I'm in the final stages of converting a 30-30 Western Auto 336 Marlin to 45 Colt. Test firing and refinishing remain. The ejector could stand to be longer so I was wondering, what shorter cartridges was the 336 chambered in from the factory? I don't think the 336 was ever chambered by Marlin in 45 Colt but it was chambered in 44 Mag. It is doubtful I'd find a new or used original 44 Mag ejector but a picture of the real deal would be nice if anyone has one. Even nicer would be if a scale was laid aside it.
I bought new Marlin parts from Brownell's to convert this rifle to a non-barrel band fore-end close to ten years ago. Dunno what's available these days through either Brownell's or Ruger or what current Ruger production parts fit older guns.
