years ago Marlin advertised the 1895 in 475 Linebaugh at the SHOT show and took orders. When they actually started working on it they found they couldn't make it work at all. So they had a lot of explaining to do. We have also tried making the 475 and 500 Linebaugh work in the 1895. We got them to work sometimes, not reliable enough to say we did. The 2.1" is the actual brass, not the total cartridge.

Gary, can the 8mm GNR be chambered in a Marlin 1895? (nm) - Lymey, 2019-09-19, 13:34
