I have a Marlin 336 RC in 30/30 .I found out it was made in 1966. The stock has cracked pretty bad and as I look for a Pistol grip walnut checkered replacement I dont know if it has crossbolt safety? Can someone give me some advice. I'm looking on e-bay and some of the sets (stock & forend) go for about $275 is that about right? The forend uses a barrel band.

that price seems way inflated. check out Brownell's and MidwayUSA as both of them have stocks way cheaper. Brownell's has the the buttstock and forearm for less than $80 for the set and factory Marlin buttstock for $79.73 and the forearm for $32.85 OEM walnut and checkered, ready to install. even the Marlin OEM stuff is less than half that $275 price. Brownell's is good place to buy gun parts from and the service is great and shipping is fast.

Welcome aboard Biker! My first lever gun was a '73-made Model 94 Winchester. I remember well telling my father why I thought a Marlin 1894 in .44 Magnum would make a better deer gun than the Winnie. Woke up Christmas morning and got the Winchester. Still have the gun more out of respect for dad than satisfaction with the product.
sorry bout that! welcome to the forum! the 30-30 is very easy to reload and an excellent one to branch out with. i reload for mine. anytime i add a new caliber to the collection, i now add reloading dies!

I don't know if you got your other question answered. From the date of manufacture I would say your rifle doesn't have the cross bolt safety. If it does you would have a button in the receiver just below the hammer that can be pushed back and forth, left to right, that activates a hammer block type safety.
