I've been reading about some wildcat rounds that refer to using late model marlins with strong receivers.

Did Marlin change there forging process for their receivers to make them stronger?

And if so about when did this happen? Because I have Glenfield as a project gun . Thanks

I think they rated for around 52000 CUP.

A better 25 caliber in a marlin something close to the 250 savage. There is no small caliber leverguns available right now.

If I hear shooting I try to figure what's the reason for the nieghbors party and why wasn't I invited.

Your in our prayers.

Very intersting info. It's always interesting how things aren't as straight forward once you start these projects.

I checked with Numrich today on their 38-55 octagon barrel that is threaded and reamed for a 94 win. Since no bore diameter was listed I asked and the gal said .369 bore. I also checked on the 38-55 barrel on sale at Buffalo arms and no bore diameter is listed. Now I want to shoot both cast and jack...

Just had this conversation with my neighbor . He wants a 257 robert s bolt but wasn't impressed with the rugers matte finish instead of a nice blue. I told him to get a mauser and have it rebarreled to 257 roberts and put a manlicher stock on it with a 21 inch barrel and you would have a nice woods ...

Good to see your back . I figured you were just growing the herd.
