Looks like a 336 SC waffle top in 35 Rem, 900 at least.

 

Waffle top ??

 

Looks like a nice one too.
I'd say between 8 and $900, oh.
I agree with Waffletop. Hopefully it is unmolested.
What a lucky GS to get such a nice present.
Sorry about the uncle.

It's unmolested if you mean receiver drilled for scope. And thank you not enough words to explain how special and missed Uncle Ernie is. Lost a lot of Knowledge and some good laughs.

 

I wouldn't take less than $1000 . That said If I had that it would not be for sale. Obviously to accommodate a friend by letting him buy that gun , you are a much nicer person than I am. I don't need it either but I still would keep it.

 

Trust me I am drooling over this rifle. But I am keeping 15 already I've bought 6 of them already out of this 257 pc collection. As me and Uncle are pulling them out of these cases we just go "awwww ohhhhh this ones nice check it out I WANT IT. " it's killing us. But how many can ya keep realistically ? We wanna keep almost each one we pull out of a case. Since I am the one pulling them out of my other Uncle's garage cleaning them, doing research on each one then posting them for sale. And add in 8 complete car loads home off ammo, brass, lead, powder, and misc. I am exploring and learning but it's a lot. organizing, making lists, typing the list to put in post. But I'm l love gaining all this knowledge I'm getting.

 

Your rifle looks more like a 336A model with the 24 inch barrel. They are really hard to find these days. Marlin prices do vary across the USA but I would say that first year 35 Rem would bring 1200-1400 bucks in my area.

 

What feature designates it as a A ?

 

The Mod 336A has a 24 inch barrel with no barrel bands.

 

Your uncle sounds like he was an amazing guy.

 

“But how many can ya keep realistically ?“

I believe your uncle answered that question for you. 😜

I’m sorry for your loss.

 

I actually laughed out loud. Yeah true and correct answer lol Yes Uncle Ernie was the man. A lot of knowledge, conversations and laughs lost.

 

I have one NIB. 1950 35 REM. Yours at least 1000 to 1250 if nice. If REAL NICE 1400. I value mine at 1650.

 

If you remember one thing from this post, remember this, kid. Don’t fall for the, “It‘s for my son, grandson, daughter, etc, etc,” trick. Many buyers use this phrase so they can get first shot, and at a good price for your desirable item. Used often phrase, used by many buyers, no matter what the item is you‘re selling. Your relative would want you to get top dollar for that gun. If anyone wants it for their grandson, they can buy it for what it’s actually worth.
Good luck.

Thank you good wisdom. Now I have 99% talked myself into keeping this one. I already need a another safe but I got room lol

 

The Grandson might not appreciate a nice waffle top that cant be topped with glass. At least without drilling and tapping. Keep it.

 

Beautiful rifle!

Today I bought a nice 1951 RC waffle top for $900 (in 32 WS). Shooting the ****, he thought he might be able to get $1100 for it here in Ohio

Good luck with it 👍

 

Sorry to hear of your loss. Apparently, you were greatly thought of by your uncle. After you finish going through them and performing routine maintenance, and when you get ready to liquidate them, maybe you should try listing some of them here, and especially the Marlins. The folks on this forum have a wealth of knowledge and would tend to appreciate fine firearms much more than the average Joe.

 

I've purposely have not made an attempt to sell the Marlin's cause I've wanted to post them here. I've been trying to get to 25 posts so I can. I'm at 9 I believe. I never knew this forum existed till I started process of selling his remaining guns. I have been on M14 forum for 10 years cause my intrest lay in building M14'S and M1 Garand's and I shoot at CMP matches. I'm on my fourth M14 build.

