Re-finishing my Marlin 336

Hello friends and family. I am sorry for the delay in my next video but this one took a little time. This video is of me refinishing my 336 Marlin. I purchased this last fall for a decent price with the thought of refinishing it over the winter. With fuel prices and Covid and everything else going on this took longer than I thought it would. I also had to order the DuraCoate in "Tactical black" and then wait for the weather to warm up enough to be able to stain the stocks and apply the DuraCoate to the metalwork of the rifle. I am very pleased with how it turned out. I wanted a satin finish to the stock and the rifle and it is perfect. Thank you all so much for watching. God Bless and Good Hunting! Maine North Woods Hunter (Shane)

I have a 336 with a 4X Bushnell Scopechief IV with a flip mount. It’s awesome.

[@mainenorthwoodshunter3265]

They are great guns. The trigger on my Marlin 336 is the best I have ever had on any lever gun.

Here in maine also. Watching this while taking apart my grandfathers 336 marlin. May he rest in piece its all i have left of him. My dad Broke the stock so im fixing it trying to keep it original. Thanks for the video

[@mainenorthwoodshunter3265]

Sorry to hear of your grandfather! I hope the video helped you! May it bring you years of great hunting. God bless and good hunting!

[@Stale_Kracker]

@@mainenorthwoodshunter3265 thank you. Im sure it will. Thanks for the video it did help a ton

[@garystevens7369]

Wow that looks great. I had a 336 in the 70’s and wish I kept it.

[@mainenorthwoodshunter3265]

Thank you. I need a couple of different deer rifles to suit the different places I hunt. I bought this 336 in pretty rough shape for a decent price. Now she is looking great. Thank you so much for watching.

WOW! Nice job! That gun came out beautiful. Love the duracoat color.

[@mainenorthwoodshunter3265]

Thank you.

[@rodbengtson5058]

nice job on the refinishing

[@gregundahood202]

My favorite rifle! Great work

[@markguiou3930]

Beautiful job on the rifle!

[@mainenorthwoodshunter3265]

Thank you.

[@bobbymarino7082]

That rifle turned out beautiful very great video I want to do the same to my Marin I was just curious you didn’t have to sand the blueing or anything like that? Just clean it and spray?

[@mainenorthwoodshunter3265]

I did sand it with fine steel wool. Then the product I purchased also came with a degreaser cleaner that I used, then I sprayed it in multiple light coats and the last a heavier coat for the finished result. Thank you for watching!

Been thinking about doing the same thing to a family pass down 336 and slapping a recoil pad on it for the girls.

[@hooks_and_horns]

Just picked up a .444 and the barrel on it looks like a 98 year old sewer pipe. The finish is jacked up and the wood is scratched, but worst of all, the bullseye is missing! Be a fun project Gun for sure 😂

[@mainenorthwoodshunter3265]

Sounds like a great winter project. Good Luck! My brother just dropped off an old Stevens 16 gauge single shot he asked me to re-finish, so I have a small project as well. Thank you for watching!

[@Noobee65]

Very nice. I have an old jm that’s beat up I’d like to rework. You’ve inspired me

[@criscross6591]

👍👍

[@mainenorthwoodshunter3265]

Thanks for watching!

[@lancelopez830]

Great job looks amazing… did you sand the original finish down first and if so what grit ?

[@alfredbisson9997]

picked up a 30-30 336 RC JM but gonna leave it as is,1948 1st
t model year , good condition

[@mainenorthwoodshunter3265]

Sounds like a keeper to me. I hope you have some luck with her. If only she could speak the stories she could tell. Thank you so much for watching. God bless and good hunting to you!

[@TrashCanKidZ2024]

Did you have any problems with not removing the spring and trigger assembly and paining it? Have an ole 1983 336 I’m fixing to re paint and just wondering how far i need to safely break it down for paint. Thanks

[@mainenorthwoodshunter3265]

I left the trigger assembly alone. All of that looked fine so I cleaned it real well and oiled it up when I put it back together

[@propofolau]

Enjoyed your video, and its was excellent - but pls speak up or use a closer mic to record your voice..

[@mainenorthwoodshunter3265]

Thanks for watching and thank you for your input.

[@daltoncrummett6191]

That looks awesome !! What did you end up using on the wood to seal it up ?

[@mainenorthwoodshunter3265]

Hey Dalton, I put multiple coats of that finish wax I showed in the video. I hope you and your family are all doing well.

[@jonburman7570]

Looks great, what duracoat did you use?

[@mainenorthwoodshunter3265]

I used the tactical black color. Aerosol spray can

[@billywhite4290]

How does it look now and how many rounds have you shot since then through her

[@mainenorthwoodshunter3265]

I recently made a new video of a year later after hunting with it. The only place the finish has come off is the loading gate. Nothing seems to work there because you are loading a rimmed cartridge. I would definitely use it again.

[@guaporeturns9472]

How’s it holding up?

[@mainenorthwoodshunter3265]

It has done very well. I did do another video of the 1 year review this past year. I would certainly use the stuff again. Thank you so much for watching!
