clint shouldn't make movies with guns. He is an anti gunner.

Cajun, post the first two numbers of your serial number and I can tell when it was made. jeremy71504, if your Marlin has walnut stocks it is a 336C. They were only stamped 336. Of course if it has a straight stock it is a 336T(Texan). If it has birch wood and two barrel bands it is a 336W...

I killed two deer with one shot from a Marlin 30-30 at 70 yards. The Rem CL 170 grain bullet completly passed through both deer. One fell dead the other ran about 35 yards and fell dead. Dead is dead. The 30-30 has survived this long for a reason. It works and works well under 200 yards.

The Browning BLR is available in short or long actions. Even chambered in the magnum calibers such a 7mm Rem Mag, 300 Win Mag and others.

My 2003 is marked Original Golden 39A. Fairly sure my 1973 version is too. I will have to go look at it to see.

Oh I understand that. Folks have been so busy with the latest greatest thing they have forgotten that the 30-30 was the latest greatest thing once upon a time. I went through a 15 year spell where I hunted with only my flatter shooting bolt guns myself. Came back to the old rounds in lever guns...

C actually means carbine. Older C's were marked RC for regular carbine but the R was dropped. Older 336's with the short mag tubes were marked SC for sporting carbine. C marked carbines do have walnut wood.

Here is what my 336 CB 38-55 does at 100 yards with a 245 grain plain base cast bullet pushed by 30 grains of IMR 3031.

KR, the 30-30 is more than a 100 yard round. If you learn to shoot your rifle it can make clean kills at 200. Even further with the new Hornady LE ammo. The old 30-30 has survived for a reason. It works.

A top Russian Admiral was once asked if there was anything he feared. His answer was Yes an Iowa class BB. Said he had nothing to fight them with. All Iowa's were decomissioned after the Gulf War. They were stricken from the Navy register a few years ago and donated as museum ships. We can...

Plain and simple. The Marlin 39A. The 22 rifle by which all other sporting .22 rifles are judged.

Some of the logic says you may loose your rifle during an in your face attack. The 44 will be on your person and you can possibly get it out of your holster and get off a shot. Not a bad idea to carry a big bore pistol anywhere bears may be.

Here is what a good load from a 45-70 can do. I think it will work well on anything. Poke here. http://www.levergunlovers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6060 Then poke here. http://www.levergunlovers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6130
