Marlin 1895 sbl quality

[38'55]

With all the chatter on here about quality of newer Marlins I was wondering if anyone has had any issues with the 1895 sbl? I have wanted one since they first appeared and since I cant afford a Wild West Guns product I am looking for input before I drop the cash. Thanks for reading, cheers to all.

As mentioned before look for the JM proof stamp on the barrel, instead of the REP.(Remlin)
Also look for a serial # that begins with atleast 91(2009 production)
I purchased mine just before xmas 2010, and there hasnt been a hitch come out of it yet...Awesome Rifle!(if you get a good one)

What are all those black things growing out of your gun? Get rid of them, before it spreads to other guns!

I like the scope, especially if it is in QD rings, not so sure about the bipod.

I suppose...the bullets are fat so you just need to get close.

And a scope...

Scope's OK if it's on QD rings, so you can slip it off before anyone notices.

Bipod was for picture purposes only boys...Jesus give me a break!
Its nice to see not 1 response answered what the OP asked!

 

[ben hunchak]

Hello? Advise for my original post?

Not sure I can answer the question, but I just dropped my $$$ on a 1895 GBL from P&D. Now it's likely to be a while before they ship it due to CP. WONKSY what kind of scope is that?

 

[todbartell]

a sniper scope...

I have looked a 5 different marlins in the last 2 weeks, two 336ss, 1 336bl, 1 336bl, and 1 1895ss. All of them have had off kilter sights. I think I'll stay away from new marlins for a while.

I wish I could say I was clean of such blasphemy. Alas...
