1951 336 in 35 Rem.

Found a Marlin JM 336 in 35 Rem. at a WV gun show about a month ago. (Not a waffle top). Gun showed some usual wear and tear, and guy wanted $900. Looked through the barrel and all I could see was dust, dirt and whatever,....couldn't distinguish the rifling it was so dirty. Asked the guy to wipe out the bore so I could check it out.

His answer, "Come on, it's a 35 Remington, nobody shoots one of them out!"

I replied I was not worried about the barrel being "Shot out", I was worried about rust and pitting!

He didn't want a patch through the barrel, so I laid the rifle on the table and walked off.

Some of these gunshow sellers are like used car salesmen. "Let the buyer beware!"

Love my waffle top 35 rem. sporter. I shoot Lee’s copy of the 35-200 FP gas check. 12 grs. unique for about 1500 FPS. Life is good. It already had a rear peep sight that is so dialed in. Bonus if your gun still has the pre 1972 sight hood.
