One good way to get real-world prices is to get a (free) account on GunBroker or similar gun-auction site, and see the COMPLETED sales prices for the firearms in question.

"I have searched Gun Broker completed sales to no avail, cant find even one 336A DL".

Hope it's ok to post this here: I have two Marlin 336's made in about 1950, both with the factory original receiver sights, 24" barrels and similar condition. One is a 336A in .30-30, the other is a 336A DL .32 Special with the checkered stock and sling swivels. I have searched Gun Broker compl...

Considering the time period, he may have been referring to his Smith carbine. A later editor, having little knowledge of firearms, would have added the Wesson and maybe even the "target rifle". Or, it could have been a Frank Wesson rifle with the "Smith" added by a later editor....

I think Bill In Oregon is on the right track, the Smith and Wesson 320 wasn't produced until 1870 according to my books. Writing 45 years after the events in the book, the author might very well have remembered "Smith and Wesson" for "Wesson". In those days, it was common for fac...

I just finished reading a copy of "The Indian War of 1864" written by Captain Eugene F. Ware, first published in 1911 and reprinted in the 1960s by Bison Books. This person fought in several battles of the Civil War and was then assigned duties as a Cavalry officer guarding the Immigrant t...

I absolutely cannot get a piece of liver into my mouth, not any kind of liver in any form whatsoever. I would lie right down beside a liver and starve to death.

Well, I think I have it whipped and it wasn't the primers.

Another time I thought I got a bad batch of CCI rifle primers. Turned out they were just slightly larger diameter than I was accustomed to and required a much firmer press to seat the primer fully and again this was an Earl failure and not a primer failure. I bought 2000 of those many years ago, ab...

My Father was born in 1899, my Mom in 1906. They were always poor when poor meant something, lived a hardscrabble life in rural Wyoming, the Great Depression never ended for them. In later years my Mom was fond of saying "The only good thing about the good old days is that they're gone".

Well, the plot thickens. :D There are two models of the ADL. First Model from 1948-1956 had the checkered stock and forend, along with sling swivels. Second Model 1957-1963 had the Monte Carlo stock with raised cheekpiece and sling swivels. Wood was supplied by Bishop. Second Model is worth 20% more...

I am thinking of selling my Marlin 336A DL, 32 Special, from the 1950 era. I have searched over Gunbroker and cannot find any real comps, there are plenty of 336A models but no 336A DL types recently sold. So, the question, is there much price difference if any between the two? Thanks.

Wise advice here.

The sad fact of this matter is that the majority of voters in that county thought it would be a real good idea to vote for Sheriff Luna and turn their county into a Communist cesspool. The voters are now living in exactly the conditions they wanted.
