go check out Marlin Talk and see the party line.... There is also a post on yahoogroups nef-singleshot that copies the text.... seems the lawyers cannot stomach the use of the product by people who know the difference between a 38 Special, 357 Magnum and a 357 Maximum, a 30-30 and 30-30 AI etc. etc. It would also seem that they are unable to simply state what their guns are and are not capable of so that those who do reload and rechamber and otherwise tinker with them have working guidelines to stay within.
