good question . . . if its a Marlin takes 2 seconds to take out the lever screw, pull out the bolt and clean as per any rifle from the chamber - if its a Rossi ( 92 Winchester copy ) its a real bastard to dissassemble and probably cleaned from the muzzle by most owners.

i own both . . . the Marlin is a better design and 30/30 is a better cartridge loaded from subsonic to factory spec . . others may see it differently of course

there have been a couple of suppressed Marlins on TM recently . . . mine was done by Status Guns in Invers

both will do what you want so probably cost of ammo will be more important than anything else.

Do you have a photo?
I would be after a 357

I'm guessing the Marlin can be cleaned up - just felt very tight
