Really love the Marlin 1894. I picked up a 1894 CB in 32 H&R magnum octagon barrel. What I really wanted is a 327 Fed magnum. I had the barrel reamed to 327 Fed magnum by Ranger Point Precision. Also had them add some improved sights. It will still shoot 32 and 32 H&R mag. Everything else on the gun can be taken back to out-of-the-box condition. For the record, I'm more of a shooter than a collector. Would you find the gun 'more desirable' or 'less desirable' based on the ability to chamber the 327 Fed Mag? If you answer start out by identifying yourself as either 'more of a shooter' or 'more of a collector'.
