Marlin 336-RC 30-30

rotcguns

I just purchased one of these with straight stock and serial number indicating 1968 mfr date. It has the rounded lever and gold trigger. Can anyone tell me if this is original. Also it has a threaded hole where I'm guessing a saddle ring should go but it's missing. Where can I get a replacement and should it be blued or gold color? Appreciate the help.

I have a 336 RC with curved pistol grip stock. It has a blued trigger and curved lever to match the stock. I have seen the 336 RC with both blued and gold triggers. What do you mean by "rounded lever"?

Instead of the squared off end (toward the butt of the stock) it's curved or rounded. Hope that makes since. I'm not smart enough to post pictures or I'd put one up here. I've read different places on the internet and I'm confused on what was standard with all the opposing views out there.

You've got a "Texan" put out by Marlin [;)], nice rifles [:)]

Saddle ring on a Marlin is Brass. You may be able to find one on ebay.

Here's its littermate for sale now. They are either pricey or the seller thinks they are.[;)]

That is well more than twice the orginal price, but it is in nice condition.

The one I have is in about the same condition as the one on the link except mine is missing the saddle ring. No luck finding one on ebay or GunBroker yet. I'll keep looking. I'll try checking with a couple local gunsmiths. Appreciate the help.

You could make one out of a correctly threaded bolt. Home depot will not have the correct bolt, Tacoma Screw or the local gunsmith is a good bet.

Try Marlin Owners, I'm sure that you could find one on there.
