Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I found that good old cash was the stocking stuffer for me this year and I am going to bite the bullet so to speak.
First off...I am a lover of Model 94's. Two are standard 20" models and my dad's SRC trapper.
I have a friend offering me up a Marlin 336 of a 1977 mfg date in 30 WCF and was wondering if there were any issues with that date of mfg? In the pics he has sent me the rifle appears to look well cared for.
Anyway, he is asking 400 for the rifle, mounted El Paso weaver, and a few boxes of various ammo.
I have checked and it appears to be an awesome deal so I plan on going ahead with it but again was just curious as to what to expect going from my slimmer 94's. I know the 336 will be a bit beefier and all but a lever gun is a lever gun...and I DO have a bit of space left in my safe.
Thanks!
