WTB-Marlin 336 SD which is the 20" barreled sporting carbine with deluxe wood in 32 Special caliber.

Also looking for a Marlin 336 ADL which has the 24" barrel and has to have the Deluxe Bishop wood in 32 Special caliber.

Also looking for a Marlin 336 ADL which has the 24" barrel and deluxe wood in 35 Rem caliber.

Will pay a very good price for original and exc. to mint condition rifles.

PM me if you have one of the above rifles you would consider selling. Thank you in advance.

I would consider 30-30 and 35 Rem also. If you have one of these in any of the 3 calibers lets talk.

BTT-Will offer $2500 as a starting price for original slightly used condition for a Sporting Deluxe Carbine or a 336A Deluxe with Bishop wood in 32 Special. I have a extra 32 Spl. A DeLuxe that I could trade toward either of the above rifles. Also have an extra 35 Rem Deluxe to trade. Lets talk if you have one FS or gathering dust.

BTT-Anyone even have one of these rifles?

Might this help? It's from the 1959 issue of "The Shooter's Bible". If it's not helpful I can remove this post.

It appears that there's an easily missed difference between the models with "BISHOP STYLE MONTE CARLO STOCK" and the ADL with "MONTE CARLO STOCK AND CHEEK-PIECE DESIGNED AND MADE BY BISHOP". The only obvious difference I can see is the addition of a cheekpiece and a sling on the ADL model. See the boxed note at the bottom of the page.

Hi bpesteve-Thank you for the pix. Certainly helps me. I was starting to believe they never made the 32 Spl. LOL Now I now it was offered. I have 2 of the 32Spl ADL's but the Bishop has eluded me along with the SD. Sure wish I could order a oouple of those for $100. LOL I have 3 of the bishops, 2 SD's, 3 ADL's.
Again Thank you. Hunter

Still looking for these rifles. Appreciate any help finding them.

The 32 special was always very uncommon in a Marlin, and the Bishop stocked ones are virtually non existent. In the 50s and 60s, the Marlin was the most common deer rifle in the hills where I am from; half were 30-30 and half were 35. No 32s. Except in Winchesters.

In the FWIW dept., you can form your own 32 win brass from 375 Win, with just one pass in the sizing die. That info + a buck will get you a cup of coffee.

Much easier to use 30-30 brass to form 32 Special.
