Marlin 336 Barrel Band with Sling Stud (blued) - Anybody Got?

Bigslug

Trying to locate one of these, and they seem to be unobtainium in the post-Remington, pre-Ruger world. 

My Dad's left wrist can no longer counter the leverage his right hand puts on a bolt action - short version; a lever action is what he can still cycle quickly.  We're working up a .30-30 load with the boat-tailed, squishy-nosed Monoflex bullet and Leverevolution powder to extend his point-and-click distance, but this sucker is going to need a sling, and the magazine tube clamps aren't working with the current program.

If you've seen this child, please contact the authorities

Or D&T the current band and screw a stud into it. They come in 10-24 and 10-32 thread.

Amazon has them from uncle mikes

It appears that most of the old marlin parts are vapor! With all the tacticool crowd putting M lock for ends on their marlins you would think a few would be in the parts bins….

I’ve owned guns with those and they work just fine.

Again, magazine clamp bands are a non-starter.  Don't know if it was because he had one shift, or it it won't play with his accurizing program, but I think my father's loathing for them is roughly on par with my feelings on DA/SA/decocker automatics.  We're not going there.

Option B might be on the table if nothing further surfaces.

Did you check Amazon?
Walmart also has them.

Even the regular barrel bands, when you can find one, is going for around $70!! 
Guess I missed the part of not wanting to use the tube clamp!!

I have one but no sling stud.  It’s off a 336 that I refinished a few years back

Scored!

There's much to be said for asking gunsmiths to root through their take-off parts.
