and took orders for it, then found out it didn't work. Every custom gunsmith has tried it too and the same thing. The rim of the cartridge is too wide to go thru the 336 frame and the cartridge is too short to feed thru the 1895 frame. We spent a couple months trying to make it work. It worked somewhat but not what I would want to hunt with. We made the 500 S&W work in an 1895 which the big boys said couldn't work but that is the only one of the large cartridges that we could get to work.
