Going through some of my collection I inherited from my grandfather, I found a Marlin lever action in .35 s&w. I can't seem to source anywhere that sells .35 s&w, so would .35 rem work or no?

 

I was dumb and didnt snag a pic of the serial/model number but I can find out tomorrow.

 

I'd also like to add that this rifle is probably from the 50's

If your Marlin is a Mod. 336, it's probably chambered in .35 Remington. The .35 S&W is an auto-pistol cartridge and hasn't been around for decades, and to my recollection was not chambered in anything but the S&W M1913.

I am almost positive it said .35 s&w but I will double check

If It is a Marlin 336 post up a ser # and we should be able to tell, plus when you look at it again it should be stamped what caliber it is.

 

I think the 336 was in the following calibers: and I just found this I was only going to post the few that are on my manual but wow there were quite a few.

 

30-30 is what I have, also no longer offered .219, 32 special, 44 Mag // Model 1895 45-70, 444 Marlin, 450 Marlin // Model 1894 38 Special, 257 Mag, 44 Special & Mag, 45 Colt // Also current production is showing 30-30 Win, 35 Rem, 308 Mar express, and 338 Marlin express.

 

Wow I learned a few things myself.

 

By the way a pic would be cool, I have a few Marlin Lever action rifles and alwasy have been partial to them being thats what I did grow up shooting.

Took a closer look at it. It is .35 rem, but the way its scratched it looked like the s&w under a quick glance, if that makes sense. I will post some pics later tonight when I get a chance.

Cool let see the pic's. Like I said I have a few myself, a Golden 39A (1983) and a 336 (I think 2008) and the same exact set in AZ but they are from the 50's.
