![]() ![]() Go slow and be careful.Īlternatively, you can remove the lever’s screw and pull the lever with locking lugs out of the action and then clean from the breech. We all know somebody who knew someone else who damaged their muzzle crown with a cheap cleaning rod. If you are old-school and only have cleaning rods, go from the muzzle but be careful. Then use a bore snake from the breech end to pull through the barrel. OK⦠how do you clean this thing? The easy way to open the action and spray a good aerosol or pump solvent into the barrel. It did help ease the *whack* my shoulder felt when I pulled the trigger. This gun needs all hands on deck when it goes off, to be sure, and good checkering helps. You could laser-etch it, as another option – anything to rough it up a bit more. I know – cut checkering takes time and money. Speaking of things that could be improved, here’s the checkering on the grip. Longer barrels/magazine tubes can carry more. Note the shortened magazine tube limits capacity to four. Granted, it isn’t in rough condition but you can tell it’s been shot, this is definitely not a problem with me! It belongs to a good friend of mine who loaned it to me, along with six cartridges, for this review. Let’s take a look at our gun in some detail.Īs you can most likely tell from the photos, I did not pull this out of a brand-spanking-new factory box.

Let’s take a look at the specs Marlin 1895. 45-70 that will work in most any situation, this Marlin 1895 will suit you. What was Marlin’s advantage over Winchester? By the 1980s, Marlin was producing more rifles than Winchester. In 1917, The Hopkins & Allen Arms Company was bought by Marlin for this purpose. Marlin’s focus became civilian firearms after the war. Later, they added a variant called the ”Marlin Gun” for (what would eventually become) the US Air Force. These were the M1895 Colt-Browning machine guns. Their machine gun production helped to supply America and our allies in World War 1. Its business began with making lever-action rifles, shotguns and pump rifles.Īt the time, Marlin was the main competitor to Winchester. ![]() Marlin was founded in the late 1870s by John Marlin in North Haven, Connecticut. I can’t think of a better outcome for Marlin in these circumstances. If Ruger builds the rifles, they’ll build them right. I for one am glad that Ruger jumped in and rescued the company. Ruger will start production of Marlin rifles very soon, if they haven’t already. This happened after Marlin’s parent company (Remington Outdoor Company) declared bankruptcy. You may have heard industry rumblings about Marlin’s acquisition by Ruger in 2020. The Marlin 1895 is in the middle of these two extremes, and it is a doozy. 22 LR at the low end, or an Italian-made replica of the Winchester 1873s and 1892, at the high end. You can spend hundreds of dollars on a lever action rifle. ![]() We shot it yesterday – my sons had a blast. Over the years, I have had many lever action rifles.
