Ordered a Marlin 1895 GBL 45-70 yesterday

I had the guy I get all my guns and reloading equipment through order me a Marlin 1895 GBL 45-70 yesterday. I sold my 1895 guide gun so I could justify getting this one.

Congratulations. Give us a picture when it arrives. As soon as it is broken in, let us see some of your target work. What bullet are you thinking of using?

Congratulations on the GBL.
Looking forward to the range report.

Congrats on the GBL! Man, I can't wait to see it! Those 45-70's sure are addicting. I am actually amping a little to get out and shoot mine some more. Really cannot wait to bust a deer or two with mine this year. Scotty

I gotta think that whacking steel is extra fun with a .45 Govt.!

I like the GBL. I played with one in Cabelas in Sidney Nebraska. It was fun. My buddy walked out with a 338 Marlin that day.

I was using a 350 gr FP Hornady Interlock with IMR-4198 in the one I just sold, soo I'm going to start there and see what happens? The guy I'm getting it through called yesterday and told me his distributor doesn't have one in stock soo I could be in for a little wait before it comes in?

 

[BK]

Well, any updates?

[tecumseh]

We're just waiting for the distributor to get one in and we don't have any idea how long that will be at this time?

 

[FOTIS]

OK then this should hold you over until then.

Sweet!
