    Question Does Anyone Else Recall The, Much Too Short-lived, 'Baby Guide Gun'?

    And kick themselves for not getting one of these very practical 35 Remington carbines when they were available.

    What was their model number suffix letter?

    In trying to search for one, I can't weed-out the other Marlin 35's without looking at each listing.

    .35 Remington 336G??

    Thanks, and that's a nice pair of carbines.

    You're either smart, lucky, or both to have grabbed them when the grabbing was good.

    .

    Marlin made an entire series of "guide guns" (short/ported barrels):

    The M1895G (.45-70 )
    The M1895M (.450 Marlin)
    The M336D (.35 Rem)
    The M336LTD (.35 Rem)
    The M444P Outfitter (.444 Rem)
    The M1894CP (.357 Mag)
    The M1894P (.44 Rem Mag)

    I'd forgot that they were ported.

    I see, if not agree with, the rationale in the biggies; but, certainly, not a mild 35R and even little PCCs.

    I like that!

    Did you buy'em when they were being made, or did you have to search high and low near and far?

    I held an 1894P in my hands at the LGS, decided I didn't need it and handed it back. Haven't seen one since around here. Fool!

    I bought the 30/30 about 1969, it was used but like new. I picked up the 35 a few years later. Just
    on a whim because I liked the short barrel. This was way before they became collectors items.
    I remember first time I took the 30/30 to deer camp most of the crew said barrel was to short to
    be practical. The last 20 yrs same guys pester me to death trying to trade me out of it. I have a
    mental cut off date on purchase of guns of all makes. In Marlins that is 1980, anything newer I
    don't pay much attention to as a keeper.

    Mine was $399 new, and I only bought 1. Not too bright there either.

    Don't recall such short barreled models other than the 45-70 Guide rifles. Than again I quit watching Marlin 336 model additions and changes quite some time ago when Marlin started making their {Push-Here} button receivers.
