gentlemen, I am reading a Clive Cussler book and the villain is using model 1895 45/70 in the year 1899.
what is wrong with that picture? was the model of 1895 chambered in 45/70?

well since I was wondering, I went to the only source I could find Norm Flayderman's (sic)?.
the 1895 marlin did come in 45/70. but the action was like the 93-94 with a closed bolt. not that this info is going to cure anything except curiosity. mine. book still had it wrong with the current 1895 being shown.
