The new generation of the Marlin Dark Series Model 1895 in .45/70 is a logical continuation of the original “tactical” Marlin models. Manufactured to the latest standards with a CNC-machined action, charging handle, and trigger plate, and a cold-forged barrel, the rifle offers a robust platform for this powerful caliber. The new Dark Series features a nylon-reinforced polymer stock with M-LOK interfaces, a QD sling swivel stud, and a removable cheek rest for use with scopes. The rubber butt plate provides excellent grip and effectively absorbs recoil.
The forend is a one-piece aluminum construction featuring M-LOK and QD mounting points . The barrel has a standard 11/16″-24 thread, and the rifle comes with a matching threaded nut and muzzle brake. The fixed sights consist of a fiber optic front sight and an adjustable ghost ring rear sight, along with a long Picatinny rail that allows for the mounting of a wide variety of optics—from red dot sights and scopes to scout configurations. The main components are coated with “Graphite Black” Cerakote , while the bolt and charging handle feature an incredibly durable nitriding finish.
