.I have bought a nice Marlin

[Skeet 028]

I decided to buy the gin even though it was in 35 Rem caliber. and is short maf length like a 64 Win, I have a question or two though. The gun s a no safety and it is not frilled and tapped for a scope. It has a roll engrave receiver top with little squiggles to reduce glare I guess. ...When did they start drilling and tapping their rifles...Gun is nice as is the wood I paid more than I wanted but what the heck. think I can always get my money out of it. If my daughter gets back soon,... I will get her to post some pics...I hope

I'd guess it's a 336 S.C.

Guns with the frame squiggles are referred to as a waffle top. That ended in 1951.

Sounds like a great gun!

I knew I had heard a name for them...but oldtimers got me on the name. Hard to find ammo for but a friend back east is sending me brass and bullets to load for tt. Thanks for the help

A Marlin in 35 Remington is a highly sought after rifle back here in PA. Can't be beat for hunting whitetails in the woods.

Heck...to be honest I'd use it for an elk at woods(forest) ranges. I also have a Remington pump in 35 Remington...never shot it. I have a Lyman receiver sight I will mount on it. . I have a matched pair of Remington 1100s I am going to sell to pay for all the newest acquisitions

 

[much ado]

You`ve made a good (if not great) purchase. I would not be scared to use it on elk with the 220 grain Speer bullets, or heavy 200s. Lots of stories and info on marlinowners.com. Enjoy!

I bought the rifle...found 4 rounds here...11 rounds of brass. My friend back east is sending me another 20 rounds of new brass and 50 200 gr bullets...He offered more but I don't need 'em ...I have a bunch of 180 gr Nosler pistol bullets that will work too. I load them in my 357 Rem Max for deer...and the fellow offered me a box of factory 150 gr loads for 10 bucks and gave me a pound of Hi Vel # 2....yep...little metal can

I agree.........Marlin 336SS LTD...35 Rem.

I just sold a 1/2 magazine 1951 waffle top (squiggly lines on top of the reciever) in 35 Rem. It does look similar to a M64 Winchester.
FWIW, waffle waffle tops were made from 1948 to 1952.

My Marlin 336 .35 Remington is one of my favorite rifles.
With 200 gr bullets from any major ammo manufacturer it will cloverleaf 3 rounds at 100 yards.

Good rifle. Good luck with it.

The rifle is what is called a waffle top by Marlin owners and collectors. I think they started tapping them for scopes around 1955. The rifle you have should be tapped on the side for a peep sight like a old Redfield or Lyman. There are plety of Marlins in 35 Remington and it is a great round. Ammo is still made by Remington and Hornady in round nose bullets for magazine rifles. Here is a picture of mine made in 1950 wearing a Redfield peep sight and a 35 Remington. I also have a Remington Pre model model 8 made in 1908 that is a 35 Remington.

Golphin.............I have always wanted a Rem model 8 or 81..........Show and tell yours.

 

[Skeet 028]

I hade M-8 in 35..and and 81 9n 300 Savage...I sold the 8 as I don't care for straight grips. A fellow traed me a Win 86 in 33 Wincheter for it...a great deal for me...Bit the 91 in 300 is a great rifle

Dad bought me the 336 in .35 back in to 70s at a K Mart, on sale. It’s got a lot of miles on it. I do keep my eyes open for ammo and grab the occasional box when I see it. He came to appreciate the round when he was stationed in Alaska in the 50s.

I have one of the 16" Marlin Marauders in .35. Straight stock. It's very fast. Over the years I've hung alot of venison on the game pole with that little gun.
