Looking for information at to the rarity of this particular model.
It has a shorter magazine than the other models I have seen.
I did find out it was made in 1953, has been refinished I am told
but it is in very nice condition. What would be the value?
I am not looking to sell it i am just curious.
thanks
 
The A model has these features:
- 24 inch barrel
- abbreviated magazine tube
- absence of barrel bands

Typical pricing here in Pennsylvania is $450. for this rifle.

The primary advantage of the longer barrel is increased velocity.

I have one too.....

And they go for $400 - $500 around here. It is my primary deer gun. Just a real hoot to shoot - that longer barrel adds a fair amount to accuracy and velocity over my standard sized .30/30's......

Thanks for information, guys
Ihave a couple of other questions
What is the JM stamp significance I see on some models
What is the difference in the RC model.
As you can see I need to increase my knowledge of these rifles,
so I am going to what I feel is a good resource.
I appreciate the help
 
RCs are carbines (often advertised or described as "20 inch" or "19.5 inch" barrel - but it's actually more like 19.1" or 18.9", depending on the year).
They have full length magazine tubes, slimmer forestocks, and use barrel bands.

Depending on the year, they can be found in straight-grip or pistol-grip configurations.

If you aren't familiar with Marlins, they'll appear to be exactly the same as 336Cs, 336Ws, 336SCs, and a few other variants.


The "JM" stamp is a proof mark indicating it is a Marlin barrel. Other than the rifles that were assembled by Remington, after moving Marlin production, verifying that the JM stamp is present is just a way of checking to make sure it isn't a replacement barrel.
