No, not the Frontier.
It's .22 LR.

Right on. Thanks. =)

Super neat-o. I do so like handy carbines in .44 Magnum. 'Gratz.

@CountryGent Rumor has it there was only 1800-2000 of these made. It is by number one of, if not the rarest marlin lever.
That's fine an all but to me the rarity of this lever is how well it handles and shoots. One of those natural pointing, easy to cycle and operate guns that will likely be passed on to the grandkids some day.

Getting a little collection going I guess. Added a Henry All Weather in 30-30 and finally found an 1895 SBL I could afford.

Not sure why I'm drawn to these "modernized" lever guns, but I still want more.

My wife took a hankering to the all-weather .45-70 and we got one finally. I also have a Browning BLR Black Label Takedown in .308. I took all the tactical stuff off of it and made it into a hunting rifle but it's still "modernized."

Marlin 336 30-30 I've been working on. 1948 model. Had never been serviced other than essential cleaning and had collected some rust. Replaced the firing pin and gave it a deep cleaning the other day.

Since my OP in this thread (#484 on 05/26/2021) I have added one lever gun to my collection. It is the companion piece to one shown in the OP - a Model 94 NRA Centennial...

First year for the 336 model, which replaced the previous Model 36. Really a nice rifle!

Nice find!

Old family friend picked up one in .375 in '78. It was his Elk hunting rifle, but I'm sure he used it Deer hunting, too.
He noted recoil was a bit more athletic than the .30-30 version.
After he died, his kids got the gun. Not sure if they still have it.
He put a 1X scope on it and him and my dad both noted it was a bit weak.
1.5X or maybe even 1.75X would've been better.
Dad went with a 2.5X Bushnell Phantom on his .30-30 and it was too strong.

You still looking for one?

I have a couple of the Centerfire Marlins that load like a .22 Rimfire. They're in the .32 H&R Magnum and they go nicely with the Ruger Vaquero(actually a Fixed Sighted Single-6) I have in that caliber! They make Shooting Rabbits and Squirrels a great game.

I have one too, slicked up for competition. FYI, if you need some brass I put some Starline brass on the reloading classified thread yesterday for a good deal. I have about thousands and probably never go through that much in my lifetime, a guy can reload Starline 32 H&R forever. - so selling one of my new boxes of a 1000.

Thousands… not about thousands

Buddy has a nice model 88 in .308 (1959) that his father purchased new at the country store in Hockinson WA.

Made by Ruger Marlin 1895 in .45/70. Burris 2-7 x 32 scout scope. Threaded barrel - can will be ordered soon. Nice grouping at 100 yards with factory Hornady FTX 325 gr. MV 1850 fps. This is a fun rifle.

I inherited my moms 1980's Winchester Classic 30-30 hunting rifle. 28" octagon barrel.
I refinished the wood after I steamed all of the dents out of it. I shoot it every once in a while but, I'd bet it has less than 150 rnds through it. The Weaver scope hasn't been adjusted since 87 because it hasn't needed to be. The steel butt plate is zero fun after the second or third round.

Gorgeous gun, bellarum.
Nice job on refinishing the stocks.
