it might not be reliable. The only bolt face that is near what the 218 Bee is in size is the 357 Magnum and it is about .040 too big so it wouldn't be totally reliable in extraction. Thinking back I don't remember ever building one in 218 Bee. To be reliable you would have to have a new custom bolt and Marlin won't sell the bolts, custom or standard. So I think you are S.O.L.
