Do yourself a favor when you do: work the lever and check the fitment of the stocks. They will probably tell you all you need to know. That's coming from a guy who bought a 2011 "REP" Marlin (I didn't know any better at the time... many modifications later, it's a fine shooter- what it should have been out of the box.)
Honestly, finding a used 336/45-70 shouldn't be too difficult. Pawn shops and gun shows always have "JM" stamped Marlins for low prices.
