One of the best presentations I have watched on the tube..thanks.
The trick I used to get the hammer spring bracket back on was I got an allen wrench that just barely fit between the bottom of the frame and the metal bar. Then just pulled down on both sides till it clicked.
Very nice demonstration of disassembly and reassembly.
Great video and to the point without all of the unnecessary information 👍
Mine's the 1894c. I gave it the Wild West lever, fallower and ejector. As well as Skinner Winged sights for both front and rear. Put a scout rail on it. Got to tell you, I'm as pleased as punch with it. Been planning on getting the Happy Trigger. Just haven't gotten to it yet. Bought the rifle from Big5 about fifteen years ago. Just before the Remington debacle. Absolutely my favorite rifle. And the last one I'll ever get rid of. So far, it looks like Ruger's going to do things right. I'm looking forward to what they might accomplish. Thanks for the great video.
Most informative video for us Marlin Thumper lovers. My 1895 GSBL was made in December 2017. The Remlin factory did a fantastic job. Mr. John Marlin would be proud. Thanks for the Edumacation!! Haha haha Peace Be To Journey!
All brush guns are practical in the right environment. Under 20" barrel Lever action guns are excellent for brush hunting.
I enjoyed your video and style. I'm going to install on my Marlin Dark 1895 in .444 Marlin. To those negative comments about the looks of your rifle... I love the SBL but would probably have left the original furniture because it looks great. To those that complain about the kick I love to shoot mine. My Springfield M1A NM feels like a .22 after putting 20 through the .444 but it's a good hurt while I'm on it. The only thing I have done so far is put a Leupold 1-4 illuminated reticle scope on American Defense mount that I had sitting around. Bottom line my 1895 is one of my favorite guns and my collection would be the envy of 99.9 percent of enthusiasts and spans a wide spectrum of types. Thank you.
I have a real Marlin 1895 in 4570 and it’s perfect the way it is.
A Beautiful rifle, and Excellent video. Thank you.
Excellent thank you 👍
Great how to. Stumbled in a few areas, but that was me, not the video. Thanks!
I have that kit on my gbl and it makes a difference target shooting haven’t hunted yet with it but I would love to get the lever wwg makes as well
I *LOVE* my Marlins!!! 39A, 16” 336Y Spikehorn 30/30, 16” 1894 LTD 45 Colt, 1895 XLR’s in 450, 30/30 & 410 😎 They all have WWG kits in them except the 39A and I reworked that down to 1.5 lbs. If you got em hang onto them! WWG triggers are fantastic 👊🏻 Great DIY video 🍻
beatutiful gun, awesome replacements! thanks for all explanation.
Great Review!!! Thank you!!
Stunning Rifle ❤️Great blog As Always Harley ❤️💯
Great video thanks again
Beautiful rifle !
I have a new Ruger/ Marlin 1895 45/70 and I put the Happy trigger kit in, The ejector makes the action a little stiff at first, After working the action about 200 times it seems smoother, It shoots fine and ejects good, I may put the factory ejector back in, I do like the trigger, About a 3.5 lb pull vs the factory pull of about 5.5
The trigger also doesn’t have the Marlin Trigger wobble any more , Great gun
The Remington made Marlins have a trigger pull of 4 lbs. 10oz. This is 11 oz. lighter than Ruger Marlin triggers? If Ruger is so great at making firearms, even Marlin lever guns, then what happened to the triggers that they are so heavy now compared to a Remington made Marlin?
If you get a Ranger point precision trigger/sear, that alone made mine break just below 2.5lbs.
Why would you replace the Mayodan made ejector? There is nothing wrong with the factory part?
i ve been thinking about getting this as my Sau killer
I would taken the time to check all the sear surfaces n such, for any roughness, and run a stone across them to enhance the smoothness of the action, while I had it broken down. I noticed a bit of a hitch while cooking, surely that could be smoother!
Thanks for sharing. God bless and stay safe.
