    This gun Shure is nice to carry while sneaking around in a cedar swamp compared to my longer heavier guns.

    You've got yourself a nice "Trapper " there.

    Nice looking 35, congrats.
    Looks like my '75, that I had chopped to 16.5". Yes very handy walking in the woods.
    A 200 gr cast over 34.0 hrs of 3031 is dandy load and works well in both of my 35's.

    Congratulations freetrapper. Nice looking rifle. Just purchased me a Marlin 336BL with 18.5" barrel in 30/30. Love it!

    Comparing those custom trappers- two different methods- both neatly done. I like them both. River bottom special!

    Nice looking gun for a first lever . I just picked up my first Marlin about a month ago . It's a 336 35 rem getting very good results with the lee 358-200 and IMR 3031.

    Very nice rifle. You can NEVER go wrong with a lever gun.

    Cedar swamps and snow. Could be a lot of places. Care to narrow it down some, maybe a State? Curious minds want to know.

    The .35 Remington is such a good woods caliber and it mates perfectly with the 336. Easy to mount a low power scope or Red Dot too. There will a slight velocity loss with the shorter barrel but to me it is a worthwhile trade off to get a rifle that is easier to handle.

    I really like your gun. Good luck with it!
