MARLIN 1895 DARK 45-70

The Marlin Dark Series Model 1895 brings modern tactical capability to one of the most respected big-bore lever-action rifles ever built. Chambered in the powerful .45-70 Government, this compact, suppressor-ready rifle combines legendary Marlin reliability with premium materials, advanced ergonomics, and today's most sought-after features for hunting, backcountry defense, and hard-use applications.

Built around a CNC-machined alloy steel receiver, lever, and trigger guard plate, the Dark Series Model 1895 delivers exceptional strength and durability. Its cold hammer-forged 16.17-inch barrel provides outstanding accuracy and long service life while the factory-installed radial muzzle brake helps reduce felt recoil. The threaded 11/16"-24 muzzle is suppressor ready and accepts compatible muzzle devices, giving shooters maximum versatility.

Finished in rugged Graphite Black Cerakote®, the major steel components are protected against corrosion and harsh environments, while the nitride-finished bolt and lever provide enhanced wear resistance and smooth cycling through years of dependable service.

The nylon-reinforced polymer stock features integrated M-LOK® attachment slots, flush cup QD sling swivel sockets, a generous recoil pad, and an included adjustable cheek riser that provides proper eye alignment when using optics. The anodized aluminum M-LOK® handguard and factory-installed Picatinny rail make it easy to mount optics, lights, slings, and other accessories.

An adjustable ghost ring rear sight works alongside a fiber optic front sight with an integrated tritium ring, delivering rapid target acquisition in bright daylight and excellent visibility in low-light conditions. The tubular magazine holds five rounds of .45-70 Government and reliably feeds a wide variety of factory ammunition through the traditional receiver loading gate.

Whether carried in bear country, hunting large game, or configured as a modern suppressor-ready lever gun, the Marlin Dark Series Model 1895 delivers classic lever-action performance with cutting-edge features.
