How many bullets does a Marlin model 336 .35 caliber lever action rifle hold?

Question

I was talking to a friend the other day who says he just bought one(it was made in 1976) and he says that it holds 7 bullets....I always thought that lever action rifles held 5 bullets...do they really hold 7?

Answer 1

Totally depends on which model 336 you're talking about. There are models with ful-length magazine tubes and models with 2/3-length tubes. Which one is it??

Answer 2

it holds 6 in the tube "magazine" and one in the chamber for a total of 7 rounds.

Answer 3

I have a simular model and it hold 5 + 1 in the barrel.

Answer 4

Yes the mag capacity is 6+1

Answer 5

I used to own one and if memory services right it was six and one for a total of seven cartridges.  Wish I could find another one.  It is a nice gun!  The only thing I ever killed with it was a rabid coyote.  I still have nearly a full box of twenty .35 Remington cartridges!
