I had him rebore and rechamber a Marlin 30-30 to 356 winchester a few years ago. He did an excellent job and it cost $225 including shipping. It only took him about two weeks. ..that sounds really interesting as I like .35s over .30s for the short range hunting I do... Have a Marlin 30TK that was a KMart exclusive. Has been upgraded with walnut over the original beech. 18.5" barrel with 2/3s magazine... What are you running for loads out of the .356...will yours run .308 brass? Thanks...Bob |

I have only shot two animals with it. Both were with the Speer 180 flatnose. 308 brass works just fine in it.

I had Jes rebore an old Model 64 to 35-30/30. A 200 grain SAECO cast bullet makes short work on hogs.

JES turned a Marlin 336W in 30/30 into a 38/55. It is a deer killing machine. Turn around for me was about ten days door to door. The gun is ridiculously accurate and I couldn’t be happier with it. The next time I find a sporterized M1903 or M1917 that is still wearing its 30/06 barrel, that gun will be sent to him to be made into a 35 Whelen.

J.E.S rebored a 30-06 to .35 Whelen for me and did a fine job. I’m happy with his work.

I had him do a Sedgley Springfield with a rough bore from 30-06 to 375 Whelen. He did a great job. Ten days turn around from my door back to my door. I sure regret selling that one but with both a 35 and 400 Whelen I thought it was duplicating what I already had.
