Below is a list on how to date your gun based one the Serial number. One such site is this is a great site for information, discussion, and to get any question asked by people that know what they are talking about when it comes to Marlin Firearms. If you are a Marlin fanatic there are many forums and sites dedicated to marlin owners and fans. There are two tall tailed signs that you have a great quality Marlin Firearm made before they where acquired by the Remington Arms Corp owned by the Freedom Group. There will also be a JM stamped on the barrel where the barrel and receiver meet. The better quality Marlin Firearms will be stamped North Haven, Connecticut where John M. The 336 sports a micro-grove 20″ barrel, front and rear sights, and a pistol grip or straight stock depending on the model and year the firearm was manufactured. The Marlin 336 is made commonly in 30-30 and 35 Rem but has been known to be produced in a variety of different calibers. These are just some of the issues consumers are seeing with the newer models of the Marlin 336 line. If you are like me and an avid hunter or just love going to the rang and burning through some ammo you want a firearm that the stock is going to fall off or the rounds will jam constantly. They have had problems with a rough action, poor machining which leaves machining marks visible on the guns receiver, poorly fitted stocks which can cause shooter safety issues, and feeding problems. Remington Arms has had to suspend production and reverse-analyze what the malfunctioning problems of the firearm where. The problems that these newer 336’s are having are more than just a bunch of unhappy customer complaints and grips. This is where we get into the quality of the newer Marlin 336’s. The new models of Marlin’s are produced and owned by Remington Arms Corp. The average Marlin 336 pre safety model is going for anywhere between 300-450 on online auction sites and prices will vary depending on your location and local gun market. Don’t get me wrong there are some models of the Marlin 336 such as the Marauder that bring in substantially more for the collector value.
The pricing isn’t because of collector desirability but because these older models where made to last and will last.
If you find an older Marlin 336 online at sites like and which are online firearms auction sites you will see older Marlin 336’s going for the same price if not more than you can buy a new one. Older models of the Marlin 336 where just manufactured with care, precision, and the utmost quality. The problem with quality lies in the fact that Marlin was sold, moved manufacturing locations, and the quality of product changed. Marlin is known for producing a great quality, low cost firearm that is accurate and sells very well. We just don’t build’em like we used to! I have thought about how to write about this topic for a while and what firearm to use and I finally decided the Marlin 336 was the perfect candidate. Well its so hard to believe because its true. Its hard to imagine that things are built better to day than they where way back when.
