Marlin 336 Texan First Look

[@jordansuarez7556]

Love seeing that JM stamp on there !!!

[@leverBoyluke]

Yes indeed we need that proof mark lol

[@rifles_up2263]

Funny the scope is so big for a 4x but I love that it’s a period correct accessory that’s actually usable

[@leverBoyluke]

Yep and still looks very clear

[@COAagent]

I love the sounds that old lever guns make. Can't wait for the range video!

[@leverBoyluke]

Me too!!! So satisfying to listen to! Yes it’s coming soon! 👍🏻

[@whitesand8]

Good gosh the action looked/sounded smooth as glass.

[@leverBoyluke]

I know right?! I was sold as soon as I ran it a couple times!

[@russmichael1165]

I got the Texan, mfg 1976, has sling studs on butt stock and mag tube just forward of forearm. Great firearm.

[@leverBoyluke]

Very nice man!

[@russmichael1165]

@@leverBoyluke 👍, I did do some hand polishing to the bolt block, carrier, and lightly on bolt, smoothed action up quite a bit.

[@MrAndrew2456]

My grandpa gave me his 70s remington 700 (30-06 of course), and it has a 3-9 Redfield on it. Boy, those old scopes have such a charm with that tube TV style. Also, crystal clear glass. Very nice lever gun man, good find!

[@leverBoyluke]

Thats awesome man! Yes I agree such a good look! Yeah my glass. looks great when I look through it. Thank you friend ill be taking it out to the range real soon

[@bradbradshaw-i4n]

some of the texans also had a shorter magazine tube below the barrel which i liked the looks of.

[@leverBoyluke]

@@bradbradshaw-i4n I actually have one of those shorter tubes but it’s on my 1949 Waffle top 30/30

[@FatherGregorian]

Just picked up an old 336 with the JM mark also. By the looks of it, might be around the same time period as yours!

[@leverBoyluke]

@@FatherGregorian That’s awesome brother! Cherish that baby!

[@bishopcorva]

I see you also have two desk helpers with presentation. Although I was getting the impression that one of them was getting mildly annoyed that your attention wasn't on them at that precise moment. I look forward to running through the library of videos. Looking at the two side by side. The Marlin and Glenfield-Marlin. On the leading portion of the levers that would be against the backs of your fingers. Have you thought about wrapping and tight lacing a sheepskin piece there so any possible sharp edges dig in when running the action in the field? Had to do that to mine, and it just feels so much better to run without dismounting it from my shoulder while shooting.

[@leverBoyluke]

Haha yes you are right about her! Yes I have thought about doing that! I would like to add it to all my lever guns actually! Thanks for the feedback I hope you enjoy my collection of content friend

[@noexcuses6727]

That Redfield scope is a real keeper ! That is the Wide View or TV style.

[@leverBoyluke]

Thanks man! Yes it’s the wide view glass still looks very clear :)

[@noexcuses6727]

I have a 336c 1974 model in .35 Remington. Kicks like a mule.

[@leverBoyluke]

Very nice!

[@douglasreed9237]

I just got the exact same year and caliber, although I haven't fired it yet. It can't kick like the old 300 Weatherby I used to shoot. It's like new with a weaver 3x scope on it. Congrats,

[@ev3dale298]

Same here. I finally put an Allen slip-on pad on it. That helped. It honestly kicked harder and sharper than my 300 Win-mag before the pad. It hurt. Accurate though. 1.5" @ 100 yards all day long.

[@J.Huff76]

I've had a few different caliber Marlins back in the day but the 30-30 is hands down the best. You never have to question the knock down power of the 30-30, and it wont brake your shoulder like a 45-70. I'm a bit of a wee lad so 30-30 is just right for me. Very nice rifle Mr. LeverPro

[@leverBoyluke]

I couldn’t of said it better myself! 30/30 usually has all the power you will need with North America big game. What’s even better is the ammo isn’t nearly as expensive as 45/70. Thank you for the comment bro always like hearing from you!

[@beezowdoo-doozopittybop-bo9127]

Gotta get me a 30-30. This channel isn’t so good for my wallet… what a beautiful gun though.

[@leverBoyluke]

Hahaha I apologize to your wallet. It’s happened to me a lot as well 😅

[@clintbullard709]

@leverboyluke what is the absolute highest price you would actually spend on a marlin lever action.

[@d.hayward5232]

Just picked up a 10mm pistol and a "nameless" rifle this month, and was pretty pleased with myself. But I kinda feel like you are personally forcing me to acquire a Marlin lever gun! 😮

[@leverBoyluke]

Hahaha sorry man I know what you mean though! Always looking at the next gun!

[@drefer96734]

who makes the leather buttstock cartridge holder on the glenfield? TY

[@Highgear145]

Great find for sure..No manual saftey

[@leverBoyluke]

Thanks friend! Right! No silly safety

[@KerryGouldsmith]

I just picked up Marlin 336 1980 from a guy at work needed money badly for 200 hundred that's all he wanted . Jumped right onitsha when he said 200 hundred the gun is great shape no scope.

[@leverBoyluke]

Hell yeah great deal

[@douglasreed9237]

Nice rifle, congrats and nice review.

[@leverBoyluke]

@@douglasreed9237 Thank you!

[@alexguzman230]

Well worth the 1000 bucks it cost! It’s nothing considering nowadays everything is well near the 700-1000 dollar mark unless you’re buying a PoS Glock. You got quite a steal and I envy you for it! SHES A BEAUTY!

[@leverBoyluke]

Thank you man! Yeah for real! Before the pandemic I paid 350$ for my first Marlin! So crazy how prices shot up.

[@drgrimdeath1]

I could be wrong but your serial says it’s a 1977.

[@mikehancho1613]

If ruger/marlin remakes the texan they got my money! 100%

[@leverBoyluke]

Heck yeah!

[@MrTkshiu]

Why do you prefer the 30-30 to the 45-70?

[@leverBoyluke]

I love the 45-70 and I’ll be getting that Ruger made Stainless SBL as soon as I’m able. 30/30 ammo is less expensive so that’s why I kinda prefer it. Love both calibers though!

[@Highgear145]

@@leverBoyluke I have a Remington made Marlin 45-70 GBL ...45-70 is a complete beast...I think the GBL is the best version because the barrel isn't too long or too short

[@leverBoyluke]

@@Highgear145 I’m happy yours works well bc I know they had issues in the beginning

[@rays.5764]

Still need to get you a Mare's Leg.

[@leverBoyluke]

Yes lol Probably be a while though bc I’m more of a rifle type.

[@lorentcase1023]

Nice!!

[@leverBoyluke]

@@lorentcase1023 Thank you!

[@Nikkiwho791]

That model was introduced in 1980 Marlin Made the straight grip T for K-mart they originally sold for $127.89 now that's a $1100 Rifle all day, And within the week you will have a 1956 T in 35 Remington the only lever caliber that you can shoot a deer in the a$$ with and drop it,🤣🤣

[@leverBoyluke]

Oh that’s a interesting fact I didn’t know! Started in 1980 huh? Haha I look foward to the big boy 35! Speaking of that! My dad shot his biggest buck straight up the rear end and dropped it 😅
