I'm surprised there's not a huge outcry because you didn't chamber in in Manbun!!

Ever think about .357 Remington Maximum to address all the straight wall rifle in shotgun zones? Would it also chamber standard .357 Mag? If yes, I bet it would be interesting!

6.5-30 watersIf not a 25 caliber, at least it's a 7mm.

What Marlin is required to do a 50 Alaskan?

It could be done on a 336, it would require a 35rem bolt. It would chamber the 357 mag, getting the timing right might take some effort.
Loaded with some round noses, could be pretty good!6.5-30 waters
It's been done on the Marlin 1895 a lot. Requires 45-70 bolt. Winchester '86 and '71 may be the better choice. I'd probably shed a tear doing that to a '71...

The chamber is cut and polished, and the extractor groove is cut in.
It's amazing how rough the Marlin barrel is in this section. All the threads, extractor groove, and chamber face were ground in instead of cut.

This is awesome! Just redoing the stock was fun! Looking forward to how this turns out.

Unfortunately no, the chamber pressure is way too high in 308.
Savage 99, Winchester 88, Browning BLR, Henry Long Ranger are all chambered in .308win.
Check ammoseek for 30-30. There's a bunch listed.

I honestly have no idea what's being done in this thread, I just like the pictures.

The lever was pretty rough, it locked in place but just barely. The factory grinds left a lot to be desired. Cleaned up the grinds and reshaped the lever so it has a nice positive lockup.

Do you have a preference when it comes to rebluing,, or do you lean towards Cerakote?

I don't really have a personal preference, Cerakoting is the easier/ faster route. Really it depends on the gun and what the customer wants out of it.
Some of the black/ super dark blues you can spray look really nice. Just don't try to pass them off as the real deal.

The scope holes were drilled crooked. They were welded up and re-drilled on center. When I was messing around with the receiver I found the top wasn't square with the sides. This was going to cause issues with later operations so it got decked. I'll laser the waffle top back into it later.
