Marlin 30/30 win.

whiteoaks
Hope someone doesn't mind educating me a little. I recently purchased a used Marlin 30/30 win. for my son. The stamping on the left-hand side of the barrel indicates a model 03030 micro-grove barrel. I am wanting to put a scope and sling on the gun but have a question about the rifle model number so that I am sure to get the right bases and sling mount hardware. In looking at the Marlin Firearms website I only see references made to model 336 with sub-lettering. I am probably looking in the wrong place on the rifle and can not find that number or anything close stamped on the rifle. Is it possible that it could be hidden under the front stock. I can't help but think that it is a model 336 but I want to make sure before I start buying hardware. The first two digits of the serial number are 15 and as best that I can find out in my research it would appear that the rifle was manufactured in 1985. I will probably want to go with Weaver or Leupold bases and rings and want to make sure I get the right ones. I am not at all sure at all about the sling mounting hardware, (manufacturer, part number, etc). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx for the assist.

    My Marlin 336CS SN 17XXXXXX has the following on the left hand side of the bbl:

    MOD 336CS MICRO-GROOVE BARREL CAL 30/30 WIN.

    I bought it used in mid 80's...a real shooter!

    I used a Weaver base...IIRC, I used Uncle Mikes sling mounts.

    quote:13. Q) What is the small round black and white dot on the bottom of my Marlin stock?

    A) This is the Marlin "Bullseye". This trademark has been used since 1922 on all Marlin walnut buttstocks. Please note that this is not a suitable place to install a swivel for you firearm. Swivels should be mounted approximately 2 inches from the toe of the butt.

    Hi, whiteoaks. A 1985 336 is just that. good rifle, but nothing odd about it. Just pop into your local shop and tell 'em what you want to do and they'll sell you the right bases. While I'm not a big fan of scopes on lever actions, screws up the balance, a low magnification scope will be best. Mind you, it would be better if he learns to shoot it with iron sights first, then put the scope on. Scopes can break. If he is dependent on it, his hunt can stop if the scope gets damaged.