Holy crap! Is that a mlok handguard on a lever action??!!!...THAT'S AWESOME!!! I thought I was the only gun degenerate that thought of doing something like that! I didnt even know that was actually a possibility! Beautiful gun Brother...when I grow up I wanna get a .44mag Henry lever action and Steve McQueens Mare's leg from wanted dead or alive. Great video bro.
Nice vid thanks. BTW the wishbone you removed isn't "pop metal."
Looks BAD ASS! All of it.. Great detailed video. Keep em coming
Nice video and beauty of a gun ....greetings from Belgium
Thanks for the video ...
That's a beautiful rifle. It's a perfect balance between old and new.
Yes sir!
You may want to check out your Ruger made Marlin 1895 for bolt clearance and the hammer. A few of them have 0 clearance while racking the lever.
Has there been durability testing/cycling of the improved ejector to show it does not fatigue and is in fact an improvement?
Just bought the new Marlin Ruger 1895 Trooper and wonder if this kit fits the new gun?
The Ruger made Marlins are do have a pot metal ejector from what I've heard?
I have had an ejector break on a JM 336 30-30 with mild loads but my 45=70 has been fine. Maybe should pick another one just in case
Just put the "bear proof" ejector in. The spring broke, and it was never timed right to begin with. The new one works flawlessly.
Soon as I can find one for the right price one these rifles will be my next purchase
I can’t understand how it is “not practical,” anymore. It was made for hunting or plinking, doesn’t it still do that? As long as it still does it’s job it’s practical in my opinion.
Will this kit fit a new Ruger made Marlin 1895 SBL?
When I separated my stock from the trigger assembly two small clear like plastics came flying out. Do you know where they go?
I agree that a Remington made 1895 CB 45-70 needs nothing to be added to it. You can shoot 10 boxes of HSM 430 grain +p ammo out of a Remington made Marlin with the extractor it comes with in the box and no problem! I think the Wild West parts are superb, just saying if you don’t have money to upgrade right now don’t feel like you have a sub standard lever gun because you don’t.
I've got a Remington made 1895 SBL that cannot chamber two rounds in succession. I replaced the plastic follower with an aluminum follower and it doesn't really seem to help. It doesn't matter if I am using Hornady FTX ammo or Remington 405gr flat nose.
I’m having issues installing the ejector, when I sit it down in the hole and try to slide the bolt in it won’t fit. But once I use the old ejector in it fits fine. Anyone else have this issue?
So you halved the trigger pull weight without changing springs? This was achieved with just a different interface between the trigger and hammer?
I’d love to know how hot loads will break the ejector.
Nice gun!!!
Mine is my Colt Anaconda, I love that gun.
Really like your videos man! Question for you on your Marlin 45-70...how do you like just having the red dot as an optic choice rather than a LVPO (1x4/1x6)? I'm torn on what I want to add to the pic rail but am thinking just a red dot considering I'll normally only be shooting 75-100 yards due to caliber size and use case (hog/predator) and don't really see a need for a scope at those ranges. I'd appreciate your thoughts/feedback. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
I went with midwest industries handguard just like in the video and use a Vortex viper pst gen 2 1x6x24 LPVO and I love it (because old eyes) it came with skinner trapper peep sights but I never was able to figure out where it was hitting at the range but now using Hornady leverevolution 325gr FTX ammo, it is grouping awesome at 100yds.
I love my JM Marlin 1895 guns. Yes, they thump with a good load. For deer hunting - deer drop where standing at the shot. Perfect. Very little damage to meat.
Try some dangerous game loads from Buffalo Bore, Garrett, or Corbon. They are quite powerful and are designed to kill brown bears. They will penetrate heavy hide, muscle, and skull. They will penetrate a grizzly from head to tail.
You don't need ANY of this stuff for the new Ruger made Marlins. Everything is perfect from the factory, including a harder plastic Magazine Follower. I have both the new SBL and Trapper and both are perfect from the factory.
