I guess I could be wrong too, but I have a friend who works for Marlin and according to him, they don't make spacific guns for any retailer. I think the AW is for the economy model of the 336 in 30-30 with birch stock with forend cap. The 336 W is the economy model with barrel ring intead of forend cap.I know some people think the 1895G was made for Gander Mtn., but it stand for guide gun. Butin any case,Marlin makes a fine rifle no matter who sells it. I own a ton of them and practically use levers exclusivley to hunt from bear to yotes.
Have a good day.
