Dive into a piece of American history with the Marlin Model 1895G, also known as the "Guide Gun." Manufactured by Marlin, a renowned firearms manufacturer, this lever-action rifle is a blend of classic design and modern performance. Although it was manufactured in 2018, its design is a testament to its rich historical roots, hailing back to the original Marlin Model 1895. The rifle is in very good condition, showing only light, superficial signs of prior handling or use. There is a minor scuff along the top side of the receiver and missing plug screws for scope mount holes, but overall, it is in excellent condition and fully functional.
This model is chambered in .45-70 Govt., a historically significant caliber adopted by the U.S. military in the late 1800s, known for its power and versatility. The rifle has a capacity of 4+1, typical for a big-bore hunting rifle, and is complete with a clean, mirror-finish bore and excellent rifling, ensuring sharp lands and grooves for accurate shooting.
The Marlin Model 1895G features a blued finish on an 18.5" barrel and a sturdy, checkered wood stock that includes a recoil pad for comfort and control. It also boasts a ramped front sight with a brass bead and hood and a dovetail rear with a foldable sight with a U notch and elevator. The rifle also comes equipped with sling swivel studs for easy carry and a crossbolt safety for secure handling. A bird's eye stock accent adds a touch of elegance to this reliable, potent firearm.
Owning the Marlin Model 1895G is not just owning a gun; it's owning a piece of Americana.
