Help talk me into or out of a Marlin 30-30

[ripnbst]

I picked up a JM stamped 336 in .30-30 for $325 out the door probably 8 months ago. It had an issue with rounds sticking in the chamber when it got hot but I was able to fix that.

Say ripnbst you don't leave that nice rifle propped up by the front door all the time do you? $325, You got a deal.

Could have swore I saw a few but maybe they were mislabeled.

The pictured rifle in that listing is an 1893...

rip, what boltie is that? The mag/trigger guard looks mighty familiar, but I just can't put my thumb on it.

Remington Model 700 with detachable AR-15 style magazine?

OP the only time I would try to talk you out of 30-30 would be if you and I spotted one at the same time and I wanted it too. But I would say go for it myself. An underrated round and rifle by a lot of folks.

Well if you want a Marlin Texan 30/30 like mine (but this one ISN'T mine!!) Just saw this on Texas Gun Trader.

Dang if it isn't the spitting image of mine without the Skinner sight (but the saddle ring is gold!)

I say if you had one and you miss it, get another one and don't be afraid to customize it.

I bought my first rifle, a Marlin Glenfield 30-30, when I was fifteen. It's the one I'll never sell.

As much as my wife tells me I forget stuff i should go check and see if it's still out there.

It's a modified Remington 700. Pacific Tool & Gauge detachable bottom metal (which is the mag and trigger housing) running an Accuracy International AICS single stack 5 round .308 magazine (.260 REM rifle). Running a Timney 510 flat face trigger.
