Home Forums Lever Action Central Marlin Talk Marlin 1895ss

A friend called and asked if I was interested in a few guns. One of them the Marlin above. He is asking $650, it is a JM blued missing the sight hood. A few dings in the stock. From the pictures and what I see on Gunbroker they are a blued 22” 45/70.
1st ? How good of guns are these
2nd any issues known with this model
3rd Is that a price to jump on right away
Appreciate any feedback

Buy it now or let him know ill take it

I picked it up. He gave me 5 boxes of factory Hornady levr ammo and a box of FTX bullets to load. The gun has had a limbsaver added but does not appear to be cut. Also a tru glo front sight that is missing the fiber optic. Other than that very good condition

You did good. You owe him a lunch.

I probably do.

You should be jailed.

5 boxes of ammo included?
Look at going price for the ammo alone!

I did $57 for the leverev 325 gr FTX x 5= $285 plus a box of the FTX bullets.
Thing is I bought it to flip. My buddy new that. He set the price and told me to make some money.

He's a hell of a good buddy!
