Picked up a 336 RC yesterday.....
5
So I was in a pawn shop out in the country yesterday and I spotted a 336 on the rack. I asked to see it and it was an RC in 35 rem with a serial number M15XXX. It says $325 on the tag. I look at it and man is it dirty, not so much from shooting but just dirty. I give it back and look around for a few more minutes and then I ask him what can do on the price, cash out the door. He says $300. I wanted another one in 35 since I gave the one I use back to my dad. Needless to say I bought it. It needs a new front sight, I haven't taken it out yet. Is it 1/2"? I also think i'd like to put a more user friendly rear sight on it. Also are the holes d/t'd in the left side of the receiver for a peep sight (see picture)? Would this have been done at the factory? I ran a patch down the bore and it looks like new. I also completely tore it down and gave it a deep cleaning. I have been on a bit of a lever gun binge in the past week. I also picked up a 1975 win 94 in 30/30 about a week ago. It's not a pre '64, but it has some beautiful wood and don't think more than a box of shells have been through it. I also picked it up for $300.
I'm sure I'll have questions in the future and thanks for all the good info on here.

Why don't you show complete pictures of the whole rifle? I'd like to see the whole shebang.

Those last two pics must be Marlinchesters.... Seriously, that is a great looking Marlin made in 1955.Snaildarter said:So I was in a pawn shop out in the country yesterday and I spotted a 336 on the rack.

I think your's is a 1956 manufacture - might be the original, wasn't the black pistol grip cap added in the early 50's - 1952 or 53? I may be wrong on this but hopefully someone will help us!
Is the front sight damaged? It looks OK - that bead front sight is my favorite! I pick it up much faster than a ramp-type front sight and if you rub that brass bead with your thumb it will shine like a light.
