I have not seen a remmar that was worth buying. Fit finish rough action @ triggers. All lower quality than the real ones and they want more $ for the things to.
Love my Ruger firearms !!!
Like others have said, leave off the checkering & Marlin you’ve got 2 1895’s & several 1894’s with the octagon barrel let’s see a 336 “cowboy” so I don’t have to go to Winchester/Miroku , Uberti or ….. henry , nevermind wouldn’t buy a henry no matter what
Can you get it without the crossbolt safety and drilled and tapped straight. Every ( Remington) Marlin I’ve seen wasn’t drilled straight
That is in no way, shape, form, or fashion “curly maple”. That wood in that photo is called “tiger stripe maple”.
Seriously even if I wasn’t a cabinet maker, a 5 second oogld search shows you what “curly maple” actually is.
Haha, so here’s what a 5 second “oogld” search turned up…”Flame maple (tiger maple), also known as flamed maple, curly maple, ripple maple, fiddleback or tiger stripe, is a feature of maple in which the growth of the wood fibers is distorted in an undulating chatoyantpattern, producing wavy lines known as “flames”.
I’m just saying. Well actually Wikipedia is saying and since it’s on the web then it MUST be true.
The 336 is certainly not the strongest lever action ever made. The locking mechanism is not as strong as the 94, which is actually a falling block repeater.
I think it looks awesome. Everyone has a different taste.
It is a shame that they took a fine rifle & made it cheezy looking. Ever since they stopped making the dull finish rifles they have gone down hill. Be honest the maple is a cost saving factor & nothing else. Sad so sad
Omit the checkering and it would be beautiful. Note to all mfg’s and gunsmiths: don’t ever checker light stained curly maple, just leave it. Only checker darker stained maple, checker it fine and provide extensive coverage (think Safari Browning coverage).
Please look up what curly maple really looks like. This picture is a low grade of “tiger stripe or fiddleback maple”.I have finished/fitted tigertail walnut stocks to actions. You really want a curley or shell frame maple stock, dig out another grand from your pocket. Birds eye is another fine maple for your gun (you can forget checkering on it)
