Recently I was browsing in a local retailer and noticed they had a Marlin 336 in .35 Rem incorrectly tagged as a .350 Remington. When I saw it behind the counter I tried really hard to keep my cool (the price was quite low) and asked to examine it. Naturally it was correctly marked on the barrel as a .35 Rem, but it did make me wonder.
I've looked around on the web and I've found nothing out there so I'm asking here: Would it be possible to re-chamber a Marlin 336 from .35 Rem to .350 Rem magnum? I know it would take more than a chamber reaming, but just from the standpoint of possibility, could it be done safely? I would think so because the 1895 is the same action and they went from 45-70 to the .450 marlin without much issue.
I await your collective wisdom.
