Marlin .45-70

Can any other caliber (like the .45 Long Colt) be safely fired in a Marlin gun Guide in .45-70?
I.E. the way that .357 Magnum will shoot .38 Specials

Do the best you can with what you've got and let the rest of the world roll right on by.

    I would not say it is impossible,but it can ruin your gun or cause Physical harm.

    The 45/70 will only chamber the 45/70 round safely. Besides, a rifle 45 bullet is .458 and the 45LC is .451 or.452. Now I have given you an excuse to go buy another gun.

    Does not need to shoot anything other than 45/70. A 45/70 is a great round right out of the old west.
