Thanks for all the info and pics on here - I have been eyeballin' a Marlin 1895 in some configuration for a long time now. All my brothers shoot some variation of the Guide Gun, so I kinda felt let out, and that to get one like I wanted I would have to put some extra $ in for a stock, pad, loop and extended mag. But, then Marlin goes and builds the 1895GBL - found one on gunsamerica for $565 shipped and it was all over...
It arrives in less than a week!!!
Very excited-
