so i was searching thru the local classified ads in the paper this morning, came across a guy selling a marlin 336 with ammo - 300 dollars
well to say the least it caught my eye....
i picked up the phone, guy says that he bought it around the mid-1990's, shot it 2 times and put it away..still has original box of ammo
well we arranged a time to meet. I called him on the way to verify meeting location, while on the phone, i asked what model it is...he replied with saying it was a marlin 336a in 30-30.
well i get there and see, its not a 336a, but a very very very very nice 336cs. He stated he only shot it 2 times since he bought it
showed me the original box of shells he bought (buying price was 7.98/per 20 rounds) That price alone tells me he is not kidding, this gun was bought a long time ago...
anyway, its mine now...gun and ammo...we struck a deal....i take it home....
just another cs...but the price was right, and the gun is like new...not a scratch or ding in it...flawless
well im stoked about this thing....its cherry......but i would like to verify the year....serial # starts with 07.....am i right when i assume a 1993??
anyway i know its no early 50's or 60's collector...but i couldnt pass it up
