Marlin 1895 45-70 Guide Gun

[Maverick223]

I'm not set-up to roll my own just yet...

It is one of the best rounds to reload for...I too really need to get started.

well I might grab a SBL once more cash becomes available. Right now I guess I will just have to settle for my 336 customized by Grizzly arms into an 1895G profile in .35 remington

it did not come with the rifle if thats what your asking

 

[H2O MAN]

I have two more items worthy of investigation...

DRC Blue Steel Custom Big Loop Finger Lever Marlin 1895 45-70 Government Straight Grip.

Wild West Guns 2-3 lb. Trigger Marlin 1895 - Blue steel

 

[MCMXI]

H20 MAN, I added Wild West triggers, Wild West "bear proof" ejectors, DRC stainless steel magazine followers and one-piece firing pin/spring kits from www.longhunt.com to both of my Marlins in .45-70. I also added XS Lever Rails, XS ghost ring sights and Leupold Mark 4 optics. See, "upgrades" aren't only for M1As, M14s and ARs!!

The Wild West triggers are EXCELLENT and worth every penny. I put together a Wild West trigger installation "how to" a while back since I couldn't find any useful information on the internet.

A DRC or Wild West big loop lever will be next for the Guide Gun and XLR. Maverick, if I pick up a big loop lever for the XLR, I'll just mail you the factory lever at no cost since I wouldn't have any use for it.

I appreciate that 1858, Your a good man...despite what everyone else says. I will let you know if and when I pick up the gun (SBL model) as they are a bit hard to come by right now and cash is a bit tight due to the last rifle purchase.

I've noticed more than one Guide gun with that extended magazine tube, but I haven't been able to find anything more about it online. Anyone have a link?


I just picked up a beauty of a 1895 guide gun today. Price was 469.00 but I traded away two guns (henry .22, ruger .17) I had no real intention of using and paid only 60 bucks out of pocket for it. I was happy with the trade.
