Marlin 1895 45-70

Post by Francois Croukamp »

I have bought SN 09047654 in the last couple of days from a person who claims he had own this rife for close to 25 years. The rifle came to South Africa from Australia, I would like to know whether anyone can assist with date of manufacture.

Francois;

A new version of the Marlin Model 1895 with a serial number beginning with 09 would have been manufactured in 1991. Not quite 25 years, but 20 years for sure.......
Due to the increasing cost of ammunition, there will be no warning shot!

The growing federal deficit = generational slavery to the national debt.

If the world was perfect.......it wouldn't be.
