For many reasons it never happened and probably never will.

  There's just a limit to what those frames will handle. I think the 300 is past it.

The Handi-Mags would have had a new frame, one that Marlin wasn't prepared to spend $20k for testing on after they didn't get enough distributor pre-orders in late 2007, R&D was canceled prior to the 2008 SHOT show.
