I have my grandfather’s model 1936 he bought it in 1936 and the story goes he paid 36.00 for it and paid 12.00 for some checkering and a sling. I love and have taken multiple deer with it.
👍👍
fntastic . I have a 70's vintage 336 in 3030 and it will do 1" with a 3-9 scope from the bench
Handloads or factory ammo
I have owned a 336 for 47 years. Mine was made in 1976. It will shoot LeverEvolution equivalent handloads to one minute of angle.
But I had to convert the magazine to half-length in order to get it to do so when cycling rounds out of the magazine.
It would shoot real close to minute of angle when stock with the full-length magazine if I didn't use the magazine and loaded a round direct to the chamber.
I have several Marlin lever action carbines and rifles. They are excellent firearms.
I have a Model 1936 in 32 special. Quality built. It's my favorite go to lever action.
I am fortunate to own multiple Marlin rifles from the JM Marked times. They are all well manufactured and have functioned flawlessly through the years. It is good to hear that under Ruger folks are seeing Marlin return to glory.
That is a beautiful rifle I hardly ever see those for sale.
In the late 50’s, my dad and two older brothers each bought a 336 in .35 Marlin. Dad’s was the rifle length and the other two were carbines. The guns were used to hunt deer in the PA pine barrens.
You are a master class in guns ans their histories. I always leave your videos happier and smarter.
What a nice old Marlin. Had a waffletop once. Always loved the Winchester 64 and 71 ,same type styling. Half mags look so cool. Talk about increased values. Even a plain 336 or 94 is high. I remember cracking open my first 1895 and all that apparatus dropped down. lol . I think a mint old 39 is my best Marlin but I have kept a Win.94/22M xtr also. I just can't get into todays popular Henry brand after owning these Cadillacs.
Half mags make me sad.
I've got a old Marlin 336A deluxe it's a waffle top made in 1949 factory checkering and sling swivels half magazine in 30-30 only made about 250 of them from what I was told it's in excellent condition yet been trying to find a value for the old girl not for sale insurance purposes only
Very hard to find . I think I would put it around 2k. Call Cherry's fine guns in Greensboro NC. There are at least three A models I know of on Gunbroker right now.@@Jeff-sl8xz
I agree, the original 336 and 94 are hard to beat. Something fishy about the new levers
I agree, 2K
The 1936 is what is referred to as a square bolt marlin. Before the “36” was the 1893 and then the”93” also square bolts. The current marlin 1894’s in the pistol calibers are also square bolts.
And they have Ballard rifling, pre micro groove.
I once had a pristine original 93 Marlin carbine in 30/30. Everything inside and out was near flawless, but it grouped terribly, like pail-bottom groups no matter what amm. Eventually sold it because of the accuracy deficit (and wondered if that's how it'd stayed so spotless)(but I kinda regret selling it). But my dad found a Marlin36 rifle, nearly like the one in your video (but without the target sights) and that one (now mine) is astoundingly accurate.
excellent content ! I have a dozen old marlins, one is the first year waffle top in 98 % condition in 35 rem, sadly is was drilled and tapped with leupold scope. but one great brush rifle. one is a youth rifle, with 16 inch barrel, was called spike horn in 30 30 very accurate and handy hunting wild pigs in Florida swamp. I noticed that 35 rem ammo is very hard to find , and cost over $65. a box of twenty. I reload my old brass just to keep the old 35 rem rifles shooting. the new 360 buckmaster by Remington is being promoted and are pushing the 35 rem out ! it's all sales hype !
I've. Never seen one of the "36"s.
Thank you.
I have a 336 "JM" stamped rifle in 30-30. It is my favourite!
Great video, love my '77 444s. Something about a Marlin is just timeless
Yes - I wish I still had my .444 - sold it for some passing fancy. I'll get one again one day soon. Thanks for the note.
I have a ruger marlin 1895 trapper carbine in 45-70, the thing is a mini sledgehammer and is so much fun. its my defense gun when I'm out camping.
