Man I just love America from England.🇺🇸🇬🇧
HOWDY, Paul!!!..... from East Texas. 🇬🇧🇺🇸👍
Paul Reynolds can you legally own a lever gun in the UK?
Hi Michael.
Yes a lever action rifle no problem at all. In the uk you have to apply for a shotgun certificate which you can only shoot shotguns with. And for a rifle you have to apply for a firearms certificate which is harder to get. You have to have permission in writing saying you can shoot on that land and it has to be suitable for that purpose. It’s mostly to deter undesirable people for acquiring a gun. We can even have sound moderators for hunting rifles. But look at our knife crime in the uk very high in places mostly drug gangs . I wouldn’t like to think what it would be like if they had guns. But our police should be armed.
yea you can, from what i've read, they can be in any calibre you like, except .50 cal i think. i want to get one when i'm old enough.
Wow I absolutely love the concept all the rifles are beautifully made I love the fact that they have a Picatinny rail for Optics
Talk about taking the lever action platform to another level! I want a 44 or 45/70!!
i bought a 2001 Marlin 1895G a few years back from a pawn shop. the owner swore he took amazing care of it, cleaned it regularly and had just shot an elk with it the previous year. the lever took considerable effort to move and clearly hadn't ever been properly cleaned or lubed in probably ever, but i could feel how solid of a rifle it was. I still bought it hoping i wasn't being delusional, best rifle i have ever owned. All it needed was a solid cleaning and lubrication, even with a shitty previous owner the marlin still ran strong. It's too bad that their reputation and quality has apparently dropped so heavily.
I wouldn't worry about the quality to much if you can do your own polish jobs. I bought a Remlin 1894 in 2012. It was not great and in fact the trigger sliced my finger with in a few minutes of handling the gun. And yes that's not good and the internals were worst. But it did work and the fit and finish was ok. I deburred and polished it up, and it's a fine gun. I got one that worked during the worst period, and they are better now. I sure wouldn't buy one sight unseen, but will jump at the first 44mag I find for a nice price. I don't care when it was made.
What calibur did you shoot? Im thinking of getting one as a hunting rifle.
@@thebardock6785 mine was a .45-70 gov. depending on which ammo you buy, it may or may not be the hardest kicking rifle i have ever shot.
@@duster0066 you shouldn't have to modify you firearm to make it work properly, much less slice your hand open
People just have to admit that Marlin isnt Marlin anymore after Remington bought it
@@Courtesyflush52 I agree. I think what I meant to say is; once finished (which I had to do) mine is fine. lol
You have to pay extra for Marlin to deburr their rifles? That’s crazy!
Thays what i thought
What’s burr?
konrad vesterberg deburr
/diːˈbəː/
verb
neaten and smooth the rough edges or ridges of (an object, typically one made of metal).
"hand tools for deburring holes in metal"
I just bought an 1895 SBL and stripped it down and cleaned it, given how polished everything in side was, it made me wonder what could be deburred, or polished in the thing and having tried the trigger what would be required there either. The action is also very smooth and from experience they usually just get smoother still with use. Almost seems like a way to charge you more for virtually nothing. As for all the cerakote etc. blued with wood, stainless with wood or the stainless with the grey laminate looks so much better than any of the "painted" guns and synthetic stocks to my tastes any way.
@@fiveowaf454 I don't really know what services these guys offer for the trigger, but I know that Marlins typically suffer from Marlin flop and there are different kits you can buy to remove it.
Gotta love those Marlin rifles!
Agreed!
Wow! Really nice. Dad and i had many 35 Rems. They are both accurate and get it done. Put the green breach, black stock, picatinny rail and sights in the cart, i'll take one! 44'd be nice too but i like the 45/70, your in the woods somewhere and get suprised...guess what?
I have an old pre Remington jm and it's amazing!
I have new Remlin 1894 SBL that I got in April. It has been great and 300 rounds in it has only been getting smoother, and better. No issues here. Now that Ruger bought Marlin from Remington i hope they'll get even better!
what a beautiful pieces
Why would you have to get a $1,000 + rifle deburred or dehorned? For that price, I'd hope it was an amazing rifle out of the box! I guess $1,000 doesn't get you what it used to.
