Hey everyone,

I was looking at maybe ordering a Marlin Trapper 336 in .30-.30 sometime soon. I just wanted to know if there is any guaranteed way of knowing whether they’re Ruger production?

Basically, are all the stainless and threaded barrel Trapper 336’s made by Ruger?

I see them in stock at a few places, but when I emailed asking if these were the Ruger versions no one seemed to understand the question. I just keep getting responses like “we don’t sell used firearms” etc.

Thanks

Does the sellers website list a SKU or catalog number or a model number like “70504” (not to be confused with the gun design model)?

If so, you should be able to verify it on Ruger’s Marlin website https://www.marlinfirearms.com/s/model_336Classic

They’re may be some old-new stock “Remlins” out there but most of what you see online will be Ruger manufactured.
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy Glock and thy AR15, they comfort me.

Ruger made Marlins say manufactured in Mayodan, NC on the barrel.


Get WOKE, go BROKE!

Serial number.  Starts with an "R" maybe?  I can't exactly what the Ruger serial number is, but it's unique

I think the "bullseye" on the buttstock is red on Ruger guns as opposed to black on Marlin ones.

I have the 45-70 trapper. The post above is right, all the Rugers will have Mayoden NC on the barrel.

Yes, no need overcomplicate it, the stainless, laminate stock, threaded barrel 336 in the current Trapper config has only been made by the current Ruger version of Marlin.

Thank you, this is what I was hoping was the case. It makes it much easier.

To everyone else, thank you as well
