The "Waffle Top"

Hey all. I have a question about the 336 with the "waffle top". Which models of the 336 had the waffle top? I have been in search of one, the only one I ran across had been drilled and tapped for scope : so I passed. Any info will be awesome! Thanks

Hard to find waffle tops that haven't been drilled & tapped. I think if memory serves me they are until 1953 or 54. I have a 51 & a 52 that are waffle tops but both are drilled & tapped. I have a 55 that isn't a waffel top, just a dulled finish on the top.

1948 through 1952

My 1952, 336SC

Thanks guys. Sounds like its going to be a long search to fine one that isn't D&T'ed

You have an untapped 55? Care to post a pic? It'll be the first M prefix gun I'v seen untapped, though some literature says 56 was the first year, I think they started during 1955.

One can hope! Thanks for the info guys! By the way, were the waffle tops RC models?

Not exactly sure what you're asking.
Marlin made 336A, 336RC, and 336SC, in those years.

Re: The "Waffle Top"

Sorry for the confusion Plumber. What I meant was the waffle top on all 336s at that time or just specific ones like a 336RC for example. And Gaterskinner, I wish I could tell if someone drilled and tapped it for a scope mount. I guess looking at that rifle kind answers my question since I have seen an 336RC with the waffle top and now this 336SC.

Leverdude: I guess I didn't say it so it wasn't confusing. My 55 RC is drilled & tapped but it has the dull finish on it. My 51 & 52 models are waffel tops but they both had scopes on them when I bought them.

I have a 1950 336RC (serial #G) that has the waffle top and has not been drilled. I recently bought it from a friend that way. It had been in his family for some time.

i like them both ways, i like open sights, and then scopes are nice too.

Re: The "Waffle Top"

The Gun shop near my home has a 336SC waffle top with peep sight installed. No rear sight has blankoff spacer. Is not D&T. Says it's a 1950 year model. Wants $490. It's Lee Barrett in SC. [email protected] or Ph, 864-six four seven-6046.

If your interested. I just looked at it today, Lee said it was a one owner if I remember correctly.

Re: The "Waffle Top"

I agree, stop at gun shops in your travels and go to gun shows. I just bought a 1951 336 SC like new untapped for $325. They guy thought it was a 70's or 80's model but I knew it was much older due to waffle top but didn't know how old and man was I pleased when I got home, cleaned it and looked it up. One of my favorites. Good luck in your search.
