Could this Remington 14 in .32 that Ive been asking y'all about could I bore it out and make it a .35 Remington? Just thinking out loud.

Boring out the barrel to .357 is feasible but I'm not sure the bolt will handle the larger case head of the 35 Remington case.

The .35 Remington is quite a bit different than the .32 Remington. There would be quite a few internal mods you would need in a addition to the rebore.

I'm pretty sure that it was made in 35 Remington also along with 25 and 30 Remington.

It was but the 35 case is substantially larger than the 25, 30 & 32 family. The 35 is in a class of it's own. All components in the receiver are different dimensions. There were more Model 14, 141 rifles built in 35 than any of the others. Find a 35 and buy it.

I have a .32 Rem 14, and a Rem Model 8 in .32 Rem as well. I love them both, and use .30 Rem brass. I file a couple of wee notches in the head, to not confuse these with 30 Rem cases, which I load/shoot as well. Just use (RCBS) .32 Rem dies, nothing fancy. From Accurate, I ordered a 4-cavity (in iron) .32-185L 4-cavity mould, which is a thing of beauty! .35Rem is really hard to find cases for around here, and as a New Yorker I may not receive any loaded ammo other than face-to-face -- with this phenomena initiating my pulling the .32 Rems from the back of the safe... If it were mine, I'd keep the 14 you have as it is -- unless, of course, the barrel resembles a sewer pipe ;) and it wouldn't be a shooter. At most gun shows around here, Marlin 336's in .35 Rem regularly do appear -- most I've seen in the $450 - $550 asking price range. Hey - I'd even be interested in another .32Rem if it came up. FUN gun to shoot!