Yes uncle Ernie always told me I was his favorite lol all 9 otber aunts and uncles do to don't know why. But out of 150 some cousins that's an accomplishment. Uncle Ernie as all my aunt's and uncle's 10 on moms side 9 on dad's side were amd are special. He had a heart of gold, was always happy, was kind, would do anything for anybody and loved to collect stuff lmao. He loved old hillbilly and country music Johnny Cash was god. But he collected those old 33 records, guns, and baseball cards amd whatever else he seen at the auction. Me, a cousin amd two uncles think there is about 100,000 of those 33 records in his house were overwhelmed no idea. How we going to go through them all. Little Tom (mom's brother) is saying there was one he was offered $5000.00 , for amd he said know. As he wouldn't sell anything cause he loved his guns and records and was a encyclopedia of knowledge when they were talked about. I remember being in 6th grade abt 1980 amd him picking me up amd off to the flea markets in Ypsilanti we'd go looking for records.

Anyways Uncle Ernie is the one that showed me to reload amd we always talked guns, music amd family. Cause I have been doing are family tree for 35 years. He lost abt 95% of his eyesight to diabetes about 5 years ago. About 3 years ago a cousin amd I stopped over listening to Tigers game and talking guns. He asked us to clean them. Long story short we decided to come over 1 weekend a month Saturday and Sunday (12 hr days lol ) and clean guns. Well what a damn fun learning experience that was we pulled guns with calipers I've never heard of. 25-35, 38-40, 32-4], 300A and so on. And the knowledge put down on us unreal " well you just cut down a 30-30 brass and resize the neck" . What I loved was as we drug guns out of his room to clean them as we pulled it out of case uncle Ernie wondered what it was and want us to hand it to him. Now mind you he is like 95% blind. He'd tell you what it was, were he got it, how much he paid for it and " I got of them" and by gawd he did. Something about 5 with him lmao. He collected in fives lol. Yeah we lost him this spring at 80 years old he is really missed. We lost a lot of knowledge, good conversations, and a good friend

 

I'd say $875. to $1100. based upon what I see at the used gun racks in retail stores. - TR

 

Remember, value vs. what people will pay are two different animals. Your rifle is valued around $900 - $1200, go and sell it at a gun store or Gunbroker probably get $500 -$800.

 

How about a MarlinOwners Garage Sale. We will need a lot of pictures please.

 

He seems to have liked Winchester, Remington and Savage but there are some Marlins I've have been cleaning a 1932-1935 Marlin 34 Ranger I believe. Most of his guns are pre 1950 I think 17 makers in all

 

That’s exactly the rifle I’m looking to add to my collection, if I were you I’d hang on to it. They are way harder to get back than they are to sell

 

 

Thanks for sharing your story.
Your gun is a 336A in 35 Rem, very desirable in the Marlin world. I also have a 1950 that’s been well used but not abused; that’s what they were made for. FWIW, I wouldn’t sell mine for less than $1500. Current production Ruglins are selling for close to that. I’d rather have a storied waffle top for that money...and Ruger ain’t making 336A waffle tops.

 

It's always hard when a loved one passes on, I'm sorry for your loss.

I also have a 1950 336A 35 remington that's been a safe queen all its life. Has some light scratches from othe rifles being taken out of the safe, it's unmolested as well and is why it's in such condition... I can't see the sights to take it out hunting.

I'm about to put it up for sale.. don't sell yours unless necessary

 

Sorry, for your loss. I have a 336A from 1950 from MI as well. My father and grandfather pooled their money together after the Depression to buy it at a hardware store in Greenville, MI.

Your rifle in my opinion would be an easy $1000. However, no one has mentioned the compass placed in the stock. That would be a killer for me. So, not worth $1000 to me, but get whatever you can get. It might not bother the next guy, but will bother some.

 

sorry to hear about your uncle! Sounds like a cool guy and most of us would love to have that many guns! I do agree with bassetman (good catch, I didn't pay attention to the compass initially), that would greatly depreciate the value IMHO!

 

Yeah it does have a compass and I don't like it. How much does that detract from the value ?

 

If it’s not been drilled I’d say $900 all day

 

The compass does have its own charm though..

 

I would agree with that, probably $600ish with the compass
