RE: Marlin 336 Questions
Hey Z,I've had a M336 for years and when I carry it, I use the half-cock position. Like you, I was a little uncomfortable with that at first, but I haven't found any way, ever, to make it discharge from that position. I don't know anything about trigger adjustments on a 336, though I suspect a good gunsmith could answer the question. Mine isn't as smooth as my bolt guns either, but I live with it just because I've shot it for so long that I'm used to it.
