Marlin Dark

[Walking Bear]

Greetings decided to post my 1895 Marlin 45/70. Found a Ranger Point stock set, added a XS scout mount, Vortex Venom on a American Defense quick release, Pretty nifty would love to deer hunt with it on public land.

I am about as old school wood and steel as they get but these are very very cool!

Been thinking of getting one of these myself. Do they have an octagon barrel offering?

these are awesome. If they weren't so much more expensive and I didn't have a JM 1894c and a 336 already I'd probably spring for one.

I like "tacticool" lever guns and think they are a practical tool. I spent a good deal of money building up a 16" Md 336 into something cool then Marlin goes ahead and starts putting them out.

Highsmith's has an octagon barreled 45/70 right now, 899 I think.

Outstanding. I've been looking for one of these for a while. Can't find them in stock anywhere.

I have Henry's version, I just hope maybe I could find a black laminate stock to replace the plastic crap. It's fun to suppress the big thumper.

A black laminate would definitely feel better than the plastic. When I picked mine up there sales guy commented on how light it was which is great and all. However, it just doesn't feel right.

That is one of the things I prefer about the Marlin. The Dark stocks are laminate painted with what looks and feel like Krylon truck bed liner.

Yeah I figured it would add a bit of weight too and take some of the shoulder punch out of the HSM and Underwood stuff. First gun I've owned in years that will really bruise my shoulder.