I just got the Trapper and it's my current fave because it's perfect out of the box
The Remington made Marlins after they got rid of the crappy JM parts that were left over, re- engineered all the Marlin parts for all models, set up on tight tolerance machining on brand new CNC machines, starting in 2016 Remington made the best Marlin lever guns ever! Remington made the Marlin dark series, beautiful 1895 lever guns. They put the plastic Henry X models to shame! Do you really think a world renowned firearm maker like Remington would make anything but superb Marlin lever guns? Of course not! All those false rumors are just that false negative rumors from JM fan club members. They can have their weak chambered JM’s!
I just recieved my Ruger Marlin 1895 GBL
The only thing I changed was the front and rear sights with a Williams Fiber Optic set. I could not find the skinny front sight in daylight conditions. Now it’s 100% better. I’m not changing anything on this gun for now
My new Trapper is very good, but the trigger pull sucks.
Will the Wild West ejector kick the empty brass out further?
Does this work for the 336?
Now buff the searing surface to a mirror shine. Coat with moly paste
I’d like to take mine (when I can finally find one) and send it to them. Only $2k or so. ....or maybe this kit is the way to go!
Is the rifle same length as a hogleg?
I've been looking for that rifle to pick up and can't seem to find one
They're tough right now, and if you do find them, I hear they're going for around $1,300 now.
Had to watch this again. I'm a big Ruger and Henry fanboy, but I believe Ruger will bring back Marlin to it's glory day's. I wouldn't buy a Marlin for the past 20 year's, everything Remington bought and owned they ruined. I'm backing the new Remington, because I would love an R1 limited and R1 tactical. Which are 15+1 of 45acp, also the RP45 is 15+1. I do believe their is another one.
Every gun should have such a a good video :)
45-70 is a very stable round out past 1000yrds. I have used an 1895 GG for hunting, no scope and never had a range issue around accuracy. Just know your gun and your load. A man with one gun is more capable than a man with all the rest.
Never could understand why all these guys are saying this round is not very good past 100 yards when this is what they used back in the 1800s for hunting .
They aren't reliable at 1000 yards at all. With a 320 grand bullet, you're at about 1200-1250 fps at 300 yards which means your going from supersonic to subsonic between 300 and 400 yards. When a bullet makes this transition, it starts to tumble, making its trajectory impossible to predict. A 45-70 is only reliable to about 300 yards (+- depending on the round), and with 1080 ft-lbs of energy at 300 yards, it's only really suitable for medium game at that range. Only really effective 0-200 yards, especially for hunting.
@@babagum769 I don’t think I suggesting 1000 yards , there are guys out there loading their own rounds with longer barrels achieving 700 yards . It’s definitely not something I would take into long distance comp , however I was mostly referencing back in the day this round was their go to and they were taking game out past 300 . IMO it’s todays barrel length that is limiting it .
@@frankammirati3385 OP claimed 1000 yards. 45-70 was a blackpowder cartridge back in the day which lost its popularity after rifle calibers like 30-06 came around. There's no way in hell that anyone was taking down anything larger than a rabbit at 300 yards and no way in hell they were doing that reliably. With modern cartridges, at 0-100 yards, they're capable of taking down pretty much anything on this planet. With modern bullets, they only have about 1080 ft-lbs of energy at 300 yards so only suitable for medium game. There is no doubt that they were used a ton in the 1800s for hunting but they weren't shooting 300 yards with black powder. 100 yards would have been a long shot for them to take.
@@babagum769 exactly. I honestly think that @hansonmcbride meant to type 100 yards and not 1,000 yards.
No one is hitting anything with 45-70 out to 1,000 yards. And if you manage to hit it, it's probably going to bounce off
I want this carbine
Man that thing is beautiful
Can someone explain all of the comments assuming this rifle was made in Mayodan, NC? That is where Ruger built a new factory for Marlin production. This is a Remington Marlin made in Illion, NY. You can tell by the bar code BS on the left side of the receiver.
