I have a 336C, purchased before they were installing the hammer block safety.
I have wondered whether it is possible to retrofit the older Marlins for the safety, or whether you feel it is necessary.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks
I don't know if it is possible , but PLEASE DON'T
If you are uncomfortable with the rifle and want the c/b safety , then sell the rifle to someone that is and buy one made after 1984.
Aint neccessary if you stick to the Ten Gun Safety Rules...
Its also got a Half-cock safety...read up on how to use that properly, and practice with an UNLOADED gun pointed in a safe direction!
Once you get used to it, you'll wonder why you ever wanted a triggerblock one
I am with the rest of the gang! Don't do It! There is only one safety that will always work and that is the one between your ears! Half cock as has been said is a safety. Except on me and I go off half cocked all the time I have had my 336C for 38 years and it has never gone off accidentally!
I got to thinking about your question and I remember getting something from Marlin about them changing it to a safety type. Of course I did not as I think it is ridicules. But I just recalled it so I thought I would add to the conversation. or not
Axxx55 and four4D4, I have decided to keep it. Still fun to shoot. I don't hunt with it, just a range gun or SHTF gun.
