Good 01' Waffle Top

摘要

Chances are, when somebody's talking about a traditional full-length tubular magazine lever gun, your mental picture of it will be a top-ejecting Winchester Model 94 or a side-ejecting Marlin 336. Both pretty much define ".30-30 carbine." But in the case of Marlin's 336 platform, it may not be a .30-30. Or a carbine. Or, for that matter, sporting a full-length magazine. One choice example fell into my hands recently. It belongs to a friend and Marlin fanatic Doug Fee, whose incurable auction addiction occasionally pays big dividends. This time it certainly did at an obscenely reasonable "gavel price." Made in 1950, it's a two-third-length magazine, 24-inch-barreled Model 336A in .35 Rem.
