  • Marlin 336 the Other Classic Backwoods Home Deer Rifle
    Marlin 336 The other classic backwoods home deer rifle By Massad Ayoob In the March/April 2005 issue of Backwoods Home Magazine, this space was devoted to the “Winchester ‘94: the Classic Backwoods Home Deer Rifle.” And you know, even when I was writing that paean to the lever-action .30-30 that sold over five million units since the year 1894, I knew that I’d have to follow up with an article on the other such deer rifle, Marlin’s Model 336. Marlin introduced their Model 1893 rifle in the eponymous year, initially in old black powder calibers like the .32-40 and .38-55, but soon chambered for the .30-30 Winchester round. Some 900,000 of these guns were made between then and 1935, when the company replaced it with their sleeker Model 36. Where Winchester emphasized a lean, mean straight- stock design with a slim, spare fore-end, the Marlin had a pistol grip style stock with its lever loop bent accordingly, and a fuller fore-end. These attributes were carried into the newer gun, destined to be their longest-lived deer rifle: the Model 336, introduced in 1948 and still Marlin’s most popular hunting rifle. The rest, as the saying goes, is history. At the SHOT Show—it stands for Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade, the largest trade show in the firearms industry—in Las Vegas in January, 2005, I had the privilege of looking over a handsomely engraved rifle that was Marlin’s four millionth Model 336. From the early days, the Marlin’s solid frame with ejection to the right side (instead of out the top of the mechanism, as with the Winchester) was one of its distinguishing features.

    Curios or Relics List — Update January 2008 through December 2008 Firearms automatically attain curio or relic (C&R) status when they are 50 years old. Any firearm that is at least 50 years old, and in its original configuration, would qualify as a C&R firearm. It is not necessary for such firearms to be listed in ATF’s C&R list. However, if your C&R item is regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA) and you desire removal from the provisions of the NFA, you must submit the firearm to the Firearms Technology Branch for evaluation and a formal classification.

  • Assault Weapons Ban of 2013
    ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN OF 2013 U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein A bill to ensure proper regulation of military-style 331 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition http://feinstein.senate.gov feeding devices. 2/13 20152370 Confronting Assault Weapons in Society More than eight years have passed since the federal Assault Weapons Ban on military-style firearms expired in 2004. Since then, more than 350 people have been killed and more than 450 injured by these weapons. Towns like Newtown, Aurora and Tucson are now known for the mass shootings that shocked the nation. Mass murders in these towns and others across America demonstrate all too clearly the need to regulate deadly assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines. On January 24, 2013, we gathered to introduce a new Assault Weapons Ban of 2013. This legisla- tion, stronger than the 1994 bill, has two primary goals: • First, halt the sale, manufacture, transfer and importation of 157 of the most commonly-owned military-style assault weapons and ban an additional group of assault weapons that are particularly lethal because they can accept a detachable ammunition magazine and have one or more military characteristics. • Second, ban large-capacity magazines and other ammunition feeding devices that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. These devices allow shooters to fire numerous rounds in rapid succession without having to reload. We firmly believe that weapons designed for war have no place on the streets of a civilized soci- ety. We must enforce existing law and enact commonsense measures to stop the proliferation of military-style assault weapons while protecting the rights of law-abiding citizens who use guns for hunting, household defense or legitimate recreational purposes.
