I intend to buy another 44 mag lever action as one of my next rifles and was wondering how feasible it would be to shorten the 20 inch barrel and mag tube on a the 44 mag 1894 to around 16 inches? Obviously shortening the barrel wouldn't pose an issue but what about the mag tube etc. I love the pictures of Steelhead's .357 but the full length 1894 doesn't do much for me.
I have previously owned a Rossi 92 which I really liked but could be interested in seeing what the Marlin is all about...
