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.
The 1894CL was made in .218, .25-20 and .32-20

But they are high as a cat's back. Doug had a .218 and sold it for around $750 give or take a bunch. He still has the .32-20. They have a 24" barrel and 1/2 mag. tube. I GUESS a .32-20 could be made into a .218 BEE but that too would be pricy, may be better to just buy a .218 Bee CL.
True, but he didn't ask that. he asked which 1894 could be
