Got a rare 45-70

[FOTIS]

Marlin 45-70 Limited V.

Half round half octagonal!

 

[Oldtrader3]

Nice Fotis, interesting variant. of a 1895 Marlin.

 

[DrMike]

That is a very attractive rifle. It would make a desirable addition to any collection.

 

[pre6422hornet]

Wow, that is really a find there.

I dont' think I have ever seen a Marlin with the 1/2 round barrel before. Very cool indeed.

 

[nvbroncrider]

Sweet! That would be a cool one to see up close half round half octogonal.

 

[SJB358]

Very nice 45-70 Fotis. Those are quite a good find!

 

[Guy Miner]

Cool. I had a lot of fun with a pair of Marlin 1895's for about nine years. Good shooters!

 

[BK]

I think one of these was for sale on one of the local (NW) boards a while back. Looked like a cool variant.

Sweet! That would be a cool one to see up close half round half octogonal.

here you go

I have one about like that in 45/70 with 26 " barrel. 1/2 round barrel. Mine have the straight grip not the pistol grip. I will try to get a pic up in the next day. I think mine was a dealer special.

 

[nvbroncrider]

That's awesome somebody must be good on the lathe!

 

[noslerfan]

Here's my 45/70. It's a killer.

 

[JD338]

Very nice, a keeper for sure.

Another very nice looking 45-70. Just keep it up, fellows, and I'll eventually weaken. :mrgreen:

Your resolve on the big bore lever rifles is pretty good Mike. I am pretty surprised you have held out for this long.

 

[REDGREEN]

I'm jealous. That is one that I for sure would be a happy hunter after bambi with, or anything else that walks this planet.

About time Doc. How can you not own the Classic of Levers? :mrgreen:

 

[DrMike]

If I didn't have multiple Model 94s, I have no doubt I would have sprung for the Marlin. I do keep my eyes open for a Model 94 chambered in either 444 or 450 Marlin that is offered this side of the line. I might well jump on such a rifle. I've passed on the Model 86 only because I had my funds reserved for a couple of custom guns and a safe.

That M94 in 444 Marlin will be a thumper! I am pretty excited to try mine out...

Whoa! Hold on! Stop the Press! You have a Model 94 in 444 Marlin? Scotty, are you holding out on us? Hoo, boy, that is not like you!
