Marlin 1895 Cowboy

[RNE228]

Have a chance to get a Marlin 1895 Cowboy, octagon barrel 45-70 used. what's the +/-'s?

Like the look and feel. 45/70 is a good cartridge.

do you reload? have deep pockets to feed that thing?

[MongooseV8]

Reloading is easy and fun for the 45/70. Pretty cheap to shoot after you get setup. If you can get a JM stamped 1895 Cowboy for less than $800 consider yourself lucky. They are excellently crafted firearms and you will get many years of enjoyment from it.

This is true! I also read 45/70 can break your shoulder, so I wouldn't buy it. Please pm me all the info on where to buy this gun, thanks

I love my 45/70, especially with black powder loads.

[RNE228]

I reload; a brand new set of Hornady dies comes with it.

I'm a Savage 99 fan; this will be a departure. But it looks like a fun shooter

[Seaweed02]

Buy it.

I was looking all over for one of those, but couldn't find one anywhere. I ended up getting a Winchester Model 1886 in 45/70 instead, but I had fallen in love with the look of the Marlin 1895 Cowboy. I really like the octagon barrel it has. Heck I still want one.

I would love to have an 1895CB, my 45-70 is an 1895SBL turned into a Wild West Guns Co-Pilot take down. My favorite rifle of all...

[Smockem]

I have some empty brass and lead bullets for 45 70 if you're interested.

[texterter]

Get it ASAP.

Love mine. 45-70 is EXTREMELY versatile,for light to very heavy loads.. it is fun to wicked.
