Marlin 336 Takedown screw - great

Great workmanship, clean knurling, good fit. Speeds up take down for thorough cleaning from breech. Great for Cowboy Action shooters.

Quick takedown screw

The screw fit my Marlin 336 just fine. Nice to have to do a quick cleaning.

Handy Marlin accessory

Fitted to a 336 444Marlin to replace the standard lever pivot screw. Much more convenient to remove lever and bolt for cleaning from breech end or rifle maintenance. Low profile dosen't snag or come loose. I have another on a Marlin 336 30-30 and it works just as well. An excellent and cheap up-grade.

marlin takedown screw

Product seems to be well made but for my 2009 Marlin 336 in 35 rem it's too big. Not about to froce it and strip my action.So into the parts box it goes.

Ok but room for improvement

Purchased for Smith 1854. It fit fine. Easy to screw out by hand. However after it screwed in it sticks out enough to be noticeable and could snag on something.

Wrong threading

Wrong threading for my (pre Ruger) Marlin 336 with no alternative. Told by CS agent that it would cost me $8 to return a $12 item.

cool idea, but......!

I had a bad experience with this screw. I should have taken heed to previous reviews. It WILL NOT fit. The outer thread diameter is too wide. I will not resort to forcing this thing into my prized reciever with channel locks or vice grips. Still waiting patiently for that refund. Sorry, but you asked for my feedback.

Wrong size thread for Marlin 336

Wrong size thread This screw may not fit your 336. It didn't fit mine when it arrived at my place two days ago. It is the wrong size thread, and is an issue that these screws from Brownells have had for more than a few years now. If you force the screw you can damage the threads in your rifle. Search the product name online and you'll see it's a recognised problem, and better screws can be had elsewhere.
