And I’m really excited! It was manufactured in 75’ and the blueing is spotless. I shot it a few times and the iron sights were on, well good enough to blow up a huge ant pile at about 70 yards. Handles great and feels nicely balanced, better than my other 336 in .35rem. Also happy it doesn’t have the cross bolt safety. I’ll probably put some kind of small scope on it before I give it to my father, his eyes aren’t as good as they used to be. May have to borrow it during deer season though, I’d like to see what 265gr Hornady lever evolution does to a deer. Man I can’t wait to see my dads face when he opens this bday present!

Man, for $500 that is a steal for that rifle. Congrats and I know your dad is going to love it.

Hoot & Holler, Congrats !

Read that other thread if you have feeding problems.

What model number is that, is it an “S”?

Since its a banded model you will need to keep that front band screw tight or any recoil movement will snap that rear band screw.

Thanks loco, no first two numbers on the serial at 25 which led me to believe it was made in 75, is that correct to your knowledge?

25 from a hundred should be 75.

I’m pretty sure it was 1975 when they switched to forend caps and tenon so it was made to pre-75 specs...Interesting.

I think the studded front band was added later?

If it starts busting band screws don’t despair. A high strength 6/32x1 1/2” with nylon nut will put an end to it. An 8/32 will require wallowing out the band holes a tiny bit. Some folk never have a problem whatsoever but I stress mine a lot. Does that one have a little metal flipper on the cartridge carrier to raise the back end of the cartridge? They did that for only a few years.

the front band was replaced, not added, according to the original owner. I’ll check tomorrow for your last question. Thanks for all your info

I guess thats (added) what I meant. You’d probably have noticed the flipper already if it had one, they look out of place.
