  • Field stripping and cleaning the classic Marlin 336. A demonstration of how I take off the lever, remove the bolt and ejector, and clean the rifle. Again, you might do it differently, but this is what I have done for many years. Works for me.

      Ballistol puts me in mind of dirty sweat socks and black licorice, but I find it inoffensive. The odor dissipates quickly and the stuff works great. I shoot BP and smokeless and it is one of the few chemicals that works with both, and the claim that it "seasons" the metal so each successive cleaning is easier has proven true in my experience.

    Mr. Hickok, thank you, superlative work. I'm a novice 336 owner in 30-30 and want to share my learning experience. I began having misfires after about 150 rounds through my new rifle. After wasted back and forth with the dealer and an alleged gunsmith, to no avail, a local friend was my real help. He knew that the firing pin had seized inside the bolt, and used simple brake cleaner to free it. Outside the rifle of course. Then some oil and off I went. No more problem.

    Very helpful and informative video, thanks! I just inherited my grandfather's 1954 336 Texan in .35 Remington and it is identical to the one shown here. My grandfather was a military man and always maintained his firearms, so it cycles well and the bore is bright & shiny but I'll be giving it a good once-over all the same. The more I handle it, the more I can't wait to put some rounds downrange with it!

    I inherited my Dad's 336C, in .35 Remington, and haven't fired it, because I didn't know how to clean it.
    I've kept it cased, and oiled as best I could, but now am going to clean it, lube it, and eventually take it out and enjoy it.
    Thanks again!

    My grandfather had gifted me two rifles, his Winchester Model 67 shot gun in 20 GA and his Marlin 336W in 30-30. I remember first shooting the Marlin and cleaning it and it was such a joy to use. My grandfather has been gone for almost 5 years and cherish those rifles dearly.

    about 50 years ago the firing pin on my brothers marlin broke while we were hunting mule deer near Williams lake BC. My dad replaced the pin in the field with a filed down tang from a chain saw file. That pin was still working just fine when I saw the rifle again a few months ago. On another note, its too bad Winchesters could not be cleaned as easily as Marlins. Just a word of caution when using bore snake - make sure you pull it strait through the bore without rubbing the crown - otherwise you will damage it.

    • @waynevreeland3141

So Sunday I picked up a Henry .22 classic lever action so I can shoot lever action all day. Broke and wife is mad, but it was worth it.

    Hickok45 rules. Seen a ton of his vids, haven’t seen a bad one yet. Right to the point and educational.

      That's awesome! I'll be 18 in 6 months, so I'm trying to decide between a 94 or 336 marlin.

    Just to bring this to your attention Hickok45....you made a "Levergun Cleaning" video using that Marlin 336 rifle, BUT you have NEVER done a (Chapter 1, let alone a Chapter 2) video of shooting that specific Marlin 336 lever gun. Just to let you know ;-)

      If you can, find a pre-1984 one without the cross block safety. They seem to be better built.

      @jamiecowan170 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, you've got a point. And something about it isn't right. I use it sometimes, but it is the only spray that makes me cough and choke. Doesn't happen with Hoppe's or Rem oil. Can it really be that "friendly" if it makes me choke and cough?

    • @jamiecowan170
      @jamiecowan170 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also, Starrett has a lubricant that should work okay on guns, but it smells like an old tent.

      The old JM stamped Marlins were great. Freedom group bought them and they were horrible for a few years. Now it is hit & miss with the QC, I would never buy a Marlin lever action rifle over the internet, that I hadn't handled. Last week I looked at the 1895SBL 45-70 Stainless Steel and both samples had issues. Fixers? Sure, if they'd drop the price $300 bucks or so.

    Thanks so much. I won a Marlin 336 in a 4-H raffle and have never owned a real lever action, much less shot one. Now I feel much better about prepping it to fire it. It’s a 30-30 and I’ve finally gotten a good variety of rounds to try in it and to learn to shoot it. Now to get a .22 lever action so that I can afford to plink with a lever action. Last time I handled one, it was made by Mattel, I believe.

      Sorry you lost him. Hopefully, he left you a firearm or two that you can keep exercised for him. Every time you take it out to clean or shoot it, you'll be reminded of him and how he enjoyed it.

    Very nice. As always I have learned something from your videos. I do not own a lever gun, and have never seen one broken down for cleaning. I have seen bore snakes for sale all over, but never actually seen one used. I still have rods for my pistols/rifles. Much appreciation.
