The 500 MDM requires a 300 RUM action. So, this could be a great basis for that build.

There we go, sounds like a good opportunity for a tax write off for the future office to me!

If I had the money this would be in my collection, but Chiropractic School is hindering that right now. If the seller will take a kidney for payment, I'm sure I can find a spare one .

I have a 45-90 on the modern Marlin 1895 (same reciever as the 336), it can be done and is nothing short of impressive.

Sounds like a trip to a good Chiropractor and possibly an Acupuncturist, would help this issue quite a bit, if not solve the issue.

Take a look at Bear Creek Supply, cheap lead bullets with a coating on them that prevents leading. They have a bullet for the 470 in the making, but have a 380 gr bullets that would work great as well.

Personally I use H335 in my 45-90 and get great accuracy and precision from them. You have the luxury of using a system that can handle higher pressures, so this should help with your decision. Let me know how you like them, if you end up trying them out.

Speer Hot-Cor 350 gr, is a great bullet for your intended purpose if you can get your hands on them.

@Bob Nelson 35Whelen I saw it taken apart one time by a first timer and after he kept losing all the little parts, I decided to stick to the Marlin, by far my favorite lever-action rifle.

Just don't forget your German engineer friend and lady luck if want to take a winchester or No1 apart.

Glad I could be of assistance. The pivot pin is all that needs to be removed for the the lever to be taken out.

You should be able to push the round back into the magazine tube from the loading gate and try to load the rifle again. If this happens again, there is a good possibility that the finger lever has caused an indentation in the carrier that has to be repaired for proper function. This would also...

I definitely plan on taking one of my levers out to Africa, but until then the states will do. It's great I'm not the only one with the desire to hunt Africa with lever guns! Can't wait to see what a 50 AE with a 440 gr bullet will do to a lion out of my Marlin 1894!

It looks like a Turnbull 1886, so if the cartridge has a shoulder on it, it is possible that it could be a 475 Turnbull. If not, then any of the previously mentioned cartridges are a possibility.

Do you have a picture of it by chance?

The 550 Magnum and 550 Express, are both based off the 460 Weatherby.

The 375 will do plenty of good on plains game with well placed shots, within reasonable limits. I have a 45-90 on a Marlin 1895 that I would not be scared to use on anything, with a proper load. I also, have a 510 Kodiak Express being built that will be on par with factory 500 nitro loads out of...

Not a boot recommendation, but have you ever thought about seeing a chiropractor for an extremity adjustment? I think it would be beneficial for you to give it a try!

@TOBY458 , Michael would say go for it, it has CRF, but he would probably recommend an accurate innovations stock to compliment it.

If you are only wanting use them for thin-skinned game such a whitetail I would recommend a 35 Remington on Marlin 336. It has advantages over the 30-30, one of my favorite being a larger diameter bullet! If you wish to do more outside of that a, Marlin 1895 in 45-70 would and is my favorite...

Dehydrating the liver and making a supplement out of it, should work. The main thing is to identify the diet of the animal, whos liver you want to consume. If they are eating lots of poisonous plants and things our body can not deal with, the oxidants will remain in the liver; therefore, passing...

Crs is right, it's time to move up to the 45-90! I did just that and have 1 of 3 Marlin 1895s chambered for it and it's more than enough for anything walking.

Beautiful rifle in a solid cartridge! Congratulations!

If it's long range you're looking for Bourbon Trail suggested some great ones above. If you're looking for something that's not as hard on the wallet, but still gives you the range you're looking for, I'd look at Mr. Tubb's array of XC (Xtra Capacity) cartridges. Ranging from 6XC to 41XC, with...

No one currently makes 500 Maximum, or as some call it the 500 Linebaugh Long. However, I'm sure that RCC brass would be more than happy to get it done for you. I know they customize headstamps and will even make wildcat brass. Also, a picture of this revolver is always welcome!

The 265 gr Hornady bullet that they designed for the 444 Marlin, works great in the 44 magnum! If you can find someone to modify the action to allow to cycle 44 magnum to 1.83" oal, you will have one heck of gun, but even without the modification the 265 Hornady is nothing to scoff at in the...

Thank you for the clarification and good luck on the deal.

If there is any left over, please let me know, I would like to have some more ammo for mine!

I've grown up around lever guns all my life and the improved version of the 357 out performs most common 30-30 loads. Plus, being in Arkansas most shots are within 100-200 yards, but some sneak up on you at the 300 yard range.

Personally for deer, my favorite medium bore is a Modified 1894C Marlin. We lengthened the OAL of the 357 that could feed through the action to approximately 1.83". Then we found the 180 gr Speer Hot-Cor and worked up a load to 1900 fps. It will absolutely lay the deer out and with next to no...

Did you do the work on the Marlin yourself? It reminds me of Mic McPherson's work, with NP3 plating and Roguard, which is a beautiful combination! So I'm guessing this Marlin is chambered for a modified 50-110 with a slight taper to the case and probably slightly shortened, which Mic calls the...

A 404J you say, you have my attention.

Thank you, MBT Customs never ceases to amaze!

As promised, the end product and I think it came out splendid!

I love big bores, but that's a no even for me!

This is excellent advice and I agree with tarbe; keep the 470 and have fun!

I believe the Marlin Lever-action deserves a nod. Especially once it has been smoothed and made into something special. The second fastest on the first 2 shots, just behind the classic doubles, but second to none after that! It doesn't get much better than that.

Was that rifle a 460 Short A-Square as well? I haven't been able to find much outside of this rifle available.

This rifle is no longer on the market. It's being finished up and I'll be keeping it. I'll upload pictures once it's completed!

Sadly no, I don't have any reloading equipment or supplies with the rifle (I would love to shoot it myself). Michael Merker would be happy to verify the rifle and I'm fine using any FFL that would make both the buyer and I comfortable.

I picked up another project and need this gone to fund it. $2700 takes it and if you're near Arkansas I'd be more than happy to meet you.

This rifle, ammo, and dies were traded and I forgot to update that here. Thank you for your time and inquiries.

I don't like my shoulder that much anyways...how much?

I got this rifle in a trade from Michael Merker of MMRifleMakers. The barrel is an original A-Sqaure rifle that was owned by a General, who wanted to rebarrel his Hannibal model to 458 winchester and Michael saved the barrel. He then put the barrel on this 1917, and as far as I know the rifle...

The rifle is still available and I appreciate all the comments. It's a great gun and with a hefty charge of RL-17, it will do what you ask of it!

Just in case anyone needs any additional information on the B&M rifles and cartridges. https://m.b-mriflesandcartridges.com/

I've seen that and I have seen that Nosler has them on sale.

The rifle has one spot on the stock where the laminate is messed up. It has been shot a few times. Other than that, it's in excellent condition.

Hello all, I'm looking for some information on the Remington 700 ABG in 375 RUM. I have not been able to find much information on the number produced, or what one would now be worth. Any information would be great to have in regards to this rifle.

It's not too bad and thank you for catching that grammatical error, its a bit embarrassing. Also, I believe you could use it in all those situations! If you can't kill it with the bullet, beat it with the gun until the job is done!
