Home Forums Lever Action Central Marlin 336 Lever Actions 336, 35 rem to 356 win conversion?

May I ask when your 94AE was made? I bought mine in 86 or 87. It has the monte carlo comb and has never malfunctioned and with a scope on it will give bolt actions a run for their money. That's with factory 200g bullets.

Mine was made in the late 90's - straight stock and cross-bolt safety.

I liked it, just that the action was finicky and I didn't really trust it.

ETA - don't get me wrong - I have three 94's and love em. All are chambered in 30-30 - a pre-64, an early 70's with the weird alloy receiver and an AE model. All shoot and cycle perfectly. I also have an old original 95 Win in 30 US that I really like.

Just curious mainly. I have had my diappointments with Win. Mod94 in the past too.

Well, I was just going to purchase a replacement for the one I sold but when I saw the prices.... I started looking for Marlins (which are actualy even higher) but one thing lead to another and found the references to conversions of the 336 RC's.

I'd thought of this back last fall but never got anywhere with it at that time - didn't know if it was feasible or not...

Look for this article; ".356 Rimless," Ron Carmichael, Cast Bullets, Special Edition 1992.

Thanks - I did a search and failed to locate that article but I did find this: http://shootersforum.com/showthread.htm?t=17837&page=1
