30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres

U get UR Makita and drill a hole all the way through the Receiver just in front of the Hammer. 1/4 in hole works best. Use a machine screw with course threads not fine threads, stick it through the hole with hammer cocked and install the nut. Finished.

Forget the drill, too slow. Use a cutting torch.

KirkD may be right - wild and crazy guy that he is but you are eventually going to have to clean up the hole with a drill. Sometimes I wonder if Kirk may not have spent too much time at -35 to -45 degrees. Use the bicep my ---

By the way, I have a similar year that they left the safety off when you figure this out.

No...wait....drill a 3/8" hole & go down to your local hardware store & get a big ol' honkin'
Yale lock. It'll look like a saddle ring. Try not to lose the keys.
Merry Christmas to you too Pard & happy New Year!

Re: How can I put crossbolt safety on an old Marlin 336?
Just go find someone who uses a perforating gun and get one of the shaped charges from that. Anyone who knows that 2 joints make a stand, and that getting high doesn't involve substance abuse would know about a perforating gun. Or you could just not make all the old codgers around here have apoplexy in the first place.

I've also been avoiding this thread thinking that it would get ugly. Frankly though, I like the Master Lock idea. Merry Christmas.

I about broke my arm trying to offer to trade you mine with the safety before anyone else did

Re: How can I put crossbolt safety on an old Marlin 336?
God knows they need one - but - only you have actually seen this dire need and had the forward thinking stance to bringing it to the masses. i don't think I would trust anyone who doesn't think they need a safety without one. Hunted with two guys like that - can you say accidental discharge. Make that two - one each.
Re: How can I put crossbolt safety on an old Marlin 336?
that was good real good--MADE ME LOOK... :)
Re: How can I put crossbolt safety on an old Marlin 336?
If your actually serious I saw one with a safety attached for 275.00 I would buy it, and swap you even up !
