Anyone know where i can get a nice leather butt stock cartridge carrier for a 1895G.

I'd give a call to El Paso Saddlery shop.

I got mine at a small gunshop in Verbort Oregon called Al's gunshop ask for Marcus I believe I paid $50.00. Here is a pic.

Great looking outfit. What cal. and where did you find the large loop lever nad scope mounts?

That looks good. Keep in mind, from my experiences that leather slip cover will not work with out the sling swivels helping to hold it in place. I make them on request, but don't reccommend them. I had a customer ask me to modify his when it slid up the stock. No way to keep it in place.

I believe the big loop lever can be found at Midwayusa.com (sp of site) as for the mounts im not sure my friend.

The rifle is a 1895G in 45/70 the large loop lever is from WWG the sights and scope mounts are from XS, I also extended the magazine tube which I think realy makes the gun look and balance like a lever action should. As for the cuff riding up I believe it probably would but in my case my swivel stud keeps it in place.

Yes, as I mentioned, without the swivels, it will ride up.

I do like the look of the extended Tube. Over all I think that is one fine looking rifle and set up!

Thanks.

out of curiosity, how do you extend the magazine tube??...ur own work, or is there an actual extension(sp?) you may purchase

I bought the tube for a Marlin 1895 cowboy from Brownell's cut about 4in from the end opposite the magazine bulge, and then re cut the dovetail on the underside of the barrel. I also bought a Marble's sight blank and filled the old dovetail and filed it to match the barrel.

thanks for the response HC, what bullets are you shooting there? handloads or factory ammo?

I handload for everything. The ones pictured are 405gr remingtons over 48.5gr of IMR4198 with winchesyer pimers and brass. It is a stiff but accurate load in my rifle. I am going to order some 425gr Beartooth piledrivers and play with those. I have yet to shoot cast bullets out of this rifle so I am curious to see how they shoot.

very good, thank you!
