Hello all -
I may have an opportunity to pick up a Marlin 336 in 44 magnum. I've done as much reading as I can scouring the interwebs, and have gathered the 336 was only made for a few years in 44 magnum before they switched it to the 1894. There is some alleged chambering/feeding issues, but it seems like that isn't a common occurrence reported by most owners. I was hoping someone here may have had some experience with one before I make a commitment and run to get it.
I do not know yet whether this particular rifle has the saddle ring that some came with, but it is said to be in very good condition. They are asking $500 for it, which seems to be the average price for these as of late. I will be calling to get more information on it later. Thank you for any and all help!