There is no reason to replace the ejector on a Mayodan made Marlin. Also the Ranger Point Precision replacement trigger doesn’t fit the new Marlins according to RPP so I would wait until WWGW updates their parts.
I was wondering this….. i just received the new marlin…. The trigger seemed pretty good to me….. didn’t notice if the follower was plastic but I’ll take another look !! Good video on the breakdown !!
Love this breakdown and aftermarket upgrade parts installation. I can't find this rifle anywhere. Does anyone have info on which distributor or dealer network has these in stock ?
Good luck bud, they’re hard to find right now. When ruger did their first run reintroducing these rifles a few months back the msrp was $1399. IF you can find one now they’re typically 2-2200. Better off searching for an older JM version. If you do find some let me know!
The trapper version (different sights, black stock, 16.5” barrel) is more available and quite a bit more affordable at the moment. Still not MSRP but a lot closer.
I'm having alot of difficulty with my round moving from the tube to the chamber and the lever sticks any ideas on what I can do it cleaned it thoroughly and broken it down countless times with no change help if you can
Same problem here. My 1895 Dark 45-70 has been a jam-o-matic since I purchased it in 2019. It’s been disassembled, deburred, had over 150 rounds run through it, magazine spring is correct and all of the screws are tight and nothing has fixed the issue. It won’t run a single clean magazine with any ammo or different bullet shapes that I’ve tried. And now that Ruger took over they said they won’t touch it.
Maybe oil it lol
I already lubed her down real good bud turns out I had to replace the loading gate working good now
@@minifrogmansam was just messing with you man just thought I’d say it bc I was watch the video while I was responding and seen this guy not put a single drop of lube lmao made me cringe a little 😂 but glad to hear it’s work good now man lever gun gang all the way 💪💪
@@bryant8465 I figured that as well haha. Also I’ve had the same issue but I’m pretty meticulous when it comes to cleaning and lubricating my guns, except for a couple AR and AK style rifles that I’ve been endurance testing in various climate conditions…you know, for science haha. Pretty much everything stays very clean and appropriately oiled except for rifles that get carried daily and used frequently, I like to know what they will take before they start slowing down, for most it turns out they will take an awful lot. I still tear them down and go through them whenever they need it and I’ve always got a backup. I’d really like to get the gremlins out of my 1895 though because I love the rifle it’s just not reliably where I want it yet.
Is this Wild West lever
Practical today....? YES it's very practical. the rifle it's self is legal in all 50 states, the 45.70 cartridge will knock anything down with 1 hit, it's very user friendly, and when adding a magnified optic and a trigger upgrade the accuracy increases by a good margin!
Another bonus for being straight wall for wonky states that have laws against hunting with bottlenecked cartridges.
I have never broken an ejector in a marlin.
So much want
1:18
Wat? The spring breaks, and it has 0 to do with the ammunition. The factory ejector was machined from stainless and the spring formed from spring stock.
Edit: is this a Remington abortion? You're right about that ejector being mim, where the Marlin was not, at least none I've seen. Still, the spring is what breaks.
I always use Bore snakes for cleaning my barrel. I don’t trust cleaning rods and brushes as they can easily scratch the inner bore of your barrel. This is impossible with a bore snake. Just drop it through the action and pull out the muzzle a few times and you are done. I usually spray some Ballistol oil on the brushes part of the snake the first and second time through, and the third time spray a little Ballistol on the end of the bore snake. The cleaning is perfect this way!!
If it aint broke don't fix it.I have an old 95 Marlin that has never failed me and it's 40 years old plus the extractor is not made from pot metal.
Indeed... in my experience with more customer's Marlins than I can count, about the only thing a Marlin typically needs is some smoothing in a few choice areas, and they benefit greatly from taking some of the insane factory tension out of the springs. Other than that, you can run them fairly dry, and they'll fail to close or chamber due to years of carbon build-up long before they'll break.
