336 model numbers?

Post by Wrench »

Hey guys...

Steve W answered a question of mine last week as to the letter designation in the model numbers of a 336. He mentioned that there is quite a long list as to all the letter meanings that follow the number. a = rifle, c = carbine, etc.

Does anyone have a list that they could put on here for me? I want to get one of these pea shooters in 30.30 and would like to find out more about the different styles.

Thanks

Wrench;

A = rifle
A DL = deluxe rifle with checkered stocks and sling swivels

C and RC = regular carbine

SC = sporting carbine a 2/3 magazine with rifle style forearm cap

SD = deluxe sporting carbine

S = later guns, after 1984 with the cross bolt safety

T = Texan

TDL = deluxe Texan

336 Octagon (1973 only)

Zane Grey Century (1971)

TS = Texan with cross bolt safety

ER= Extra Range (.356 Winchester caliber)

LTS = Lightweight with cross bolt safety

375 = guns in .375 caliber

.444 = guns in .444 Marlin caliber

W = the new carbine in current catalogs
Y = Youth model in current catalogs
SS = stainless steel
CC = camouflage in current catalogs
A = rifle style forearm in current catalogs

Marauder 16 1/4 inch barrel gun (watch for fakes as these are rare)

44 Magnum Carbine

D

M = Nickel plated with checkered stock w/swivels (2000 catalog)

These are a few, and I am sure I have missed something. Will check more catalogs later.

I hope this helps.

Regnier:

Thanks very much, that helps alot.

I've had a 39A for about 20 years, and got my son a 9422 wini, but when it comes to the bigger cals I've had limited experience with them. I have your typical lee enfield 303, and a 7.62x 54 nagant, but its time for a nice lever.

This will help me make up my mind

If Marlin made SA revolvers, I'd be shooting those, too!!!
