Marlin 1895, SBL vs Dark

[buck knife]

Well, that certainly adds evidence that current-production Remlins are good guns.

I don't know about that old one. I had heard that some of the JM guns were crap, but never actually owned or saw one like that. Maybe it was built on Monday, by workers who had just been informed that Friday would be their last day...?

Who really knows,I also thought recently Marlin had their act together,and then a guy shows up with his 2019 dated Sbl with a jammed up shell.I cleared it and then notice his front sight was canted over like the problem guns,checking the ser.# its a 2019 rifle.I just don't know anymore .