Midwest Industries handguard 👍 I have it on my GBL
My 2016 - 2017 Remington made Marlin 1895 CB 45-70 lever gun has a trigger pull of 4 lbs. 5 oz. What happened Ruger?
Is a bolt action rifle more reliable than a lever action rifle?
Probably slightly. Just fewer moving parts
@@HarleyWood23 Would you take a lever action rifle or a bolt action rifle for self defense against Grizzly bears?. Not hunting only self defense
I would take a lever action in 45-70. That cartridge is much better at penetrating brush than traditional rifle calibers. If you really wanna do it right, get a CMMG MKW in 458 Socom. That’s 10 rounds of amazing power in a semi-auto platform. cmmg.com/458-socom
Cant find the trigger anywhere
Ranger Point Precision, has the trigger and in different colors.
thought you were going to clean ,,clean fro breach
That was a Hella hard swallow at 3:14 🤣. Sorry it just was all up in my ear. Great video though, I just went with Ranger point precision trigger/sear and Beartooth mercantile brass follower on my new Ruger made Marlin 1895 trapper. They are never finished projects just like old hotrod cars 🤙
When you buy a rifle, you should know what you want to do with it. Unless you are hunting bear, water Buffalo, moose, or elk in the cascades, 45-70 is overkill. I have, and love, a Marlin 1895gbl I use for self defense while riding horses or camping in bear country. I'm not shooting more than 100', maybe 200', well within effective range of a Govt 45-70 round. Good choice on the Wild West upgrades. One of the first upgrades I made.
I shoot chickens with mine.
I deer hunt and black bear hunt with a 4570...and In no way has it ever ben overkill
I love 45-70 as a deer gun. Puts them down. Extremely minimal meat damage and I'm not sure there's a more ethical kill to be had.
Have you ever seen the size of a 1 ounce 12 Guage deer slug? Here in IL thats what tens of thousands of deer are harvested with every year.. Much bigger than a 45-70 round...
@@johnnyboyyo a good old 12 guage 1 once foster slig has probably killed millions of deer it it's time...and with all the shotgun only zones across the US it will continue to kill deer for many years to come.....and seeing how on paper a 20 guage sabot slug and the average 4570 of the shelf load are pretty close....this guy's math would mean a 12 guage slug of any kind would basicly blow cape Buffalo and moose right in half or something
Why only Ruger Marlins....Why not a Moruko Winchester 45-70 1886....
this one is a remington not a ruger, but i agree the 1886 is a better gun
@@MAGA2024. I totally disagree
Why is this kit $170 ?
$110 for the Trigger
$40 for the Follower
$40 for the Ejector
then there is a discount on getting the kit. At least that's the way my receipt read when I opened the package a few minutes ago.
will that rifle take 45 90 bullets
You can rechamber to 45-90 but you can't load the rounds into the mag single shot only
Nothing says “I don’t have a clue what I’m talking about” quite like the usage of the term “pot metal”. Yeah, they’re making the ejectors out of recycled scrapyard metal soup…good one.
Usually pot metal refers to a zinc alloy.
I had their ejector in my Marlin 1895 Trapper and it was absolute junk. It would barely eject the cases and the action was hard as HELL to work. Hard pass on their products.
Sorry to hear that. Thanks for watching.
