It entails re-working the interior of the rifle. Marlin said it couldn't be done. They took a lot of orders for the 1895 in 475 before they realized they couldn't get it to work. An embarrassing situation for them I am sure. My guys worked on re-designing the Marlin 1895 to the 500 S&W for several weeks before we got it to work reliably.
I have one of my guys working on the conversion of the 475 and 500 Linebaugh in the 1895. Whether we can get it to work is yet to be found. I will post it here if we do.
