Marlin lever 410 to ??

Post by Rockrat »

I have one of the recent 410 lever shotguns. Just wondering if it is pretty well an 1895 with a shotgun barrel and can I pull the barrel off and turn it back into a 45-70 or another 45-70 based cartridge?

probably so. But I think you would be better on to buy a rifle and keep or sell the shotgun. They don’t make them anymore so the 410 will probably increase in value

I would think the .410 would easily bit you a 45-70.1895.

Yep; a 410 levergun isn't one you can liquidate quickly for a bunch of money, however if you are patient, I think you'd find a buyer who wanted it enough to pay a decent price.

The overall cartridge size and ejection port might be closer to a 444 Marlin versus a 45-70, as well....

would be fun to have a takedown model and have the shotgun barrel and a rifle barrel.

That's what suggested to henry when they were asking what new guns should they make a takedown version of their lever 410