I would guess 30-30 is a pretty common deer round. Maybe the time of year has emptied the shelves.
That’s a great video
My first deer rifle was a old marlin 30-30 I wish I still had it
from the good ole days when marlin made guns in New Haven and north haven Connecticut , and Lyman sights were made in Middlefield Connecticut next to powder ridge! Happy Thanksgiving sir, and thx!
In 🇨🇦 the new 336 is out, but like you said they're sold out faster than they're on the shelves. I'd like to see if the action is smoother than older Marlins. Take Care and Be Safe.
as long as the design hasn't changed on new rifles, 336 actions are the easiest to slick up. 2 minutes on a buffing wheel can turn an old rust bucket into glass.
The new Mayodan made Marlins have a nice loading gate. My mid-90s 1895 LTD is a great rifle except that the loading gate tries to get a chunk of thumb every time I load it. (Yes, WWG and Ranger Point Precision make after-market loading gates.)
You are one of the most underrated channels out there😊
I keep going : )
I have a marlin mdl 1936 in carbine version.... I Love It
Hey it’s me again Mike! I saw the notice of this new video but didn’t have time to watch until today. Happy Thanksgiving! Great show! I have two 336 Marlins, both in 35 Remington, both as close to perfect as you can get without being NIB. 1967 336RC with the gold trigger and 20” barrel. The RC stands for rifle carbine. The other is a 1950 first year production 336A 35 Remington. The style appears to be exactly the same as your 1936 30-30. 24” barrel with the the short magazine tube. All original with open sights. Happy hunting boys and girls!😊
Thanks Mike for the fine vidio and the lovely old rifle, i have a handful of Marlins but never a 36. Love you content and your unassuming demeanor! ❤
Beautiful rifle. Thank you for sharing.
You are most welcome
Thank you. I love my 1936 carbine 30 30.
I have my great grandfathers 36RC wich is the carbine version he bought when he came back from ww2
I would actually recommend to you the Glenfield 30 from the 1960's or early 1970's. Marlin made them as a lever action and they just are a great hunting rifle. I never needed a cross bolt safety with a hammer safety.
I have a marlin 336 I bought new in nineteen seventy nine In thirty thirty, It is just too handy and a well made gun
Wow
Great rifle I'll buy if I ever get the chance to go with other levers! The 36 in that configuration along with the Model 64 Win's are among the best woods hunting rifles ever made!
I agree - something about the 64 - very hard to beat. People yearn for scopes and that's understandable; and I've seen 64s with some grisly side mounts - but they worked well and served the purpose. Still, a 64 with irons in the woods is a classic hunt.
Famtastic rifle!
Great rifle, l have two deluxe adl rifles in 35,s
These 1936 Marlins ( 1895 Marlin )with the traditional straight grip were nicknamed " '36 Texans" ; .30-30, straight grip with 20" bbl. A pretty run of the mill Marlin, but in production they went to the round bolt and milled port receiver and they became the 336 Model.
A couple of '36 Texans in .30-30 and .38-55, that's my Holy Grail! 😆!
Nice Marlin you have! Thanks 👍
My favorite lever is the 336-C in 35 Remington
Superb
Love Marlin, great lever actions. I like the Browning BLR's as well.
Thank you,
Chris
Wow, surprising that you can't find 30-30 Ammo. Maybe it's just due to hunting season's being open. More likely some stocking up by everybody.
He needs to check the pawn shops they are more likely to have the ammo! That’s were I find most of my hard to find ammo
30-30 has really dropped in popularity in my area.
It seems lots of larger rounds like .270 and even 300 win mag have taken over.
A guy I work with was scoffing at the idea of hunting with 6.5cm, as if that’s not enough power!
I had a Winchester model 64 made in 1940 set up just like that ( 24 inch barrel, Lyman receiver sight) it was a wonderfully handy rifle. But like an idiot I let it go 🙄.
