Stopped by a pawn shop I frequent irregularly today, don't go by there often as there prices are way too high. They literally have guns on the shelf they have had for over 15 years, still priced into the stratosphere...
Today we stopped in to look for "Made in the USA" pocket knives, didn't have any of those but they did have a straight grip Marlin 336, 30-30 caliber with saddle ring. Thought to myself this one will be priced too high, but it wasn't. Priced at $499, we got it for $450.
Take a look at the walnut stock on this beauty:
Serial number places it at being made in 1971.
I have never warmed to Marlins with the pistol grip (curved) buttstock, but have always said if I found one with the straight grip I would get it. Today I did!
Won't get to shoot it until next week, we'll let you know how it proves to be as a shooter.
