Yes. It’s a “5P” IIRC. Yea, I know...that and the Lyman have been around for years, but it takes away from the lines of the gun. Unfortunately, my eyeballs could use the help. It’s an early 50s so its not an AE and its tapped.
I tossed it in the truck on Monday, tucked it between the console and the seat. Looked perfectly at home. No rails, lights, BUIS, just utility.
Yea...I’ve started looking around for some lighter weight jacketed if my deams of the great buffalo hunter fail. Lol
5P or 5D?
I use the Lymans mostly, but started buying the 56s before they became collectible. Neat looking old sights. The current Lyman 66s arent too bad. I used them before discovering the 56s.
5D. My bad.
I’ll have to keep an eye out for a 56.
Digging up this thread since there are quite a few knowledgeable folks here on lever guns-
I’m about set to buy a thirty thirty Marlin 336, is there any reason to choose another model than the 336Y? I’m five seven, 160, so I think it would be sized decently. Usage would be for deer and just as a general purpose woods gun in the South East. Potentially interested in scoping it, my understanding is the 336’s are drilled and tapped for scopes.
If you handled it and it wasn't uncomfortably short I think you'll love it. I like shortish stocks on fast handling carbines, especially when one is layered up in deer season. It's been cold in the Chattahoochee NF lately.Originally Posted by Moshjath

Suggestion: Quality (DNZ) scope mount. Note theire are multiple heights available and you want the lowest you can get away with. Stay away from the cheap-o see-through mounts.

Suggestion: Weaver 1x3 scope, IMHO worth the $. For my eyes this greatly improves the utility (precision first, accuracy second) of the 30-30, even at a 1x setting. Yes, it adds a little weight and may not be quite as fast even at 1X but it works well for my needs (I usually have more time, desire to make a more precise shot and weight isn’t an issue).

Are you now, or have you ever been a member of the Doodie Project?
I'm 6'3" and my main squeeze is a 20" 336c. Everytime I pickup a 336Y I wish I had it instead. Just haven't gotten around to that project yet, but it will happen.
I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.
Picked one of these 1894 SBL .44s up Saturday and only fired a few shots through it yesterday. It looks very well put together and cycles snick snick smooth through just a small amount of shooting.
I cut the shake down shoot short because the dag gum set screws of the XS peep were so tight I broke off the tip of one screwdriver and then spun the shaft in the handle of two others!
Once I got home I got a bigger one and managed to break one loose so I could "spin" the rear peep up a bit.
POI was good for windage but low for elevation by a few inches at 25 yards.
The thick recoil pad really makes this one shoot soft vs my son's .44 Marlin.

F^%&*K Yea!
Finally, a manufacturer is on my channel!
I'd prefer the .44Mag but I already have a Multi-Cal 9mm suppressor that would work for the .38/.357 model.

My LGS also had the threaded barrel .357 model handy but an employee there had snagged it to M-Lok the fore end and really trick it out; with a light I presume. They ain't cheap.
