What the going rate for a NIB 1895 guide gun blued/walnut?
I think you get the best answer by looking at Guns International and sold rifles on Gun Broker. Some rifles on Guns International are a bit steep, but I like it better than Gun Broker.
from what I've heard/read
2010-2014 were the RemLin schidt years
I have a couple Remington Marlins and I think they are as good as the old Marlins. Though the light weight 45-70 comes back pretty hard with full power loads - raps the right hand pretty good.
Wild West Guns Big Loop Lever will likely solve that issue.
