Painted wood stock to make it look synthetic? Pass.

To each his own. I like the sights and the nitron finish.

I like the look of this new Marlin and with that Nitron finish and painted hardwood stock. I would think it would be really durable in the woods.
Not really light at 8 pounds but it is a lever gun after all and you probably don't want a 45-70 much lighter or it would be an unpleasant beast to shoot.

What's the difference between this and the ABL?

 

[woodlotowner]

What's the difference between this rifle and the SBL sitting in my safe, other than the paint on the same laminate stock and the William's fire sights?

What's the difference between this and the ABL?

some paint on the laminate, Nitron metal finish and Firesights

 

[HChammer]

If I found one real cheap I'd buy it and sand the paint off the stock lol

To add to TB's response,

The ABL is blued, this model is stainless.

I highly doubt the trigger breaks clean and under 4lbs

Almost 3X the price of a Guide Gun and not even real synthetic.
And heavier.
Over 8 pounds loaded.
If the bear doesn't go down after 4 shots you're a bad shot or you're shooting at a 'Smokey The Bear' sign.

I replace all my Marlin levergun triggers with the Wild West Guns Trigger Happy kit.
Clean, crisp, consistent 3 pound pull.
Expensive, but I need a good trigger.

 

[win94luver]

You're better off buying a 1895GS (a normal stainless Guide Gun).
1/2 the money and lighter.

It cost $400 to Nitron finish a SS rifle. That's what I was originally going to do. I have all the Wild West parts for it. Might just sell them to fund the rifle. Have to think about it.

Did you end up with one of these? If so how'd you like it? I recently saw a thread on here where they are being discontinued either that or one company saying it was the last batch they would be importing....made me think about one

Ya no doubt......thought it was a houge till you mentioned this

 

[sphen]

I think they are discontinued, I was thinking about it but couldn't justify the cost considering I don't really need one. They seem to have been pulled from the marlin webpage.

I'd take polished stainless and laminate over the paint and Nitron.

You know, I was thinking the very same thing.
Someone is happy with their new acquisition though.
