You can reline the first 2/3rds of the barrel, but the last 1/3rd that is turned down for the rotating sleeve is waaaaay too thin. And a barrel is hugely expensive-if you could find one.

During the military trials in the 1870s or so, the Marlin 1881 repeatedly had magazine explosions, which led to their removal from the trials. Using RN bullets.

I have the Traditions version-same gun, just a rounded birdshead grip. Already had a Pietta 45 cal. conversion cylinder, so in it went. Neat little gun, and fairly accurate. I did have to shorten 45 Colt brass a little, so now I have some genuine 45 Short Colt ammo. Says so right on the box I made.

Mine slugged at .3785- use .380 bullets and got great accuracy.
