I have a Marlin M1895 in 45-70 that I would like info on. I bought this thing in a pawnshop right. it is about 97%, and I think it to be very early, based on the following items: -No receiver safety -straight stock -"thin" type forearms sans checkering, and buttplate only on buttstock -Serial number on top of tang, where you can't install tangsite -blued, as opposed to gold, trigger -receiver at least appears to be factory drilled & tapped for a receiver sight. the proprietor swore the gun was not altered in any way. if he is right, what is this gun worth?
2nd question regarding this - I am thiking of having the 2/3 magazine on the 22" bbl extended to the muzzle, polishing the action, and restocking. Will this help or hurt the vaule of the gun? Thanks!