@Michael Neely 34" is hardly an overall optimum length for smokeless powder in 45-70, may have been of greater ballistic value with slow burning black powder. While velocity is increased by barrel length to a point, I've seen data that suggests in 45-70 the increase is about 15fps per inch above about 18.5" of barrel length, therefore assuming the powder is burning slow enough to still be seeing benefit at 34" we might be talking about 233 fps, hardly worth worrying about in a rifle that is a close range, to 225 yd rifle in Guide Gun style. Most modern factory ammo is tested from a 24" barrel and the 18.5 inch barrels on these guns on average lose 6% from advertised velocity across all the loads that were in a test I read. With all respect to your rifle with that barrel length, what would be the chances of having that on you, or with you, in any situation out doors where you are carrying it for protection, or even hunting if much hiking was required? I have two Marlin lever action rifles of recent production and the quality is excellent, my question regarding the custom work would be, have stripped and cleaned them, what are they deburring for all that extra money? I cleaned my stainless 1895 SBL two days ago and the insides are as polished as the out side, incredible finish for a gun of it's price.
Try a Henry !
Nice weapon. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼👍🏼
No problem, thanks for watching!
35 Remington is the ideal load for me!
My dream rifle
'Mild or as Wild" good slogan. :)
Beautiful riffles -
FUN !
TJ slayed it! Good job, dude!
Keep the case and drop the price 1350. Thanks
I love Marlins, but I bought a used 336, it looked rough, and this rifle turned out very accurate for a 30 30. I have since refinished it. I would be pissed if I bought one of these custom Marlins and it did not shoot well. I have 4 Marlins, really they should come in good shape from Remington. I have only had trouble with one, I bought it new, and it did not cycle well shortly after putting a box through it. I took it apart, and cleaned out a bunch of metal shavings, and it is good now.
Omg im in love
Personally, I'd ask for a 336 model Y, but I'd have a standard sized butt stock installed on it.
Now I'd have a great handling rifle that was even more compact and easier to handle!
I have a Marlin 1895 Cowboy action model in 45-70 6+1 18.5” octagonal barrel with Ballard rifling. It is a 2019 and when I first got it the lever action was rather stiff. But the way you are supposed to smooth out your lever action is by using it!! The more you use your levergun the more the parts will naturally marry each other and have a happy blending of metal parts which equals the final result: A smooth lever action!! All without risking trying to rush the process by sanding, filing ect... so everyone leave your new non custom Marlin levergun alone!! The more your lever action moves, the quicker it smoothes!!
A 00 Buck shot out of a smooth bore shotgun will give a pattern like the one shown here.
I was thinking the same thing! It's a RIFLE, and at 20 feet, that's what ya get!?
I would like an 1894c, make more of them
Great brush gun in 45/70
They should chamber one in 454 casull and 460 s&w
Yes, both... maybe in .500 S&W for those fans.
I agree. All 3 extra large pistol calibers. I would get the 454 and maybe a .500 for shits and giggles. 😎🤘🏻
You can shoot 454 from 460
True, the only pistol cal lever to have would be 454. And ....454, 460, and 45 long colt can all be fired from the same chambering. So......ya......k.
I dont know if a 454 would cycle in a longer 460 action might be more reliable in just one or the other due to the length difference
Damn good looking rifles, I'm in the wrong state CA. but I am out in a very remote area of the Mojave Desert were it really does not matter!
@@Future-Preps35 🎯🎯🎯🍺
I think the deburring should have been called "rounding" where they "round" the edges, as seen around the ejection port, so they are more "finger friendly"...
If Marlin produced a all weather mod 1895 in 460sw or 500sw id buy 1 tomorrow
I would love to have one of these in 44 that was my dad’s favorite round
We do carry them in .44 mag.
I bought the 1894 SBL in .44 mag and love it! It's the grey laminate stock and stainless steel finish with 16” barrel. I also love the XS ghost ring sight and pic rail that came with it. Only thing to make it better is if the barrel were threaded and I have plans to make it happen!
If you want truly custom, go to a Gunsmith I want one with a fiddleback maple stock and chambered in something other than 45-70.
I won one at a CDA dinner and traded it in for a Browning Buckmark Rifle.
I will be ordering one of these ...44 Magnum 16 inch barrel big loop XS rail
Awesome! They are great guns.
You won't be disappointed. I have 1894 SBL in .44 mag and absolutely love it!
One of those stainless, in calibre .308, with a 14 round rotary magazine and a threaded muzzle would be cool
14 round mag?
@@minerblue9641 wishlist :) I know they don't exist but I think 14 rounds would be sufficient to carry on the rifle without affecting balance...
A lever action rifle/w a scope. For in case you don't want to shoot through the brush, but through the holes in the brush between the branches.
You guys getting little wound up about de-burring a new gun. Unless you order any new gun from the manufactures custom shop, it will need de-burred.. most all will debur with use.
If I was guiding still or a deputy in county back roads or Alaskan game warden. This might be a really good truck gun. In .44 mag or .45-70. Sometimes a AR is not needed. I like traditional lever action firearm. However I see this being a great gun, to have in the Arsenal.
