The Marlin Model 1895GBL is a lever-action hunting rifle chambered in .45-70 Government. The GBL is a smaller version of the Classic Model 1895 with an 18.5″ barrel and weighing 7 pounds. And, it has a laminate two-tone stock.
Otherwise it has similar features to the Classic M1895 like Marlin’s Ballard-type rifling in the barrel, which carves six deep and wide grooves in it that, Marlin says, help improve accuracy for high-powered rifles. It’s a slow process, however, almost no stress is put on the metal, so it can better absorb the violent reaction when a primer is charged. Also, it has a tubular magazine that’s non-detachable and runs along the barrel. Rounds are fed through the front of the tube and it chambers like a shotgun—a spring pushes the round down as the bolt slides the next one into place.
Its cartridge, the .45-70 Gov’t,. is a preferred hunting round for shorter range. Since it has such a low velocity yet powerful impact, it’ll kill larger game without destroying a lot of the meat.
Marlin recommends the GBL for hunting deer, larger game and black bear.
