win 94 converted to 458x2"

[brybenn]

I hear it can be done. What all is involved in the conversion?
I'm sure it's easier to build a bolt action but a lever would be nice

The easier and cheaper route would be a Marlin 1985M in 450 Marlin, basically the same round with a wider belt. Of course a 458 X2" American bolt action could take heavier loads than any lever gun. I would give http://www.rustywood.ca/ a try for the conversion, they do lots of lever gun work.

They recommend using the big bore model.........Harold
