Widder, SASS #59054 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Hey MG. For me, I have a friend who would do it but he don't advertise and only does this type work for some friends locally. BUT..... I also wouldn't hesitate to call Snake Oil George. He's as good as there is. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I just picked a local gunsmith, who'd been in business a reasonable amount of time that wasn't older than me... Reasonable length of time... 25+ years. Look at his BBB rating... and whether he'd been sued recently. Don't be afraid to ask for references... although he'll probably only tell you about his "good" customers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I once talked to a gunsmith about doing some barrel work on 1894. More he talked and discussed the project, the price got way past what I was willing to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largo casey #19191 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 How about calling Ruger. When Remington had Marlin I sent one in for a 44 barrel. Largo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy Kid, SASS #4638 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 You might ask the manufacturer of the blank for a recommendation. Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 It is my understanding that rebarreling a Marlin is a lot more difficult than other lever guns. There is a lot more to it than just aligning the sights, reaming the chamber and cutting the extractor notch, Next time I get to talk to my machinist/gunsmith buddy I'll get the details. I know because I asked him about rebarreling one of mine and he declined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Relineing is a lot more possible if it's a cowboy hex barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The liners won't support the rim thickness for .256. Win. I did find a quality octagon barrel, blank at $350. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's looking for someone to take a blank and machine it to shape, the way I understand it. One barrel to another finished barrel would be easy enough. Just hold my beer.

Ace Hanlon Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I had Boomstick Arms cut a new 32-40 chamber in an octagon bull barrel on a modified Ruger #1. I was happy with his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinch Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Wyoming Armory can probably steer ya the right direction if they don't do it themselves. Garbe has always been good for a ton of info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
