Section 6: Rifles Subject: Marlin M336 Msg# 889119
|

| As an aside, a local gun shop got in two brand new Marlin lever guns and sent them both back. They said that since Marlin was bought out and all their people let go the quality of the guns has gone straight downhill. Both of the guns received looked like the stocks were checkered and the guns assembled by a two-year-old and when you looked down the barrel of one rifle there were smooth spots on the right and left sides of the bore about halfway down that had no rifling (it was a conventionally-rifled barrel not a Micro-Groove model). The shop will not be ordering any more of them until the "new" Marlin company gets its feces consolidated. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Nice looking gun, badlander - it puts my own beat-up 336 to shame! Good choice of caliber, too. I may be kidding myself, but I think the .35 Remington is much superior to the .30-30 for eastern woods hunting! I like that high-mounted scope, too. My own low mount creates some hammer interference problems unless very critically placed and I have to use an accessory side spur on the hammer which can walk and create problems itself!
