Being a sucker for lever rifles, I'm always checking pawn shops for oddball guns. Came across one today, which I thought was an older Marlin 336 Texan (short barrel, straight stock). Picked it up, found out it was a Revelation 207 in .30-30 instead. I originally thought it was a 336 clone, but seems it is actually a Mossberg 472.

How closely are the 336 and 472 related? Just looking at one, they look remarkably similar, with the obvious exception being the Mossberg trigger is pinned to the lever. Do they share any internal parts? Scope mounts the same/

I'm thinking if I can get it cheap enough, may make an interesting .30-30AI conversion...
