My buddy just got a marlin 35 lever action from a trade and it seems pretty old. I was wondering if he should shoot or just put it up somewhere

shoot it. It does not have much if any collector value

It should be fine, but if in doubt, have a gunsmith check it out first.

Might want to check the model and serial number to see if its valueble if in great shap or just a real nice shooter. heres a site to help get your buddy started. The 35rem cartidge would be 1950 or 51 and later.

Shoots 35 caliber

It is a marlin 336 in 35 Remington.

that's what i was thinking, just making sure. i don't think it's any type of collectors item yet, but would make a fine shorter range deer rifle. have a gunsmith check it out and go out and enjoy shooting it.

Its a marlin 35 and shoots a 35 caliber

There is no such thing as a model 35 Marlin. It is a Model 336c in .35 Remington caliber.

My bad that's just what his dad told me

That's my primary deer rifle if I'm walking. Mines a 1964. Worth as much as a newer used one. Got it 4 years ago for $200 with 2 boxes of ammo.
