My his a hard pull also. You might try wild west guns.INC. Thay clam to have a 2 to 3 lb. trigger pull. Good luck and hope you get big buck this season.
what is the price range on those? do you have to take the gun apart?
My last 336 had a stiff trigger also. It was an older one. I've seen newer ones that were crisper.
I have never been impressed by Marlin firearms' smoothness of action.
My last 336 was rough as a cob but shot well. Then my 1895 45-70 was much better as fit & finish goes. Neither can compare to my 1951 Winchester 94. It's like comparing night and day.
this gun is pretty new. I bought it brand new, never fired about 5 years ago. i brought it to the range to sight in last week and i was shooting a 5 inch pattern. Not very good. I have the over under sight mounts on it which makes it so i cant rest my cheek on the butt and i am pretty consistantly "jerking" the trigger. I am thinking that this is because the trigger pull is to hard. My dad is able to this gun a little better but i dont know whats wrong with it or if its me.
i dont know if it was so much a 5 inch pattern but it somewhere around there.
My marlin is a 336C with a 24 inch barrel. Over 30 yrs old and rides with me in my pick up every place I go. started reloading the new Hornady Leverevolution 160 GR Ftx bullet over their H4895 load. W0000000W what a shooter. Shot a coyote out of the calf pasture at about 200 yards the other day. I've never had a bit of trouble with my 336. Its been shot a couple of thousand times in the last 30 yrs and is still a good shooter. Proves all you need to do is stay with the guns you have and shoot them often. Reloading is a great hobby.
I, too am a big Marlin fan. The trigger can be overcome with practice. Fortunately, 30-30 is one of the cheaper rounds out there. Here's a tip on Marlin lever actions. Check all the screws on the side plate. Actually, check all the screws. Marlins have a wierd tendency to loosen up. They will eventualy cause the lever to hang open. I've had this happen to two different Marlins. Now, before each season, all screws get a once over.
Hey guys, im a new Marlin 336A 30/30 onwer but its a old style rifle. im wanting to mount a scope on it but it doesnt have the receivers on it. Is that something i can do at home or do i need to take it to a gunsmith??
I own a marlin 336 and love it, it is very accurate I am gonna make some 170 grain loads with speer hot-cor bullets and reloader 15 that will make it more powerful for black bear hunting. Also to alelliot I would suggest you get a good peep sight instead of a scope.
