Mr. Ayoob’s article
I just finished reading Mr. Ayoob’s article on the Marlin 336 lever action .30 .30. I found it very informative and well written.
I was looking for info on a rifle I inherited from my father. It is a Marlin 336, but the letters after 336 are R.C. Is this another variation of the models he spoke of or just a mistake in the stamp?
I was looking for information on how to break it down for cleaning and lubricating and Mr. Ayoob’s description makes it sound easy.
Thanks

Congratulations on a classic rifle.
As I understand it, the RC suffix designates the Regular Carbine model, as distinct from, say, the SC or Sporting Carbine model. (My SC came with a 2/3 length magazine tube, for example,and the SCs often had gold triggers.
The factory should be able to provide takedown instructions, or you can try http://www.shootersforum.com/showthread.htm?t+2168.
