NEW! Marlin Model 336 & 1895 'Dark' Series

Calgary Shooting Center got some in nearly 2 weeks ago. Wolverine supplies had them listed as "in stock" on their website around the same time that CSC got theirs (still listed as in stock). I don't think they're out in big numbers, but they are trickling in.
The 1895 Dark is nice, I'm very happy to have scored one!
 
Can you let me know what the ###y furniture you’ve added on is?

I can. No sharp edges, straight sights although the elevation adjustable blade type sights are horrible in my opinion, stock fitment was perfect. Forearm tenon on straight. Action was smooth.

Basically my ABL was a lot nicer rifle then my GSBL which had all those 'F'ed up and crooked incorrectly machined hand-guard to boot. Only thing I could not fix or replace was the hand-guard....can't buy a green one that matches the stock. Marlin's / Gravel warranty department is helpful but the cost and annoyance of shipping makes using the service a pain. You can likely fix most of the issues yourself. Nice thing about the "Black Knight" series is they are given the once over in the build process where it seems like the general assembly line rifles are not...sure a lot of crooked front sights out there.

Dante Sports were really good to deal with.....they did check over the rifle before it was sent by request.

In Picture below, - no my finger is not in the trigger guard. Just supporting rifle on the lever. I agree though that it looks almost like it. Scope was installed just for fun and was taken off after one trip to the range.

What's the point of hardwood if it's painted?

Why not synthetic?

Looks like they had a ton of blemished/####ty wood and decided to paint it and sell it at a premium.

Marlin's Birch hardwood stocks look like hell. Somehow they manage to make wood look like orange plastic.
 
Felt one and it's very odd with the coated wood... like its undercoated...personally wouldn't mind black stained wood, but the coated wood has me hesitating
 
Brother and I each got one, it's phenomenal. No issues here, but I get it's not for everybody
