Just picked up my latest purchase and my first thread on a new firearm bought by me on this website.
For a long, long time I've wanted a lever action rifle but other firearms and life in general came first. I finally pulled the trigger on a brand new Marlin 336C 30-30. Picked it up at Port Jeff Army Navy and quite pleased with the staff there and the transaction, thanks Peter. I gave the rifle a good going over and its quite nice. the walnut stock is very good although not very well grained but not too plain either. The fit and finish of the metal to wood is very good and the metal has no sharp edges and the bluing looks deep and beautifully done. From the stamp on the barrel the rifle was produced in Dec 2015. As many know there was a serious learning curve by Remington once they took over production. I can say based on the one I picked up today they have got their act together. I haven't fired it yet obviously but will soon enough. Heres a couple pictures
