I'm not positive, but the outside looks a lot like my Marlin 336. Mine's in one piece of course. Never seen the inside of a lever action like that before.

So this definitely is a Marlin? 'Cuz if so I know a few guys who would be interested in those pics.......

Like I said, I'm not positive it's a Marlin.

What's the story on how the hell this thing blew up?

Probably reloads if I had to guess.

It almost looks like a Browning Take Down model.

But it isn't as it is tube fed.

Marlin 336, wonder what caliber it was. I'm assuming it was reloads and something got double charged or more.

Point Noses are a no no in tubes.

Nooby question---- does this happen very often?.......

IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!!! You should quit while you still have all your fingers... j/k

It's a rare occurrence. Between me and my shooting buddies, we probably have more then a hundred year at shooting sport. Never happened to any of us... Just be careful and be safe!
