JM Stamped Marlin 336 – 1976 Pre-Safety – .30-30 Win – w/ Maverick Scope – Fully Functional
For sale is a JM Stamped Marlin 336 lever-action rifle, chambered in the legendary .30-30 Winchester cartridge. This rifle is in good used condition and features the highly desirable JM stamp (pre-Remington Marlin). Manufactured in 1976, this is a non-safety model – no crossbolt safety. Serial Number: 24062687.
This 336 has a 20-inch barrel with an overall length of 39 inches. It features a Maverick 3-9x40 scope (crosshair reticle) mounted in Weaver rings on a receiver-mounted Weaver rail. A hammer extension is installed for easier manipulation with the scope. The original sights are retained and functional but are currently inoperable due to the presence and mounting of the scope. The original wooden furniture shows plenty of handling marks and the blued finish is fading in parts – honest wear from decades of use. The scope does not have caps for the adjustment turrets.

1976 Pre-Safety Model – Classic Lever Action Operation
