That dinky little locking block used in ALL Marlin leverguns just does NOT inspire confidence. And THAT's the part that always goes first. Followed quickly (or coincidentally) by the locking notch in the bolt.

You can't fool Mother Nature -- or Physics & Geometry.

Pushing the envelope to the upper limits of the safety margin is monumentally stupid.

Yep. I can't say eating an 1895 bolt via an overload locking failure is high on my list of "want to do" things.
