I'd like to get a Marlin Lever in 45-70.
I'd like more than 4rd mag so the 1895 Guide gun (18.5" barrel) is out.

I like the 1895 with 22" barrel, but it still has the 4rd capacity.

The 1895 Cowboy is a 26" octagon barrel with 9rd capacity. On this particular model the tube mag extends all the way to the front and ends nearly flush with the barrel end. I feel the 26" barrel will be too long for a handy bush gun.

Question:
Can the 22" barrelled 1895 have the tube mag extended to be nearly flush with the end of the barrel (like the 1895 Cowboy) and one could have maybe a 6 or 7rd mag capacity? Or maybe extend the 18.5" Guide gun to 5rds?
Mods: I hope hot linking to manufacturers websites is ok? Thanks.
