I'm far from an expert, but I have had two and still have one 336 in .35 cal, the one I still have is a 1957 year 336 and it's identical to the 1978 year 336 that I no longer have , they are halfcock saftey with solid woodstocks ,gold triggers and the Marlin "Bullseye" in stock their both excellent firearms that said at some point in time after 1978 they changed for the worse, the half cock saftey went to a tru ttthe reciever push button Yuk, the stocks were less desireable with a loss of grain and the Marlin "Bullseye, and that nice gold trigger was also lost , that said my old guns were and are top shelf but the newer marlins right from the first view you will see the differance its dissappointing but they may very well perform just fine . they just don't look as good as they once did.