Thanks love the rifle but my Mosin would have put them all in a tea cup at that range. Not sure what happened there. Cheers.
Too bad it’s impossible to find Marlin these days. Henry is happy about it though.
@@Future-Preps35 - Then it will be another year until they unfuck them .
The 150 anniversary 444 marlin can y’all make that same rifle in any time with the same grieving on it and the 1/2 round barrel and 1/2 octagon barrel y’all don’t have to put the 150 anniversary on it but every thing Else on the rifle if y’all can how much is it
What's with the awkward pause in the lever stroke? It doesn't look like it functions very smoothly.
This is just a guess, perhaps he is simply not used to shooting lever guns?
Or maybe these Remington-made Marlins still suck?
@@mdredheadguy1979 it seems as though he's consciously pausing, like he has to wait for something to cycle. Very odd looking. And also... Remlins suck! Lol
@@mdredheadguy1979 The transition period Marlins are rough, some of them cant even be considered finished products. They're much better now but the fit and finish of the wood and laminate stocks still aren't the best.
@@MrBurgerphone1014 They aren't any better now. At least, not when I got mine last year.
Doug Powell maybe the inexperience of the user. At least he left it shouldered to cycle the round in battery.
I like to see Marlin .308 and 9mm parabellum version..
Everyone do yourselves a favor... Go on Gunbroker, get yourself a JM-branded Marlin made in North Haven, CT. Make the mods you want on a gun that works and do so for about $1800.00 less than what the "Remlin" custom shop charges. As of 02/20 the "Remlin" Custom Shop indicated a job to simply shorten an existing 1895 CBA to 16.25" and add a readily available ghost ring site (Skinner) would cost a grand total of $3695.00. LOL! As a previous commenter wrote in here, does that include deburring?
Hey Remington - You lost us out here. Go make your money somewhere else and let Marlin RIP.
Can’t decide on this this first or AR15 7.62x39...
I prefer my .444 Marlin. Do you guys customize these? Mine is a 1960's microgroove...
Just a bit of a kick with the 45-70
Great demonstration, T.J. Very enjoyable. Can you please tell me what the maximum accuracy range is for the .357, and the 45-70? I'm trying to decide which of these to purchase, and I want the one that shoots the farthest. Thanks.
I haven't personally tested the max effective range of both, but the consensus seems to be about 100 yards for the .357, and around 200 yards for the .45-70. They can both obviously shoot farther than that, but that comes down to the shooter being able to calculate their shot accurately, which becomes much more difficult once you get out farther than that.
@@impactguns
Thanks.... I really appreciate the info. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!👋🎅
@@t4texastomjohnnycat978 Merry Christmas!
Their prices are out the door $$$$, glad I have my Leveractions already, a 308 "real" Marlin and a Rem-Marlin 30 30. Next thing you know they'll purchase Henry and Winchester, then charge the other arm and leg.
Steve Duvall Henry will never sell out.
Still waiting for Henry to make a .357 side loader.
@@tacticalcrusader3709 they did Henry xboy
@@TommyMx Yeah I know. I was able to pick up the Henry Model X in .357
Tactical Crusader yeah that’s a sweet rifle I just got the marlin dark series in .30-.30 and it’s really sweet marlin finally making quality rifles again
My 1895 was a walking disaster when it arrived to me. I doubt very seriously anyone actually test fired it from the factory. All these extras you talk about from the custom shop, should be standard. I bought a $1000 rifle and had to spend an additional 700 on it to get it where it should’ve been in the first place…
Oh boy Remington is painting their turds now
I wonder if Marlin has finally ironed out their quality control issues? Thats what happens when the company sells out and the new owner fires all the old world master craftsmen who knew,how to make the guns and replaces them with new CNC machines and younguns who know how to set up CNC machines,but don't have a clue about how to make a Marlin with old world craftsmanship and outstanding quality throughout, excellent fit & finish on both the metal and the woodwork, smooth cycling and excellent accuracy! I'm still holding off buying a new Marlin or 3 until I start seeing reviews attesting that new Marlins are now put together as well as old Marlins. I own a Golden 39A that I've shot hundreds of thousands of rounds thru, and an 1895 that I bought from a friend back in about 1999 or 2000, he bought it in AK.
Yeah, there was a definite shift for a while but they seem to be working out most of the issues. The custom shop rifles especially are put together very well and have given us no issues.
My 1948 336 .30-30 is smooth as glass. I'd have a hard time buying one without a JM stamp.
You've shot hundreds of thousands of rounds through it??? Really??
@@minerblue9641 hahaha I thought the same thing. Probably an arm chair operator too.
