The Marlin Model 336<\/a> is the same age I am, both of us arriving in 1948. It was based upon earlier Marlin rifles, the 1893 and 1936, later renamed the Model 36. Based on the patents of L.L. Hepburn, the Model 1893 incorporated a new locking bolt system and a two-piece firing pin, which was carried forward to the Model 336. The Model 336 design improvements<\/a> include an open ejection port on the side of the receiver, a stronger and simpler round-profile, chrome-plated breech bolt, redesigned cartridge carrier, improved extractor, and coil-type main and trigger springs in place of the flat springs used in earlier Marlin rifles.<\/p>\n

Classic Choices<\/h2>\n

In small town Mississippi where I grew up, opening day of deer season was automatically an excused absence, should you not show up for school that day. I didn\u2019t have a deer rifle, but I hunted deer with slugs in my shotgun. Of course, I wanted a deer rifle.<\/p>\n
