This is my favorite rifle.. Just to share

[sandman7925]

It's a Marlin 1895G 45/70. Duracoated by rockmup. Treated by Cajun Cryogenics. Has a Wild West happy trigger. A brass Skinner XA rear sight with an XS front sight. The best sight picture I've been able to find. This rifle is just stupid accurate for a 45/70. I love it. Just thought I'd share

I've been wanting one of these bad. I have about 200 rounds of 45-70 and no gun I want to shoot it out of.\


That is real nice looking btw. Any reason you went with the shorter magazine tube?

Well, I originally bought this NIB bone stock from another member. But the models with the full length mag tube all have laminate wood that I despise. And of course now they are all Remington made and unless some serious changes take place I will never buy one of those. I just hunt for original Marlins in good shape. when I have funds.

That might be my favorite gun of yours.


How do you like that skinner sight? I thought about getting one before I got my Williams for the 1894. I love the peep, but I kinda worried about whacking the skinner against something.

Nice rifle though!

The pictured rifle was dropped on concrete at the range the first time out. The skinner sight took the brunt of the blow right on top of the stem. Scratched it a little but that was it. Everything held together fine. The skinners are tough.

id like to redo my marlin 30/30. id like all the metal to look silver/stainless. im going to strip the stock and do it in a cherry stain. the brass sights would look good but i have a scope on it!
