Is there an easy way to get the mainspring on a 336 in the second notch of the upper tang? I have a hard time just getting it into the first notch. thanks for any help or advice.

I had the same problem with my 94 marlin this a later one 400xxx serial number. It was chambering rounds hard. you had make sure the lever was closed all the way. I bought a lee crimp die & That ...

when Winchester came out with the 33 it is called 33WCF. It was considered a "fad" at that time. Marlin called it 33CF because it did not want Winchester name on it rifles. Apparently when the 33...

Yes I agree with you. I have other Marlins & the powder I use the most is IMR4198. Good accuracy & meters very nicely.

I just purchased a Marlin 336A 1950 model ballard rifling. I intend to shoot cast bullets & need some advice on loads for it. It is chambered for 35 Remington.

I shoot a old 1893 Marlin the same vintage as yours & my load is 30 grs IMR3031 & a 265 gr cast bullet with gas check. very accurate
load & mild enough for older marlins

I agree. Never had a problem with RCBS customer service

I have a Marlin 1895 chambered in 40-82. My load is 28 grains of IMR 4198 & a 280 grain bullet with a gas check sized to .408. My recommendation is slug your bore & determine what size bullets to...

I have an 1893 Marlin with a 28" barrel excellent bore. I have been shooting a 170 gr with a GC &
24 grains of IMR4895. I have had excellent accuracy with this load.

38-55 winchester

You cannot go wrong buying it. You never regret it.

I am very partial to the older Marlins

Yes I would always resize them especially if they are ran thru a expander die

I would trade 50 new winchester 45-70 cases for your 38-56 brass which i can use

I am a Marlin lever gun collector so I have all types of levers. Love them all.

Do you have pictures of the Browning?

That is a very nice looking gun & they are to find too

I need a cast boolit for a 40-70 winchester. should be around 330 grains .408 dia. If you know of anbody who sells them I would appreciate the info. Thanks!

I always been a winchester man. Starline is too hard & stiff

I have an old Marlin 1895(1904) & I shoot 405 gr with a GC & 45 gr of IMR3031. I think it is a petty good thumper.
Doen't bother the old Marlin at all.

I shoot BPCR rifles 45-70 & have used Swiss 1&1/2 Goex & Old Eynsford powders. Granted the black is harder to get(there is only one place in Minnesota that retails it). I like to shoot black for...

1 pound 5744

I took this gun to a smith yesterday & had him fit the front sight better. There was a very small gap between the barrel & sight. He fitted it so it was snug against the barrel. That made a lot of...

As mentioned in previous post 1895 Marlins in 45-90 had a 1-20 twist. I using bullets sized to .459 with a gas check
I have not slugged the bore yet. I thinking it is more of a sight problem now....
