That's a good idea AJMD429. A little Loctite, them lower the screws till flush with the receiver.
I'll give that a try this weekend.
I'll check out a few of the sites for 35 Rem.
It seems 30-30 and 35 Remington is hard to find these days!
Yet tons of 5.56 and 308 on the shelves!

I'm still hunting down a few boxes of 35 Remington! Nothing in stock at my local gun shop. Does anybody know where I might find the screws for a tapped Marlin 336 from 1954? That was the first year Marlin tapped the receivers. I ordered 4 screws that I thought would fit. Modern Marlin 336 screws fit...

I've had both straight and pistol grip lever rifle, my preference is straight stock. Now an old Marlin 336 Texan in 35 Remington is one I wanted for quite a while! Congratulations on your fine-looking Marlin 2ndovc! My local gun shop had a few nice old levers in stock! A nice 1895 JM Marlin Guide gu...

Last weekend I found a near perfect 1954 Marlin 336 Texan in 35 Rem. L marked ser.#
That was the first year that Marlin tapped the receivers.
I like straight stocks myself.
So, when I saw this old boy priced at $695.00, I grabbed it!
Now the hunt for some 35 Remington ammo.

This morning I decided to stop by my local gun shop {KTP} The guy behind the counter was bringing a good-looking lever action to the floor. A 92% to 95% pre safety Marlin R.C. I checked it out thoroughly, the gentleman let me pull the bolt. The bore was perfect! Lands and groves were crisp like the ...

Wow! Now that's worse than sniping an old Winchester from an elderly gentleman! Ha Ha! Ok I would do the same thing! I'm thinking about asking for a part time job just for a firearm connection! Now my job driving a truck and lifting heavy item all day is about all I can take! You are correct Old Cru...

JOG

No, I have not checked Wildwoods . I'll just wait on something to walk into the Trading Post. Whenever I see an 80-year-old with a rifle case walk up to the trade counter I start to salivate! The old timers always have the best guns! That's when I start spying to see how much is offered for a vintag...

JOG

Hey OldWin, I remember you mentioning that 1876 they had for big money! I'll make sure the crown is even. I went down on a Sunday and the place was a mob scene! Usually, a weekday morning is my favorite time to stop in. That's tough with work. I spotted the 92 behind the counter immediately. I had t...

JOG

Thanks for all the feedback gentlemen! Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I could not seem to log in. I've been trying to for days! This weekend I'll really give the 92 a thorough going over! I've read that the 25-20 is made in only about 4% of the 92's. Believe it or not my gun shop has 25-20 ammo on occ...

JOG

This morning I popped into my local gun shop. Kittery Trading Post. There on the shelf were two nice old levers! An 1889 Marlin in 44-40 and a Winchester 92 in 25-20!!!!!!!! Now I haven't seen a model 92 in a few years! $1,150 on both of them!! I put a down payment on the Winchester 92. I don't know...

JOG

I need to do that to my Blackhawks!
They look good and the angle of the hammer is far superior to the standard one!

JOG

GunnyMack stole my thunder!
No S&W's for socialist slums with anti-gun views. Most of the places you need a gun you're not allowed to own one!
Most of the places your allowed to carry concealed you don't really need on.
Pack one just in case!
Johnny

JOG

I have a 586 with a 6-inch barrel. It's one hell of a shooter!
Now I don't have a Vaquero, but I do have a few Blackhawk Flattops.
Enjoy plugging away at your targets!
As it cools down, I'll be doing some shooting myself.
I can't think of a better way to spend the afternoon!
Johnny

JOG

As of lately, for fun it's my Winchester 9422 XTR. and my 1894c Marlin in 357.
Nothing like a lightweight handy lever gun!

happy Birthday sir!
Enjoy your day.

Cowardice is not a good trait in their chosen profession!
Fire the lot of them!

JOG

It's funny that there was no 30-30 for quite a while.
Now at the same time there was always plenty of 308 available!
The prices are generally crazy.
Lot's more 22 cal. shooting over bigger calibers.

Southern Maine has been unusually humid, in the upper 80's. Low 90's in Sanford this afternoon! I can't wait for it to pass! The Gulf of Maine is now 61 degrees. Perhaps this weekend I'll jump in! Ball shrinking cold water is the remedy for this heatwave! Although a few Great Whites have been spotte...

