Way stronger? Where'd ya hear that?


From Paco Kelly: http://www.leverguns.com/articles/paco/444.htm

The Marlin is a fine leveraction so I’m not comparing good verses not good. I’m rating strength to withstand pressure over a sustained life time of active shooting with each design. The Marlin is rated at tops 45,000+psi and the Winchester 94 Big Bore (that’s the fatside action, not the common action 94) is rated at 55,000+psi. And that’s a big difference.

Something about an aluminum bolt, that doesn't inspire confidence.