@@minerblue9641 yes, really. From the age of 12 thru 19 I put 500-1000 rounds a week thru that rifle sometimes more, sometimes less. And i've shot thousands upon thousands of rounds thru it nearly every year since. So at the low end of say 500 a wk for 7 yrs = 182,000 rounds, but some weeks I went thru an entire case of 5,000 rounds. So, yes, I can safely say I've put several hundred thousand rounds thru that rifle. And if you are skeptical, I really dont give a flying fuck. I also reloaded 12 ga with my old MEC 600 jr. and I'd typically burn thru 500 rounds of 12 ga every weekend as well, a lot more during dove season. As a kid I lived in the woods, I often hunted before school, after school, and sometimes during lunch hour at school we would snesk out and hunt ducks in a nearby pond.
@00:51 what is a >> Composite Stock
I love them but not $3700 😤😢😭 not for me I can build them for less they asking for them
Henry are still way better quality and they don't have a cross bolt safety that just insults you
You can buy a Marlin 1895 for about $600 and the rail with ghost ring sights for $170. You can polish and de burr it for free. So at $770 you are 80% at there custom gun, just get a $150 dollar trigger and single color coating. For around $1200 you have that same rifle.
scott0551 true. $3700 for that is a steep steep price. Duracoat makes a aerosol spray applicator now so even the painting process would only cost you $25. These things are crazy overpriced
Any tips for buying or building your own? I want to own a quality one but those prices are not looking nice
I'm looking for a lever action chambered in 444.marlin?
Just curious to know what was the group size and at what distance they shot the provided target from the custom shop?
They vary slightly per rifle but I just checked on one that we had here and it's about a 1" group at 25 yards.
Curious, what’s the Max distance before accuracy dwindles with that gun type?
I wouldnt shoot anything farther than 200 yards with a lever gun. The flat tip bullets don't fly nearly as far but they do pack a punch.
Wish they would make a stainless 1894 in 454 casull/45 colt. Laminate stock with big loop. Just plain stainless steel. No coating.
How about the 1897?
I would love to get a 336 in .348 Winchester or even .375 Win for straight wall hunting. Marlin used to chamber for various Winchester rounds like .32 Win special or .356 Win. but no more.
Seems like they can't do anything right anymore.
Can someone please do the math for me how long does the barrel have to be if i want a 45 70 with 10 or 15 rounds
Strangely enough, I prefer the Henry style loading from the tube for my purposes.
I like the fact Henry has both the tube unloading and loading as well as the side gate now.
Hi Impact Guns, this is just a gentle reminder to my earlier text below. With the kind of lever action I would like you to custom make, it would really to great to know your price and how long will it take for you to deliver the rifle that I like?
Remington, who owned Marlin, went bankrupt and sold Marlin to Ruger. Until Ruger decides what they're going to do they won't be making any Marlin Custom Shop rifles.
Can I get the tan and green in 45-70???🤯🔫👍🏽
Looking for a Marlin lever gun chambered in .357 can you help me out
Why does my Marlin lever action 44 mag tend to jam at times, l can only place one round in the pipe and one in the bottom , please help
There's no way for us to know without looking at it. I would give Marlin a call and see if they can help.
Hi, can you setup for me a New Marlin 1894 .357 Lever Action, exactly as it appears on your Dark Series? But instead of the dark series, I would prefer one with the wood color on the stock with checkering on it.
Since we're a Marlin Custom shop dealer we can get a rifle setup however you want.
That is good to hear. So if you can check my latest posting, I have indicated a CZcams website wherein you can see exactly how I would want my lever action to appear, but must be in the .357 / .38 special caliber. Given these information, how much will my custom made rifle cost and how long will it take to deliver should I decide to order?
Will you make one or could I get one in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum?
These ones aren't available in .500 S&W, but someone else in the comments mentioned another company that does make them.
Only bad thing about it is that it has been priced way over what its worth.
Better a .223 semiauto.
Le cérakote est pas trop fragile surtout là où on introduit des cartouches ?
That thing kicks like a mule to much for my 76 year old shoulder. Beautiful guns wouldn't mind having one in a 22LR
Yeah, the .45-70 definitely has a little more recoil than some of the others. Packs a pretty serious punch!
At 3:50 mark, it has a safety. Does the 1895sbl modern lever hunter have a safety? It does not seem to on the Marlin website.
Yes they do. If you were to check Marlin's website again and look at the rifles there is a small circular button that's on the right side of the receiver. It's higher up near the hammer. That's the safety.
What ones come with a threaded barrel?
We can order any of them in with a threaded barrel.
how can i buy one like that?
No .38-55?
