Fifty years ago our local hardware store owner had a rack of 1894 Marlin rifles in .33 Win, all traded in when .33 became unavailable.
A couple of years later they were all gone. He said some man came in and bought every one of them.
Seems it would not be that hard to bore these to .35 caliber for .35 remington. There is a cult following to the .35 rem that I think people would pay the premium.
I wonder what he did with them?
