Marlin 1895 Dark Series .45-70 Government - Big Loop - OEM Box - Excellent

Tactical Evolution of the Iconic Big-Bore Lever Gun

The Marlin 1895 Dark Series takes the legendary .45-70 Government platform and completely modernizes it for tactical, hunting, and utility applications. Engineered with a stealthy, weather-resistant black finish, this modern lever gun features a factory-threaded barrel with a removable radial muzzle brake to manage heavy .45-70 recoil, paired with an extended top Picatinny optic rail and a Ghost Ring rear sight with a high-visibility front post. This Dark Series includes a hammer extension and its original factory box. 

Condition and Action Highlights

Cheek Riser: Features an installed comb/cheek riser on the stock to provide instant, proper cheek weld when running red dots or magnified optics on the top rail.

Scope Hammer Extension: Included in the box is the factory knurled hammer extension offset to allow cocking and decocking beneath low-mounted rifle scopes.

Threaded Barrel & Muzzle Brake: The factory-threaded barrel includes an installed radial muzzle brake for recoil mitigation, with clean threads and proper indexing.

Bore Condition: The rifle features a bright bore with sharp, deep rifling designed for heavy hard-cast and jacketed field loads.

Action & Loop Lever: Lever operates cleanly with smooth cycling, tight lockup, and positive ejection.

Included Package: Accompanied by the original Marlin factory box, installed cheek riser, and scope hammer extension.
