JM Marlin Value

[Blastattack]

I have the opportunity to buy a JM stamped Marlin 336 in .35 Remington for just under $500. Assuming the bore, metal and wood are in good to very good shape, is this a reasonable price? I do not know the exact model or trim, though I’m assuming it is some variation of the 336.

That's a decent price.

Yes it is if it’s as you describe.
Get any ammunition if it’s available too.

I grab it for that price if it's in good shape

If you don't buy it...let me know, I'll take it! Just sayin... I just recently purchased 3 Marlin rifles all JM stamped, a 30-30, 32 special and a 45-70, all in immaculate condition. If i could find a 35 Rem it would complete my collection.

No, no it woodn't.
44 mag, 444 and a few t'uthers.

I have dies if needed.

Fair price, depending on condition, if good or better.
I paid more than that for mine last year, but it is in excellent condition and came out of a collector's set of duplicates.

Thanks guys. I'll double check the condition this weekend and see what's what. Kinda figured it would be neat to have a gun that shares the same ammo as my Remington Model 8, which fathered the .35 Remington cartidge.

Not fancy, but it’s honest. Bore looks good. General wear. Action is a little sticky opening, but might just need some cleaning. Sorry for upside down pic, posting from phone.

Couple comments: rifle looks in good shape and the steel tube weaver should be worth close to 100. But 336 fore-end wood should extend forward from the rear bbl band; it appears to have been lopped off. Appears rear swivel missed the bullseye. 35 Rems much harder to find than they were 6-7 years ago. Price is OK; I would sell the scope and replace the fore-end.

Yup, you did well!

I used my Marlin 336 in 35Rem for whitetail deer this past fall with Hornady's LeverEvolution. It's in the never sell category!