Can you get a custom 30-30
Yes, we can get anything offered through the Marlin Custom Shop.
So close for such a spread. We’re you flinching ? It looked like a stiff recoil
Marlim é chou
What no 30 30 ??
Hope anyone looking at that target realize that had to be the shooter not the rifle. He needed to bench it so it looks like a good gun , after his display of pray and spray
The last one you showed and shoot whats the goin price love the color and with the action triggerjob whats the price
That one sells for $1,995.00.
Thanks just been lookin around i seen some bone stock one for just over 1k but that custom one looks awesome
@@oldwinchester76 Yeah the custom shop models are definitely more expensive but you can tell they've had a lot more work put into them.
Will they produce a takedown?
We haven't heard of plans to produce a takedown but that would be awesome if they did.
Can you do a marlin rifle in 10mm?
Wayne D that cartridge is a auto rim, notice all the casings offered are for a revolver or rifle. The lever action is set up that way.
.357 Magnum has almost identical ballistics as the 10mm. With similar weight bullets. Also the .357 Mag has better ballistic coefficient.
@@minerblue9641 you are absolutely correct sir
MAYBE Remington (Cerberus Capital Management) should FIRST build the Marlin RIGHT, THEN move on to "custom" Marlins... Just saying....
Marlins were always one of the BEST firearms out there, till Cererbus bought them. Get the Marlin Name back up on top first....

Can I know price for marlin xlr in 45-70 and where can I find that gun in Europe?
Not sure where you can find one in Europe. We don't ship internationally.
@@impactguns price in America?
@carpe diem 😂😂😂 why do you think like that
Four years ago I bought a Marlin 336 XLR/30-30 Win. with a 24 inch barrel and a 5 round magazine for $800.oo + tax. At a little gun shop in Elephant Butte, NM.
I like to shoot reloads with Speer 130g Jacketed hollow point bullets in it. With only, and I say only one round in the magazine and one in the chamber. It has ballistics very close to the .300 Savage with that round. Or thinking about it another way its ballistics are better than the 7-30 Waters round.
Only one round in the magazine because these hollow point bullets are pointed like spirepoint bullets. Causes every round in the magazine to explode during recoil if you load more than one bullet in the magazine. Because in the tubular magazine the pointed bullet tip is resting on the primer of the bullet in front of it.
I don't see the 1895skinner trapper..in your collection..?16" tsbl..I didn't get the fancy case with mine..I have the black webbing stock mate stainless ..45/70 ofcourse..only thing wrong is the front sight...canted ...wtf‼

I bought a 336 in .35 Rem and it shot amazing. That was 2004, it's a shame to think they are trashy now.
Can I get the green one in .500 s&w?
They don't make them in .500 S&W as far as I'm aware.
@@impactguns That's a shame, but thanks for the reply.
@@Aaron-mn8gw that would be a fun caliber, although the .45-70 packs a bigger punch.
@@impactguns NO it does not! I am a HUGE .45-70 fan, and even with Buffalo Bore loads it will NOT catch .500S&W.

Bighorn Armory makes leverguns in .500S&W...

Need one in 350 legend
Nice weapons. However, at 15 yards, the shooter is inaccurate.
Keelan Miles dude couldn’t agree enough
Says the one who doesn’t shoot. That’s not a bad group for a ghost ring. The point of a ghost ring is to get on target fast. It a open circle with a knob or fiber optic up front.... there is no notch to match up like a pistol. Or a red/reticle like a optic.
You play video games too much.
@@justinbt so you are telling a 5" to 6" group is good a weapon with ghost ring sights. You have no clue what you are talking about. A standard M4, which I used in Iraq, can put 10 rounds in a 2" group firing at a medium pace. I shoot more than you lie about to your buddies. Oh last time I lived with my mom is before I was in the Marine Corps and then the Army. Now that I am retired I shoot every day. I am sure you are another internet tough guy.
@@justinbt consequently my shooting resume is extensive. When you grow up a little and do your research you can talk with the big boys.
I need I need one in 357magnum
We carry them in .357 mag.
A 20 moa rail so u can shoot 400 yards lol
No 50/90: 50/120?
We need to shake up the lever market with something new and different?
I guess 30-30 isn’t hip.
I actually hate the XS sights
Nice rifles - but every time I see that someone has taken the time during their "gun build" to wrap paracord around the lever....I chuckle.
Why? No different than stiching leather....diffrent strokes for different folks.
People have been wrapping lever loops since they were invented
Why would any one get a lever gun not in 45/70
Can someone send in a rifle for yall to customize?
We have a gunsmith that can do some customizations. Just depends on what you are looking for.
