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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

It really is the greatest thing ever. After Hickok's Glock cleaning video came out, I started using Ballistol on ALL my guns; rifels, semi-autos, revolvers...my buddy even used it on a gold Deagle...it works for EVERYTHING...absolutely awesome! It has since replaced about 6 different cleaning products I had.

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.

I have a Hawes Firearms Western Marshall .357 Magnum and I always need to tighten its screws after I have been at the range. I had always been distressed about that but it is the first gun I ever bought and I do not want to part with it. It is a somewhat old firearm so that's just what it is going to do, nothing to be upset about.

Great vid AGAIN Hickok! I ended up buying a Marlin a few months ago largely because of one of your shooting videos. To my mind, they're the best lever gun made. Not necessarily because of quality (I'd still love to get a Henry and and older Winchester) although they are a great quality gun. It's because they're SO EASY to take apart and clean. GREAT for the first time lever gun buyer in my opinion. Winchester and Henry both have a few more road blocks. Anyway, nice vid, sweet gun. I LOVE mine.
