Can a Marlin 1894 in .32 H&R be relatively easily adapted to .327 Federal?
Anyone know a good 'smith to chat with about this?
Or, should I just hold my breath until Marlin does this on it's own?

As I replied to your other, identical post - You might want to consider giving Marlin a call, regarding the action's strength - given that, IIRC, the .327 Federal's operating pressure is about 2X that of the .32H&R, or about 45,000 psi, and may be unsafe in that rifle.

Considering the cost I'd be waiting. But if you want to persue this;

I would buy a lever in a 327.
BTW, Stetson - still love that 44 mag!! I'm glad I got it.
