Model 36 questions
I've recently acquired a Model 36 (with no designator letter) 20" barrel. Round bolt. And a serial that starts with the letter 'Z'. I'm trying to find out any information that might be available on this rifle. Thanks in advance

Re: Model 36 questions
P Marshall;
Since your rifle has a round breech bolt, it is a Model 336, not a Model 36. With the "Z" prefix serial number, it would have been manufactured in 1964. The 20 inch barrel indicates it is either a Model 336 RC (regular carbine) or a 336 SC (Sporting Carbine) or a 336 T or Texan. The difference being the RC has a full magazine and pistol grip stock whereas the 336 SC has a half magazine and pistol grip stock. The 336 T is a straight grip, carbine style gun with a full magazine.
I hope this helps.

Due to the increasing cost of ammunition, there will be no warning shot!

Re: Model 36 questions
It has the half magazine with the pistol grip. What made me question it was that the barrel is just stamped Model 36. Thanks for the information.
