ID Help, Please
Hi Everyone:
I have a Marlin Model 336 in 30-30 WIN. That is all...a model 336 with no letters or numbers following. It has a Micro-Groove Barrel. According to the serial number, 25004025, it was made in 1975 (I bought it in 2000). It has the "JM" stamp. The stock is totally smooth with no checker pattern at all. It has a six round magazine and a gold trigger. Could it be a Cowboy? Some models I have been able to exclude because of mfg years. Is there some detail I should look for to narrow it down?
To be clear, I would love to know what I have the value of it. I have no intention nor interest, either now or in the future, of selling this rifle for ANY amount of money. You folks get it, I'm certain you all feel the same about yours. That being said, I am not a "Collector". I am a "User". I hunt with this rifle every season. It's my "short range" or as I call it "My Bush Gun" for those close up shots.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Cowboy model has a 24" Octagon barrel and Ballard rifling, black trigger. only produced a few years about 1998-2002? Somebody check your catalogs.
If yours has walnut PG stock and barrel band, you have 336C
If birch, 336A
Straight grip stock, Texan

Is the magazine full length or 3/4?
Hi GaBandman.....sounds like you got a solid made Marlin 366...produced. When craftsmanship ment something.
You didn't mention your barrel length , or if it is a pistol grip stock?

Welcome from Georgia. Pictures will solve it instantly. Gunbroker is probably the fastest way to find out what people are paying for a rifle like yours. I've seen them go from about $550 - $850 , some more/some less, depending on condition.
Not a cowboy, Nice 336w. Pistol Grip Walnut Stock.
Looks like the worst is the shoulder strap screw in the Bullseye.

New find! FYI look on numrich, ebay, and midway among some others if you are interested in redoing the bulls eye. I had the same problem with someone using the bulls eye fot the sling mount. I just happened to have a spare. I am in the process of putting it back in.
That is hard to look at.[/QUOTE]
did I miss a photo ?the worst is the shoulder strap screw in the Bullseye.
I have the same 336 also 30-30 1974 year
The shoulder strap was on it whenI got it in February of 2000. Is that a bad thing? What was the Bullseye originally for?Not a cowboy, Nice 336w. Pistol Grip Walnut Stock.

It is the “The Mark” of a Marlin. Unfortunately many folks over the years thought it was either meant for the sling mount or used it as such. They can be replaced.
That is a nice 20 inch barreled Model 336RC with no CBS safety and a walnut stock. For a few years during the 1970s, Marlin just put "Model 336" on most of the 336 production and didn't designate the carbine or rifle model with letters that were previously attached to the model number. The "Model 336RC" designates a Model 336 Regular Carbine, the most common 336 model Marlin made during in the "JM" era.
That 336 you own is the mainstay , and most common of the Marlin 336 line. Pistol grip Walnut stocks with full magazine,,, a 20 inch round tapered barrel. Also the fore stock has the barrel band verses a metal cap style..
Some years they marked them 336 RC. and other years they were stamped only 336.
Great condition on your rifle...enjoy and shoot often.
Rifles like yours are commonly selling for $600 to $ 750 today.
If you primarily use this rifle as your short range " brush gun"....you should try out the 190gr
Barnes Original bullets.....if you handload. They really put an extra amount of THUMP into
the 30-30. Hunt with a Marlin in your hands !
