Marlin 1895 Dark Series .45-70 Lever Action Rifle

Marlin 1895 Dark Series: Modern Lever Action Power

The Marlin 1895 Dark Series represents a thoughtful evolution of the classic lever-action rifle. Chambered in .45-70 Government, this rifle combines traditional lever-action reliability with modern ergonomic features and tactical accessories.

Construction and Durability

The receiver, lever, and trigger guard are CNC machined from alloy steel for precision and strength. The cold hammer-forged barrel delivers ultra-precise rifling that ensures exceptional accuracy and longevity. All major components feature a durable Graphite Black Cerakote finish, while the bolt and lever receive a nitride finish for superior wear protection.

Barrel and Accessories

The 16.17" threaded barrel features an 11/16"-24 thread pattern and includes a factory-installed match polished radial muzzle brake. A thread protector is also included, allowing you to adapt the rifle to your preferred muzzle device or suppressor.

Sighting System

The rifle ships with a fiber optic front sight featuring a tritium ring for improved visibility in low-light conditions and an adjustable ghost ring rear sight. A Picatinny rail provides a stable mounting surface for scope rings and modern optics, while an included cheek riser optimizes your sight picture when using mounted optics.

Modern Ergonomics

The nylon-reinforced polymer stock features M-LOK attachment slots for mounting accessories and includes flush cup sockets for Quick Detach sling swivels. An anodized aluminum handguard also features M-LOK slots for customization. The mid-sized finger lever has a unique flare on the bottom for comfortable cycling, and a generous recoil pad effectively manages the .45-70's substantial recoil.
