Can the carrier on a 336 be modified to allow a longer cartridge o.a.l. ? Can the end of the carrier rocker be ground back to allow this? Wild West Guns will modify a 336 to allow a cartridge o.a.l. of 2.76" ( I believe this is correct) for $300 which seems kinda steep. Anyone seen any info on this modification?

Thanks, D. Bragg

I'm sure the carrier could be modified but it would take more than that to get an OAL of 2.7+ to eject. In my Marlin 375 I load an OAL of 2.58". Any longer will not eject. Regards, Woody
