Added a 336 in 35 rem with a real nice stock

Nice!

Very nice!

I saw one last week at a gunshow in Kalamazoo Michigan last week. It was a '52 with smooth wood. Nearly brought it home, but didn't. Wish I had now :'(

Great gun, enjoy it.

That is a sweet looking Deluxe rifle .

Thanks, this was a lucky find!

SWEET!!!!!

Hey, now that's a beautiful rifle. You did good. I think I better start looking for a .35.

According to Brophy's, you have a 336SD (Sporting Deluxe) of which only 4,392 were manufactured from 1955 to 1962. The suggested retail price was $94.95 in 1960. I'd say you have a real deal there ;D. I have a real nice '61 336SC and by the time I develop a nice hunting load for it, I am thinking it will be one of my favorites. I love the finish on these early '60 models.

You may be right Bigjeepman. I'm gonna post a pic of mine, lets compare... my next post.

as bjm stated, you found an original 336SD - very nice, and not very common on the market! I own a few of these, and figure the .35 Remington chambering was ~33-40% of the total produced. You can make new white spacers from Clorox jugs if you wish, and they won't shrink or fade like the original material. Shoot straight!

I've done that and it works good.

Nice looking rifle ,i like that alot.

Good looking rifle. Thanks for sharing.

Those are great looking rifles.

I am new to the Marlin barrel markings.

This rifle has the 336 S.C. on the barrel. I have read the barrel markings (model letters) are not always correct/accurate for the actual rifle model, SC, CS, DL, etc.

Do the Deluxe models usually have DL on the barrel?

Nice looking rifle. I hope it shoots well. I am sure it will.

Thanks

I like using the weaver see thru bases/rings on the 336 carbines in .35, going to try the same set-up on this one!

I have been lead to believe that the markings are going to show SC, but it is, in fact, an SD. Really nice rifle.

The correct barrel rollstamp does indeed indicate Model 336 SC, even though the checkered buttstock and forearm (usually a higher grade walnut) make it the Sporting Deluxe, or SD model shown in Marlin's catalog or advertised literature of the day. I understand rollstamps were very expensive, and essentially used until completely worn out, and the production numbers of some of the limited deluxe models simply did not warrant making a specific rollstamp. Other features sometimes have to be noted to distinguish the "true" catalog model.
