Back when I was hung up on square bolt Marlin 1895's and 1893's there was a dealer in California I got a rather nice Marlin 1895 in 33 WIN from . He also had a circa 1896 Marlin 1895 that had been rebored most likely in the 30's from 38-56 to 50-100/110 I seriously considered that rifle for awhile but I don't think I ever could have gotten my money back when I tried to sell it . Of course already having molds for the 50-90 Sharps was also a contributing factor .
