Soes anyone know what work needs to be done to convert a 336 in .30-30 head size to a .410? Or if you need to start with an 1895 action instead of a 336?
I know it would need a new barrel, of course. But what other parts need to be changed out or modified? I have a sound 1950s 336SC with a truly trashed .32 WS barrel (a recovered stolen gun that was stored under a porch with the barrel ahead of the half magazine in contact with the wet dirt. From the magazine end back it's a nice gun. In front of that it's a mass of pits and active rust).
Does anyone do this conversion? I'd like to try to get it close to the original Marlin .410 repeater of the 1930s.
