Marlin’s new Model 336 is everything you’d want a .30-30 lever action to be but includes all the refinements of the 21st century. The 336 has a smooth action, beautiful stock, and modern fittings.
The steel receiver is blued and tapped for scope rings. The 20″ blued barrel includes a leaf rear sight and hooded front sight. The lever and trigger guard are more refined than other lever guns with a chamfered edge all the way around.
Although it has a tube magazine under the barrel, you can only load the gun using the side gate on the receiver. Of course, it includes Marlin’s gold trigger.
The stock is all made from American walnut with classic checkering in a modern design that genuinely improves grip. It’s just a little more modern overall.
For instance, the barrel band is recessed in the forend for a tight fit, and it includes a sling stud. It’s also got a logo’d butt cap under the pistol grip and a durable butt pad.
Marlin’s new Model 336 will be available in the Spring of 2023 and is expected to be under $1,000.

It features a locked breech barrel system and CZ-style takedown, making it easy to disassemble and clean. The match-grade barrel can be easily removed thanks to the bushing-less barrel system, similar to that of a P-10 or P-09/P-07.
The DWX also boasts a high capacity of 19+1 rounds with flush bases in 9mm, and is customizable with standard 1911 parts, allowing gunsmiths and competitive shooters to adjust it to their preference.
The sights are also easily customized, with a 1911-style dovetailed front sight and a CZ Shadow 2-style rear sight cut.
The CZ Dan Wesson DWX is a firearm that features a fiber optic sight for quick target acquisition in bright lighting, an adjustable rear sight for improved accuracy at the range, and a CZ-75 profile frame for enhanced grip and ergonomics.
Additionally, it has front serrations for press-checks, a serrated rib to reduce glare, a square hammer for a tactical look, a flat K-style trigger, an ambidextrous safety and grip safety, a 1913 Picatinny rail for easy accessory attachment, and 25 LPI checkering on the flat mainspring housing for a secure grip.
It is also compatible with CZ P-10F/P-09 double-stack magazines. Additionally, the mag release is swappable, offering further user configuration.

The grip angle and contours of the DWX are borrowed from the CZ 75, which is widely recognized as one of the most comfortable and ergonomic pistols on the market.
This makes the DWX a great option for those who have trouble finding a comfortable fit with other pistols. Additionally, the DWX can use standard grips from a CZ 75 and even has corresponding magwells for the TS/Czechmate series, making it even more versatile.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — An Illinois appellate court on Tuesday upheld a temporary restraining order on enforcement of the state’s three-week-old law banning semiautomatic weapons, enacted largely in response to the mass shooting at an Independence Day parade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park.
A three-judge panel for the 5th District Appellate Court affirmed the restraining order issued Jan. 20 by a circuit judge in Effingham County.
Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul, a Democrat, plans to appeal the ruling to the state Supreme Court.
The Protect Illinois Communities Act prohibits the manufacture or possession of semiautomatic handguns and rifles. Those who owned them before the Jan. 10 effective date of the law must register them with the Illinois State Police by Jan. 1, 2024.
Hundreds of gun owners, merchants and advocates filed suit in Effingham, about 101 miles (160 kilometers) northeast of St. Louis, seeking the restraining order. They argued that the Legislature improperly enacted the law and that by exempting some classes of people — law enforcement, corrections officers, retired police officials — denied potentially millions of other gun owners equal protection under the law.
Plaintiffs’ attorney Thomas DeVore, a Republican who ran unsuccessfully last fall for state attorney general, said the equal protection argument under the Constitution’s 14th Amendment was persuasive in upholding the restraining order.
The law became a priority for Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Democrats who control the General Assembly after the Highland Park shooting, which left seven dead and injured 30.
Illinois is the eighth state, along with Washington, D.C., to restrict such guns.
The attorney general’s office said it would seek an expedited schedule of proceedings from the state’s high court.
“The Protect Illinois Communities Act is an important tool in what must be a comprehensive approach to addressing gun violence throughout Illinois, and we remain committed to defending the statute’s constitutionality,” spokesperson Annie Thompson said in a statement.
DeVore said the restraining order applies only to the plaintiffs, which include gun dealers that may continue selling the weapons, and that it must be followed by all circuit courts in the state, even outside the 5th District, unless an appellate court elsewhere holds differently.
