Marlin 336 RC LEVER ACTION 30-30 with JM stamp in very good condition. Will ship in a soft case.
The Marlin 336 RC (\"RC\" stands for Regular Carbine) is a classic American lever-action hunting rifle that is part of the broader Marlin Model 336 family. It was introduced in 1948 and became one of the most popular deer rifles in North America.
Typical Features
Action: Lever-action
Barrel Length: 20 inches (the defining feature of the RC model)
Common Calibers: .30-30 Winchester and .35 Remington
Magazine: Tubular magazine, typically 6 rounds plus 1 in the chamber
Ejection: Side-eject design, allowing easy scope mounting
Stock: Walnut stock with a semi-pistol grip on most examples
Weight: About 7 pounds unloaded
Historical Significance
The 336 RC was a modernization of Marlin‚s earlier Model 36. Its solid-top receiver and side ejection gave it an advantage over many competing lever guns because scopes could be mounted directly over the bore. This made it a favorite among hunters seeking a compact, reliable woods rifle.
Collector Notes
Early examples from the 1950s are often called \"waffle-top\" rifles because of the checkered pattern machined into the top of the receiver.
Pre-1968 rifles may have serial numbers located on the tang rather than the receiver.
Original condition rifles, especially those chambered in .35 Remington, are increasingly sought after by collectors.
