Wow, didn't know the 336 went back that far (forgive me, I'm only 29)..., very nice!

Ok, that's a rare bird. Very nice find Sir.

 

[NathanJ]

I could be wrong but I believe they started the 336 in '47 or '48. They still make 32 special. Hornady Lever Revolution

I've never heard of .32 special. Nice gun btw

Slightly better than a 30/30 ballistics but never really caught on.

 

[NathanJ]

very nice Ill be down to pick it up Saturday .

umm...no.

 

[NathanJ]

SIgh, now I need more dies. 32 special was a replacement for 32-40 I believe

 

[august1410]

1949 was the second year for the 336.

 

[Gaius Baltar]

nice marlin.....

 

[Mooseman]

Great find. Looks sweet.

 

[august1410]

Now you need one chambered in .219 Zipper.

 

[NathanJ]

Use to have a 336 in 35 rem, should have kept it. Do have an 1895 in 45-70. Not heard of 219 zipper. Hmmm...

 

[SRD]

Nice find.

 

[Mossberg Kid]

Very nice purchase! Congrats!

 

[Biggfoot44]

In the earliest days of smokeless powder the .32spl had a 10-15% edge over .30-30. But after a decade or so , tge ballistics have been identical.

But it has had a small, but loyal following of fans.

 

[hodgepodge]

Very nice!

Yes, I had to look up the caliber, too.

Thanks for all the compliments. My tastes in new purchases has started to wander a bit. I love military surplus, but starting to really want some older back in the day stuff. This thing feels seriously solid and built like a frickin' tank.
