Value of 30 year old Marlin?

[Davidk]

A friend has a 30 year old 336CS in 30/30. Claims it is new in the box, but there are some scratches from storage. Current used ones seem to be around $800, but I am guessing the older ones were higher quality and probably worth more. Anyone have an idea of value? NOT for sale, but owner is looking for value for insurance

Half that

I have a 1954 Marlin 336RC 35Rem. the wood shines & the action is the smoothest thing ever. I wouldn't part with it.

550-700, depending on gullibility of buyer. A year ago, 450. If it is in 35 Rem, it will bring a premium. A 30 year old Marlin 336 in 30-30 is still only a 1990ish rifle. Get back to the 40's and 50's for collectors grades!~!

My Dad had one in the 35 Rem as well, damn deer killing machine.

That is what I speak of!!! I have a 1961 in 35 Rem and an 336 ADL in 30-30, my birth year. Smooth as butter!!

He's part of the original gang, maybe cut the guy some slack.

If you go to gun broker and use the advanced search you can select the completed tab and see what they have actually been selling for.

ETA:
A JM stamp on the barrel means that the barrel was made by Marlin and adds value.

Very sweet rig you got there.

Have one in .44Mag from the early 80's and I'm never selling it. I swear it doesn't have a box of ammo thru it.

The action in my 1965 wood still shines and is the smoothest thing....Oh crap...

Never mind...Wrong forum ..

I kick myself in the ass for not grabbing the one that I saw in the early 2000's for $300, it was beat but it only added to its character

My first legal Long Gun purchase around 1970-71 was a Marlin Lever Action in .44 mag. still have it , not selling it .

I picked up a 1966 336rc in 30-30 recently.

 

[jpm]

30 years is only 1991. That's not really considered 'older' for these guns but it is more desirable as a pre-Remington Marlin.

 

[hillman]

I have mine, my father bought it for me when I was in high school, probably about 86, He kept it after I went to college, and had it for 30 years, and I got it back right before he passed away. If my son only wants one of my guns when I'm gone, I hope it's this one, or my dad's .22 revolver.

Nice artwork.

Thanks, it’s actually carved. Not sure if it came like this or it’s someone’s handy work.

I paid $350 for a minty old 336 a couple years ago. I paid a premium because it was from a buddy who owned it for 35 years.

 

[FalArAk]

So, OP instead of going on Gunbroker and scouring the internet looking at closed auctions past and present to try and get a value FOR HIS FRIEND, posts on here for a bunch of people to do the work for him so he can tell his friend and take all the credit.

Pretty f'n clever, hopefully nobody will catch on.

I will say $650 value.

I really hoped this was about an old fish

I have '51, '54, and '68 336s all in 35 Rem, they show honest use but yea, those actions are buttery slick. There is a local shop that has a late 60s vintage 336 in 444 Marlin That I have been going back and forth about. Just what I need, another caliber thats near impossible to find ammo for and I really have no use for..LOL

Got this for my 11 year old for Christmas last year... Marlin 39D .22....manufactured 1971... "Mint" Paid about $500. Internet says $ 800-1100....Maybe, maybe not. Don't care... It's a fabulous gun. My kid is lucky to have it and he knows it. He thought he was getting an airsoft and just about shit his pants when he saw this. And it's not his first gun.

 

[jpm]

@Irish65 I would take one Marlin 39 over 5 Henrys any day of the week!

 

[PatMcD]

$800??!! There's only about 5 million of them out there.
In 30-30 it's a $400 gun.

 

[Stape]

Maybe location matters, but here in MO it'd maybe bring $400-$500 depending on how bad a buyer wanted it. With some honest wear from use it's not uncommon to see them in pawn shops all over for $275-$300
