I’m guessing it will be awhile until Wanstalls have one in stock?

Is it real stainless steel or chrome plated like the Chiappa All weather?

My stainless Marlin 1895GS with full powered loads is a handful for a small stature person even with a sissy pad and a trimmed LOP.
My roll yer owns are pushing a 405 grain Woodleigh Weldcore approx 1925 fps.

That is a serious load.

H4198 and IMR-3031 are my favorite 45-70 powders for the Marlin 1895GS.
I have a plinking load I make with 405 grain cast bullets and Red Dot pistol powder.
Quickload predicts my max pressure around 39,900 psi which is in the safe range of Group II 45-70 loads.
Fired primers have lots of "round" left, easy extraction of fired cases and after firing measurements indicate minimal "brass flow" (case stretching in either direction).