A good JM Marlin 1894 in 44 mags the way to go!
Good shooter and minimal weight.
The prices on them have skyrocketed the past few years!
Especially the 1894 in 357!

JOG

I've seen three or four of the 336 in 44 mag for sale in the past 15 or so years. They last made them in the 60's. I know they were a commercial failure. Some were good, some were bad! From memory I think they were made for four or five years. The receiver was a bit to long for a pistol bullet. I wo...

I don't like it above 80 degrees! I handle the cold better than the heat.
I've been to Florida a few times, I thought I would die!
Today's high was 74 here in Maine.
That was too hot for me.
I guess it has to do with your genetics.

If you plan on luging it, don't skimp on a cheap holster!
Merickel has a good name in leatherwork!
Perhaps I'll give them a try for one of my Smiths.
Hansome gun and holster!

I'll do my best to stay out of trouble. Had a few beers with a buddy that I've known since 4th grade. The wife cooked up some haddock and veggies for us. Laughed our buts off talking about our misspent youth. My ribs are still killing me from all the laughing! In the end it's the funny moments in li...

How are things up north OldWin? Yes, it's tough being a sculpted Adonis!
Perhaps it's my Viking heritage, or my creamy Irish skin.
Although I'm a bit burnt up for fishing over the holiday weekend!
I hope all is well!

I like the post 1982 Winchester 94. They went back to steel forged receivers.
As long as it doesn't have the ugly push button safety!
Every American needs a 30-30 lever action!
Winchester or Marlin.

I'm down on the southern coast of Maine myself. It's a great place to live! The other day I was striper fishing on the Webahannet inlet sweating my azz off! Today I'm cold! It does get hot and humid, but not much. Perhaps 6 or 7 days a year. OldWin is completely right on housing prices! Since covid ...

In my teen years I owned a Winchester 94 in 30-30 and a Marlin 336 in 35 rem. I'm sure you see where this is going, yep! I fired on round of 30-30 in the Marlin 35 cal. I had small metal shaving on my cheek after discharging the Marlin! No damage to the rifle or myself. I never made that mistake aga...

I've been carrying a Colt lightweight commander for a little over a year now.
Pretty much my favorite carry gun these days.
A good holster and belt and your all set.
Definitely in 45acp.

Accuracy, weight distribution and overall comfort in bringing it up to your shoulder put Winchester ahead of Marlin. I guess the streamline design of the Winchester beats the older chubby perch belly handguard of the Marlin. If I'm shooting from a bench, I'll take the Marlin with more weight and lig...

I stopped by my local gun shop this morning to pick up a little J frame 37 no dash Airweight Chiefs Special model. It's so light it seems like a toy! I wanted a small J frame to put in my pocket when I don't feel like lugging a bigger firearm. Anyway, back to lever guns. On the shelf was an excellen...

I'm a big fan of both! This week I'll say Winchester over Marlin.
Next week it may be the other way around.
Pre safety Marlin and pre 64 Winny's are the focus of my modest collection.

I smoked cigarettes for years in my youth. I quite cold turkey half a dozen times! I finally put them down forever about 3 or 4 years ago. I only smoke 5 or less my last 5 years of smoking. My only vise now is a few beers on the weekend. After a long week of breaking my aXX at work. Never a hangover...

This morning I stopped by my local trading post to pick up a few pair of Carhart jeans. No jeans in my size. They had a nice old Winchester 94 with 26-inch barrel in 38-55. Somebody attempted a rebluing job and failed miserably! It had the Win. logo on the tang, so pre-1940. Ser.# was just over 1 mi...

I'm very comfortable with a pump action shotgun next to my nightstand. I also have my Colt 1911 in the nightstand drawer.
Around here it's critters with 4 legs more that the two-legged type that go bump in the night.

These days a good quality beer in moderation is about it for me! 5 or 6 pints of Guinness is all I need on a weekend evening! When I was younger, I've overindulged quite a bit.

The rarity of the pre 64 Winchester these days is one reason I personally shoot the later AE models, along with my 40+ year old Marlins. You just don't see many pre 64 for sale anymore! When you do the prices are crazy! I'll always take out the oldies a few times a year for some fun. Pre WW1 models ...

If it's a Winny, it has to have a half cock. Years ago, I had a color cased Winchester 94 in 45 Colt. It had that dang rebounding hammer and the tang safety. I couldn't get used to it and traded it off for something or another. I hope all is well up north! The snow is near gone here on the south end...
