A 336 SC in 35 Rem, G prefix serial number 1950 manufacture, has a Williams side mount peep site and the receiver is not drilled / tapped. Very nice overall condition a couple of light finish rust spots on the receiver and barrel, bluing is well worn, bore is bright/did not have much copper build up, stock has some oil mark around the grip (nice wood grain) and had a leather lace on recoil pad. All the screws are in fine shape, do not look like they were ever touched. Cleaned the bolt and receiver (actually very clean). Has a wrap around swivel fixture on the barrel near the front site and rear swivel mount. The white spacer looks good, although the butt plate is a bit off alignment. Overall, cleaned up very well. Can't wait to try it at the range. This is the first 336 that I will shoot with a peep sight.
A couple of items on the list to repair/restore -
1) Buttstock at the grip has a dent/chip mark smaller than a 1/4" (wood is well oil pressed here) and just behind the grip on the rise there are two 1/4" dent/chip marks - Question - what is the best way to fill/repair these three dent/chip marks since the wood is a dark walnut?
2) This has the forend end cap, a little movement at the receiver point. How do I remove the wooden forend? Have read the magazine tube needs to be removed. This is a 3/4 length magazine tube, if that is the procedure, how to?
3) Is the wrap around barrel swivel mount the standard on the 336 SC? Is it possible to replace the metal forend cap with one that has the swivel mount?
4) Missing front sight shroud, depating about replacing. Sources?
Thanks for the info! Will post pics shortly.
