The Marlin 1895 Dark Series is a modernized lever-action rifle chambered in the powerful .45-70 Government cartridge. Built around a CNC-machined alloy-steel receiver, durable Graphite Black Cerakote finish, and modular furniture designed for optics and accessories.
Its 11/16"-24 threaded muzzle comes equipped with a factory radial muzzle brake, while the full-length Picatinny rail, adjustable ghost-ring rear sight, and fiber-optic front sight with a tritium ring provide versatile aiming options. An anodized-aluminum M-LOK handguard and nylon-reinforced polymer stock offer multiple accessory and sling-mounting points without sacrificing durability.
The stock includes an adjustable/removable cheek riser for improved alignment with mounted optics and a generous recoil pad to help manage the substantial recoil of the .45-70 cartridge. A mid-size finger lever with a flared lower section provides comfortable cycling, while the loading-gate-fed tubular magazine holds five rounds.
