The Model 1895G Guide Gun pairs classic Marlin handling with the power of .45-70 Govt. It features a side-eject, solid-top steel receiver and an 18.5-inch round, blued steel barrel with a recessed crown. The fixed tubular magazine holds four rounds and feeds through a right-side loading gate.
Factory-style appointments include a straight-grip walnut stock and matching walnut fore-end with cut checkering, plus a rubber recoil pad. Iron sights include a ramped front sight (no hood); rear sight configuration may vary. A cross-bolt safety provides straightforward operation.
Purposeful upgrades are already installed: a receiver-top Picatinny rail for mounting, a right-side clamp-on hammer spur for improved access around the rail, and a braided paracord lever wrap for added purchase. The buttstock adds a flush-cup QD socket, and the barrel band carries a front sling swivel.
This rifle is drilled and tapped from the factory, and it ships set up with a paracord-wrapped 2-point sling. The configuration is clean, functional, and ready for the range or field.
