1922, I think that means the smelter foreman at the steel plant didn't have his customary cigar clamped in his jaw the particular day that billet spit out.

You know most 30-30s and lever guns in general suck and can't hit a pie plate at 100 yards.

You’re supposed to fire more than one round to call it a group.
I took my first Bambi at 100 yds with a 1975 marlin 336 with a 4x30 scope from the same era. The die didn't know what hit her.
This thread is hurting my feelings. The absolute worst gun trade I ever made involved a pristine 1968 Marlin 336c-30/30. I justified the trade in my mind because I only gave $150 for the Marlin. I've wished 100 times I'd never traded that rifle off.
The prices will eventually come back down and then a lot of people are going to feel pretty sad about spending $2500 for a $900 rifle.
Do it. I did an old Glenfield 60 just like that. I even cut the barrel and tube off with a hacksaw. Faced it off and bought a hand tool to recess and crown the barrel. I then put a 1913 scout rail on it with a red dot and BUIS. Stained the stock and dark grey. Wish I'd never gotten rid of it. There's a thread on here somewhere about it.

I've been wanting to chop up and play with one for awhile and finally found a good candidate. I wanted to stay in the 30/30 caliber due to its ballistic similarities to 7.62x39 and I feel (can't prove) that the additional barrel band on the Marlin 336 hampers accuracy over the older Glenfield...
