Home Forums Lever Action Central Marlin 336 Lever Actions Shortening Magazine Tube

What is necessary to shorten a 336 RC magazine tube other than cutting the tube and the spring and reinstalling the end cap? I am thinking of a tube length the same as the forend. Will the forend bbl band and wood provide sufficient support for the tube?

I would think a magazine tube that is only as long as the forend wouldn’t need additional support, but if so, a dovetailed hangar into the barrel would be best.

I have done a project similar to this before on a win 94
Posted up on here ( gen forum)how I done it with pics back in spring summer 2017 or 2018 time frame IIRC....
I do alot of resto gun projects and sell alot of em also.
Those pics should be in photo gallery still also.
I delete pics in my phone regularly.

PM me your ph#
If ya want me to tell ya

Kinda hard to write up versus talking how I did it.

Not a hard project.

Im planning on doing another post 64 top eject in .32WS in the future.

My gun projects always come out looking and working like dogchyt
And I also have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale




^^^^^^^
Prior to this I put up a huge clear as mud explanation of how I did it
But I'm also tired of getting check fired by users at times on here of how I do my own work within my tools and ability level.

If ya wanna send me your number I will talk with ya and it might help you or not.

If not no big deal either way.

Sincerely
