Note the ejection port on the side of the 336. It’s on the side, as opposed to being on the top like the Winchester.

I've seen 94AE's listed for sale before. Had no idea that's what it meant. Are they drilled and tapped on top for an optic mount?Winchester saw that as downfall of the Model 94 and in the 1980's they addressed that with a change in the reciever. the 94AE, or "Angle Eject"

Yes they are. Mine has four small drilled and tapped holes in the top of the receiver.I've seen 94AE's listed for sale before. Had no idea that's what it meant. Are they drilled and tapped on top for an optic mount?
They aren't cheap, but I'd say if you can find one for MSRP go ahead and get it. They are pretty nice as far as I can tell. Just need to get it out to the range and compare it to my old guide gun.Would love to have one of the new Ruger Marlin 1985 45-70's. Not willing to pay the price, though.
Unless you reload, you tell me how available and affordable a hunting round is in any of your .32 cal offerings Also, I hunt in West Texas where my last kill was at 368 yards. I much prefer the “ Affordable “ .243 or .308 offered in the Henry. In short, yes still ignorant for a deer rifle.Still to ignorant?
So, what’s your excuse?This is why you don’t do drugs.
I don’t give two shits what you have to say. You’re a jackass giving a good member a hard time over something that only makes sense in that deranged brain of yours.So, what’s your excuse?

All of that is nice but has nothing to do with the product or its weaknesses.I would prefer a Henry even if the Winchester held its value better and maybe was a bit better made. Henry's are made well enough for me (and maybe better than current Winchesters) and are made in America. They are manufactured by a fairly small American Company that, to my knowledge, has not beencorruptednegatively affected (or maybe corrupted was the correct word to use) by being taken over by a large corporation (at least not yet and hopefully will never be taken over by one). As far as I know, Founder and CEO Anthony Imperato still is the top man in Henry Repeating Arms.
Henry does good for medical needs for some children and has raffled off high end rifles for donations for their treatment. Recently Mr. Imperato donated $40,000 plus for a young girls cancer treatments (source). Henry also recently donated 55 special edition rifles for another young girl's kidney cancer treatments (source). These are among the many other such donations Henry has made to help children. Henry also does a lot to support the 2nd and has also honored veterans with gifts of rifles (source) and monetary donations by way of special edition rifle sales (source).
I loved the fact Henry used to make guns in Brooklyn, NY right within the Heart of Darkness for firearms ownership (and probably paid zero to NY State in taxes because of an offer from that state not to charge businesses taxes for I think 5 years if they moved into or opened shop in NY). After Brooklyn, they moved to Bayonne, NJ and after that to the midwest somewhere as best I recall. Anthony's dad used to be the
Great company, excellent firearms - I currently own two Henry rifles. I have been trying to find the Golden Boy Trucker’s Tribute Edition at a dealer local to my son, so I can purchase it as a gift for him and maybe I'll also get another for myself. Of course, I'll have to come up with around 1K to get him that Trucker's tribute model (one expensive 22 LR rifle) and would have to sell a few others to balance my accounts but I likely will have no problem doing that for him.
Agree 100%. Now that they offer side loading gates, they are on my radar. Yes, they are not the original Henry, but they have put a lot of effort behind their brand. I don‘t hunt and I have no kids, so I care not if it lasts for 50 or 100 years. I just want something that’s pretty and feels good in the hand that will last 30 years of casual shooting.I would prefer a Henry even if the Winchester held its value better and maybe was a bit better made.

If you have an actual Marlin 336 made in 1903, it must be a very rare duck indeed and probably would be worth a fortune. I think though it is more likely you either have misstated the model or year of production for your Marlin.The Marlin 336's predecessor was the Marlin 36 (aka: Marlin 1936), the first variation of it only came out in 1937. The 1936 was manufactured through about 1947/48. The 336 came out in 1948. They were manufactured through 1962, then again introduced around 1973.I have a Marlin 336 J M stamped in 30-30. Made in 1903. After shooting this one, I wouldn't even think about any other brand.
