I have been trying to figure out how companies Like Marlin and Winchester did there takedown conversions on there lever guns. I’m talking about the block that matches the receiver profile and attaches to the barrel…….How does it attach to the barrels if it is threaded it seams like it would be very difficult to have ever thing line up correctly and still have the correct head spacing. My question is does any one know how that block is attached is it press fit, soldered or threaded or what? I’m not trying to do a take down conversion I’m just wandering how the machining of the barrel and receiver is done so that it all comes back together correctly. Hear is a link to a takedown on gunbroker.

| I understand how they work and the different ways they are made to come apart I have a marlin takedown rifle. I’m just wandering how they are built like I was talking about above there is a piece that attaches to the barrel that lines up with the receiver when threaded together I want to know how the piece is attached to the barrel. |

The Winchesters and Marlins are not conversions, they use receivers specifically for take down. The barrel uses an interupted thread into the receiver and the magazine tube is screwed into the receiver to hold it together.
However - I have an article written years ago on American Rifleman that shows how to convert a conventional Model 94. I'll have to scan it one of these days, and that won't be for at least a couple of weeks. I have two antique take down Winchesters. One is an 1894 made in 1924, the other is a Model 53 made in 1926. They're cool and I'm always on the look out for another one (that's sensibly priced). |

That would be great if you had a copy of that article I would love to read it would probably help answer a lot of my questions. |