Just a word of advise. If someone gets used to shooting with one eye closed there are problems created when shooting open sights. It is most noticeable when sighting through a round rear aperture. By the time folks get into their 40s their eyelids droop a bit. It is much worse if one eye is open and the other is closed. The open eye droops more than usual in this circumstance and will make the round rear aperture look squat and egg shaped. It also lets your eye pick up less light making low light situations much harder. If you don't believe me go into the bathroom and look into the mirror and close one eye. Did you notice your eyelid covers 1/3 to 1/2 of your open eyes pupil? Now open both eyes and see if your eye lid no longer covers that same pupil. Now take your rifle with a peep sight and sight through it one eye closed. Notice the apparent shape of the aperture? Now open both eyes and see the difference. It makes a difference in regular leaf sight as well but not as noticeable. Keep both eyes open and you will be able to use those sights when it gets a little darker outside too.
Mine is an 1895 JM Marlin in 45-70. Really wanted the cowboy with the long barrel and a full length magazine tube (think it held 9). Never came back in stock. Listen up Ruger.
Make mine a Marlin!
👍👍
Marlin made some great rifles. (And, maybe, will again in the future)
For some reason, though I have an extensive collection of rifles, shotguns and handguns, I do not own a single Marlin. Though I have always thought they make great rifles...I collect Winchesters, S&Ws and an eclectic variety of "others"...but never a Marlin. 🤷♂
Though, of the Marlins, the Model 1893 and 36 (1936) were probably my favorites. I prefer the look of the square bolt (still retained in the Marlin Model 1894).
I am not a scope guy. I have only two rifles with scopes. So the side eject feature was never interesting to me. I also don't have any Winchester "Angle Ejects". I like the half magazine and longer barrel. Several of my Winchesters have the same configuration.
The rear sight on that rifle looks exactly like the rear sight on one of my Model 71s. Is it a Redfield? It's a great rear sight.
Thanks for another great video on firearms everyone else overlooks.
I have a carbine version 1936
I do as well ,,,used to be 1 of 2 sequential in the family . They got split up somewhere along the way (years ago)... Unfortunate , but I keep my eyes open , hoping to find it someday...
Im sure you know this but where the barrel meets the reciever it'll have JM initials on the pre remington models
I actually didn't know that : ) maybe someone mentioned but my brain had no memory room left or something. Thank you and - Cheers!
Hear Remington used jm stamped barrels also from overstocks.
Argh! That Marlin 1936 is on my long-term wish list. Bewdy!
Part of the accuracy may have to do with normal rifling. That precedes Marlin’s microgroove rifling.
My 336 that I've had for 47 years would shoot close to minute of angle if single-loaded and shot on an empty magazine. When shooting it from a full magazine, it was a 2.5 MOA rifle at worst, with significant vertical stringing characterizing the form of the groups.
In 2006, I did a half-magazine conversion on it.
It is now a solid minute of angle rifle with LeverEvolution duplicate handloads.
The "Microgroove" rifling doesn't seem to me to be much of a detriment to accuracy when shooting jacketed bullets.
@@jerroldshelton9367 you are right about microgroove rifling having more potential for trouble with lead bullets.
I haven't ever seen a Marlin 1936 in the wild. 1893 rifles, yes but not the one that came between the 1893 and the 336.
I was lucky to find one. Took years
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns funny thing is we can still find rifles such as the Browning Trombone here in Canada for a decent price. Odd firearms seem to be on of our specialties.
30 30 has trippled in price and you have to order it its hard to find in stores
How much would that run these days? Wow.
Mike, when have you done a video of the winchester low wall .17wsm. The new low walls remind me of what you would say about your hagn rifles with a very small action but in .223
Those tang screws look like they may have bits of red rust in the slots. Grab that oil.
Will do 👍
What do u think that rifle would be valued at
PizzA
👍👍👍.🇺🇲🌲🔥🔪
Dang that's it I'm unsubscribing !!!
I just can't keep up with all the wonderful rifles you show us...
My wallet is hurting because every time I see one from your VIDEOS, I purchase it...😊
😂please stay. I'll show some ugly rifles
