Our Assessment: The Marlin 1895 is the tried-and-true configuration of the famous 45-70 Gov’t rifle. This beautiful rifle sports an American black walnut stock and a 26” octagon barrel, and is built with a precision-tuned receiver. The barrel has Ballard-style rifling and is chambered for 45-70 Gov’t. The offset hammer spur is provided along with a mounting wrench to ensure the best hammer control possible when an optic is mounted on a lever action receiver as there may not be enough space between the optic and the hammer to adequately place a thumb on and control the hammer. The offset hammer spur can be attached to accommodate left or right handed shooters. This rifle is in Excellent condition showing little, if any, signs of use in the field and comes in its factory original matching box. Don’t pass up the opportunity to add this to your arsenal. Please see our photos and good luck!
