Rebarreling

[FlyingHigh]

hey guys, quick question.

would it be possible to rebarrel a Marlin 336C from the 30/30 it comes in to a .357Mag/.38 Special? I don't really like the design of the Marlin 1894C that is in the .357Mag/.38 Special.

That would be a MAJOR job.
In addition to a new barrel, the bolt and entire feeding mechanism would have to be altered.

ok. so there's not much point eh? what about swapping over the stock and lever from the 336C? those are the parts i don't really like on the 1894C.

1894 c is a straight grip. the 336 is a pistol grip. wouldent work putting the stock from one to another. the lever is likely different aswell.

the bolts on the 2 guns are differant as well. the 336 has the round bolt. the 94c has a square bolt weather the internals are the same is another question.

i dont think many gunsmiths would take on the modification without it costing an arm and a leg to do. as one wrong move could destroy the reciever of your gun.

thanks for the info Aries. it's the straight grip i don't like. i like the pistol grip. that's why i was wondering about the mods.
