Thnx for the heads up, I got half a pound of metallic red Eastwood Hot Coat, I think, cheap. Found a tray, after some mods with the grinder, that'll fit my oven, which does heat up. I'll start slow.

I'm looking to join the club here. Got an op shop oven for $24 and half a pound of powder coat paint. Could use a tray, I'll dig around a bit and see if I can come up with an appropriate size. ...

Accuracy Problems with the 44Mag in the Marlin 1894 are common. They've got a long throat to accomadate a longer COAL, this was a factory configuration. 44Spec in the initial 336 version would have...

Gents, I know Redman and John Taylor do great relining, unfortunately both are swamped with work. Redman's liners are only recommended for pistol calibers, whereas TJ liners are hammer forged...

"No picture of groups, cause they weren't groups!! Haha

I have one of these in a Miroku build TD, I would NEVER consider running BP through it. Just use 45/70 data to reload, with the longer/bigger case you won't have any problems. Starline brass and...

A 336A (24" barrel) Octagon would be ideal, but I'd settle for round. in 25-36 Marlin. And while they're at it, one in 219 Zipper. Lol, I just got a set of dies at a gunshow.

I've hand cut a couple on my 44-40 barrel swap into a Marlin 1894. I didn't want the full length magazine tube. For a filler blank, a bevel gauge and a protractor gives a good reference on any bit...
