Talk:Marlin Model 336

.219 Zipper????
Can anyone confirm or provide evidence that the 336 was at one time offered in this obscure caliber? User Tengu99 added the info both to this article and to the article on the chambering itself. I am leaving it for now (March 2, 2009), but somebody reading this in the future should see if any proof has been given.SB Pete (talk) 23:44, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

NRA Guide to Firearms Assembly, Marlin Model 336, article by James M. Triggs, listed calibers for 336 as .219 Zipper, .30-30, .32 Special and .35 Remington. Copyright was 1980, but the Guide was compiled from monthly features in the NRA journal American Rifleman from previous years. Most 336 are .30-30 with .35 Remington second choice. .219 and .32 are uncommon. Naaman Brown (talk) 13:19, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Appropriate product placement?
is it appropriate to have product placement on Wikipedia?

"If Hornady's[1] "Lever Evolution" ammunition is used, the effective range of the .30-30 Winchester and .35 Remington is increased to approximately 300 yards."

i'll remove this as of now...

______

Yes, actually. Normally I would not think product placement appropriate, but Hornady LeverEvolution ammunition is a bit of an exception. LeverEvolution ammunition uses special polymer tipped projectiles which allow the use of aerodynamic, high Bc bullets. Without this specific ammunition, blunt tipped, lower Bc bullets must be used which significantly change the trajectory and practical range of the cartridges used. Use of traditional pointed bullets runs a risk of accidental discharge of cartridges within the magazine tube under recoil impulse. See the .308 Marlin Express, and .338 Marlin Express articles for more details. In any case, nobody else is making this kind of ammunition at present time. I would venture a guess that by the time somebody duplicates these things, the name will have been xerox-ized. (no, I don't work for Hornady or Marlin)

I have put some references to the ammo back in. SB Pete (talk) 23:40, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Propose merge or deletion
30-30 marlin, started on 4 November 2008 by novice user Earlsj, appears to be attempting to duplicate the content of this article &mdash; and faring badly in the attempt. I propose that any useful prose in said article be merged into this article and then to delete "30-30 marlin". &mdash;QuicksilverT @ 17:37, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Marlin 1895?
If it would help the article, I can create and upload a picture of the Marlin 1985 Cowboy model. As it is now, the article references this model, but there is no picture. Surv1v4l1st (Talk 23:37, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Date of Ruger buying the rights to the rifle
From the information table in the top right of the page:

"Purchased by Ruger in 2300"

I could be mistaken, but unless this was written by a time traveler, I feel that Ruger purchased the rights to this model sometime PRIOR TO the Year of our Lord 2,300. :) Renathras (talk) 09:28, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
