Easiest and cheapest option is buy a 336ss and then find some stocks from the new ruger marlins. The other option would probably be at least several hundred dollars more expensive and the gun wouldn’t be stainless
Help me Build a 1895 Marlin SBL look alike but chambered in 30-30
Hello I really like the look of a the 1895 Marlin sbl look but I want it in 30-30 due to ammo availability. So I have two options . Option 1 buy an older Marlin 336 SS and buy grey laminate . Option 2 buy a brand new Marlin 336 then nickel or chrome plate and buy grey laminate stock.

If you're wantin gray laminate and not concerned about original equip., You might wanna check out Boyd's Stocks.
I'd look for the stocks and in the meantime find a place that does Cerekote and pick out a "stainless" like color. I have a rifle with such a finish and you cannot tell it from SS.
Good Luck 👍

Find a 336 XLR cut it down, thread the muzzle.
Add a big lever if you insist.

Welcome to the forum...from Texas
It is nice to have customized rifles...I like putting together unique combinations myself.
Sticking with the 30-30 win is a good choice I believe. They are very versatile....especially in the shorter barrel lengths.
As you have seen from others posts......there are many paths to take to achieve what you want...
I feel your first decision is ..... do you want the cross bolt safety ??....or an original JM without the safety ??
Second decision is how much $$$$ do you have or want to spend ???
It seems to me the least costly path is buying a sound used 336 and having the barrel shortened, then go the Ceracot path.
Good luck....happy shooting

The ammo availability is bizarre to me as I find 45-70 and 30-30 at Walmart in my area, but actually see more 45-70. I saw it posted above that a 336ss with a new stock and forearm would probably be the cheapest overall, the rail may be the hardest part of it, the sights would be pretty easy
Yes we have more 45-70 near me as well.
for The rail id do the xs sights leverrail. It was factory on the Remington built SBLs. I have one on my 1894csbl from the factory. It is a nice piece and XS is a top notch company to deal with

Dont know if a link is allowed but I just checked. for $183.00 a 336 rail/sight combo could be yours from XS
