I started cleaning up an old Marlin 336 made in 71. It has a place for a saddle ring, a straight stock, and a square lever. Does that make it a Texan? Would it be marked somewhere on the gun?
The fron swivel is a clamp onto the magazine. I'm assuming the later models use the front band with swivel. Can anyone verify?
I'm going to need a few small parts and tried Brownells and Numrich. Is there another place to buy parts other than ebay?
Shoots great, just trying to make it prettier. The old stock had 2 wood screws near the tang to repair some cracks. The metal had some surface rust but it's cleaning up nice.
