My Marlin 1895 in 45-70 has an oversize bore. That plus the micro-groove rifling ruins any hope of shooting accurately. I'm trying one last experiment with some cast bullets that were left unsized at around .461" (bore is .4595").
If this experiment fails, I'm left with a rifle that isn't really worth shooting, *unless* it can be relined. I don't know if the barrel has enough meat on it to be safely bored.
Is anyone familiar with relining a Marlin?
Thank you,
Richard
