stopped in Frontier Outfitters today and saw they had an 1895SBL in stock, pretty wood on it but seemed odd (to me anyway) that my blue GBL has a laminate stock and the SS version has regular stock, even though it was some pretty wood.
pretty price on it too, $849, I only gave $599 for the GBL.
Is stainless that more expensive generally?
or is FO just cashing in on the ole supply demand equation, the clerk that let me handle it, said they got 6 in and that one was the only one left.
anyhoo if they'd had it before I found the blued version, I'd have probably bought it.
I can sent it to be Cerakoted and be $50 bucks ahead, well if I do disassembly (which is pretty straightforward on the Marlins.
not that I reco it, but I locked my Marlin's safeties on fire, I feel the crossbolt safety is an unnecessary doohickey on a lever action
