Today I mounted a very bright 1200 lumen "Nightstick" light on my Marlin 1895 via a Wild West Guns light mount. It does NOT enhance the classic looks of the 1895 but it adds a lot of capability re camp defense/bear defense which is a primary role for this rifle in my life. It tags along with me a lot when I'm camped in bear country. Which is often.
The light is currently available at an incredible discount from Bereli - it produces 1200 lumens - which means it's BRIGHT as all get out. I helped myself to one because of the big sale. I'd wanted a weapons light on this rifle for a long time.
As a cop, I really appreciated having a bright flashlight on my AR-15 patrol rifle. Now I'm happy to have one on my 45-70. Installing the WWG light mount was easy-peasy. Took just a few minutes.
The light mount looks good:
The light looks "meh" - but I'm okay with that, considering what it does for me:
Wider view with more of the rifle included:
"You light up my life... " LOL!
