Ed Harris has a Marlin 1894 in 45 ACP, I think John Taylor did the work. Maybe not super practical but it would be a hoot.

Cool rig and a 40 cal bullet with bumped velocity out of a rifle barrel should have plenty of thump to be useful.
I'd be in for a 10mm pump action rifle. Anybody make such a thing, or at least one in 45 ACP? Heck, does anybody still make pump action rifles?

They used a 44 mag and rebarreled to 45. Fiddled with a few of the innards, sounded that simple when I first read about it, always wondered why it wasnt done more often?

My 44 Mag Marlin ended up 50 A.E. & that was not as simple as originally thought, needing a custom tube for the magazine among other unexpected issues...
I would like a 10mm as a companion gun for my S&W 610... wonder if they could be made to feed 10mm Magnum, if rechambered???

But the auto cartridges headspace on the case mouth, would have to be one or the other couldnt do 10mm auto and 10mm magnum.

The last two Rossi .454s I saw a sell on GunBroker were in the $1500 range...
A 10mm 1894 would be a great gun but I wonder if there would be any problem with when filling a magazine would some of the bullets telescope into the case if the taper crimp was inadequate... Kind of like the opposite when 10mm is used in a revolver, bullet pull....

I have 2 of the Rossi 454s. What I would really like to have is one of the 480s

I have been looking for one in .480 for a while, always a day late and a dollar short it seems

While the 10mm Auto case is much stronger than the .45 ACP, with stronger hold on a bullet via taper crimp, variations in brass, bullets, and dies may result in low neck tension. These particulars amplify the heavenly marriage of a rimmed case to the tube feed lever action. Hard to imagine what a 10mm offers the lever action a .357 Mag doesn’t do better. To distinguish the importance of reliability in a self-defense arm over a gun carried afield is a snobbish conceit designed to warp one’s mind. Real marksmanship requires an uncluttered mind. If the 10mm Auto can be made reliable----under adversity----in the lever action, fine. I’d sure want to test it. A lever action .357 Maximum, capable of smooth feed with a Spitzer, a Spire Point, and a cast Long Flat Nose would be a hoot. David Bradshaw

Other than the uniqueness and commonality with a 10mm pistol a .38-40 WCF is the original 10mm magnum and would make more sense but again when do rifle loonies make sense

My answer, Marlin cowboy in 41 mag. What’s a 1/100th of an inch among friends!

Hijackin' if I may, as it's about the Arms Room. This is mine, waiting for me to pay Lee at the Arms Room. It's a Marlin limited blah blah blah I sent to David Clements for a list of stuff. Years later saw the Arms Room website and got hooked. It's now a takedown with Texas Tea Gunkote on it. Lee said he's making one of those 10mm guns into a takedown right now. I will certainly want to see where it prints once I get it back. Results will be in another thread. Thank you pacecars.

can I ask the gunsmiths around here... why not do an interrupted thread on the barrel & receiver, so it can just be inserted, & 1/4 twist to tighten??? ( something my retired buddy did on all his switch barrel rifles he's made )

( something my retired buddy did on all his switch barrel rifles he's made ) Dealing in manufacturing and machining, the reason for not using interrupted threads, is ease of manufacturing. Not having to cut away 1/2 of the internal and external threads, speeds up the job, and time is money. Also, another reason to not cut interrupted threads, is so as to not permanently alter the receiver. It could always be returned to a "more original" configuration. That wouldn't be possible, if the threads were modified.
Your retired machinist had several reasons for doing it the "correct" way. 1) because it was a nicer job, 2) because there was a challenge to it, and 3) because he was retired, and didn't rely on the income for a living. In my opinion, the number two, and one reasons were the main ones. From what I have seen, your buddy was/is, a highly talented individual, and one I would be honored to meet.
Mobjack With nothing but admiration, for "real" machinists.
