Just got a Marlin 45-70 this past weekend and I'm loving it so far.

All three levers finally done. 30-30 Marlin SBL with RPP stock/handguard and leupold 3-9x. 357 mag Henry Big Boy X with Pew View handguard and leupold 1.5x-4x lvpo. 10mm Marlin Trapper with Magpul ELG hanguard, holosun 507c. Have RPP muzzle breaks on the 30-30 and 357 and a spearhead machine break on the trapper. The spearhead machine is a much better break from recoil reduction and from looks. Upgraded loading gate on all guns and RPP triggers, mag followers. Just missing the 44 mag and 45-70 and my collection is complete. I use 10mm Trapper and g20 for my home defense, and the plan is to use the 357 and 30-30 for hog/coyote/deer. I have about 2-3k rounds through the 357, about 300 or so through the 30-30, and like 500 through the trapper and I got that few weeks back. I have tested a decent amount of ammo and taken them apart a few times over so ask away if you have any questions. I still have so much to learn though. I try to shoot my trapper and g20 weekly with home defense style drills.

I needed a deer rifle to call my own and have been looking at various different calibers and models for months now (from 223 to 300wsm, bolt actions to pumps, levers to semis and everything in between) and yet my gaze always came back to the marlin 336. And finally the other day this showed up at a local pawn shop for 700, 1977 336 .35

Given an Glenfield Mod 60. The previous owner never wanted to mess wolith it.

Looking at it really quick. I don't see the ejector spring. Serial starts in 7028xxxx it doesn't have a bolt hold open, so I'm not sure if its a new or old style.

From what I understand I need that ejector.

Then I'll try it at the range and get a better idea of what its doing.
