These 1895 GSBL has been officially discontinued by Marlin, so once these are gone, they are gone! Built to withstand rough and extreme conditions, the stainless steel is finished with FNC (ferritic nitrocarburizing), which darkens the steel, increasing durability and scratch resistance. The special finish makes this one of the most weatherproof rifles ever to be produced. Finding your target is made easy due to the high visibility fiber optic sights. This rifle really is one of the best big bore lever actions currently available, and it is a shame to see it leave regular production. Be sure to load up your lever action rifles with performance ammunition from Buffalo Bore and Hornady Leverevolution!