DO NOT DO THIS TO YOUR MARLIN!!! For the most part, these WWG items are problematic solutions to problems that don't exist, or can be easily fixed for little effort and much less money. The WWG ejector in particular is absolutely fricken horrid... it puts way too much side force on the left of the bolt, causing premature wear in the ejector slot of the bolt, and right side (ejection port side) of the bolt and frame. I have seen this personally when properly tuning 336/1895 variants where the WWG ejector had been previously installed. I've been a competitive cowboy gun shooter for over 20 years... lever action silhouette where hotter loads are used, and cowboy action with lighter loads. I've never seen a Marlin ejector break on the firing line... broken firing pins?... yep, firing pin springs... yep, carrier plunger buttons... yep, but ejectors?... never. Yes, the factory magazine follower is slick plastic, as such it glides easily in the mag tube, and over the nose of the carrier during empty-tube cycling. I can't imagine a firearms designer thinking aluminum, which is more likely to gall and grab over time, would be a better solution. Stainless?... maybe, aluminum?... hard no. I've been inside hundreds of marlin lever actions... once again, I've never seen a plastic factory follower that's been broken or worn through. The WWG trigger will lighten the pull... however, you've got to take the action apart anyway to install it. Why not just disassemble the action, take some of the ridiculous tension out of the factory trigger return/lever safety spring, and lightly take the rough edges off the factory hammer and sear with a bit of fine emery cloth? while you're at it, install a reasonable reduced-power mainspring for $10. You'd be amazed at how much just those 3 things will help trigger pull, keep the rifle reliable even in extreme environments, and reduce wear. If you really want to add reliabilty, install a one-piece firing pin available from several online sites (don't want to name anybody and get accused of pimpin' their products). But, whatever you do, DON'T put the WWG ejector in... If you put alot of rounds through your rifle it certainly can permanently jack things up!
The factory JM ejectors were sketchy at best. They would often allow the forward most part to project into the path of the extracted case, and tie the action up.
I have no faith Remington did anything better. I *would* and will, try a Ruger Marlin to see what they've done. But for now, the wwg ejectors are gtg.
Shush child.
The Remington made 1895 CB 45-70 is one of the most excellent Marlin lever guns ever made as far as I am concerned. People do not know that the so called Remlins were J.M. Marlin parts inherited by Remington after the buyout, and assembled by former J.M.Marlin workers. I believe what ever year mine is it was one that was all Remington. Super accurate. Aim at the bullseye at 50 yards and bullseye is what you get. This was how it was out of the box. Of course the lever action was a little stiff because Remington made their Marlin lever guns using close tolerance CNC machines. After around 100 rounds my Remington Marlin was just right. The wood to metal finish is perfect, the American Black Walnut stocks are beautiful, the finish superb!! It functions flawlessly!! No function flaws after 500 rounds. The Remington factory Trigger pull is 4 lbs. 5 oz. and I think this trigger pull weight is right where you want it to be!! Remington made mine, and I could never think that I could own a better Marlin 1895 CB 45-70 lever gun. I only paid $630 dollars retail. This was just a few years ago, brand new!! Compare that with the rip off prices Ruger is charging for theirs!! $1,200 to $1,300.
My Remington Marlin has the 18.5 inch barrel and 6+1 rounds. It was called the CB 45-70 in 2016;when it was produced in Illion N.Y.
After this they changed the 18.5” barrel to the Marlin 1895 CBA 45-70 standing for Cowboy Action Model. The 26” barrel remained the 1895 CB 45-70. The SBL is beautiful but I prefer the American Black Walnut.
@@kevinrollman3101every single one of them I’ve held is garbage. Super loose tolerances. Ruger makes a better product than Remington or Marlin ever did
I ordered this WWG kit on a backorder, thinking it was the way to go to drop the heavier than desired 6lb trigger on my RM 1895. While waiting for it to come, l cleaned up the hammer and sear engagement along with the installation of a Wolf reduced power hammer spring. The net result after firing 20 rounds is a 3lb 8oz trigger that feels perfect and so far goes bang consistently. I'm going to continue shooting it in this configuration so long as it doesn't have any light strikes. I may not need this kit, but that's life. Live and learn. 😊
These should not need a new extractor. I mean they are $1,000 gun. Quality should be there already. Too bad it’s not.
So true
I just can't stand that big ear that hangs off the receiver... Goes to show just how incredible john browning really was with the design of the model 94
Wish they made it in 357
the marlin 1894 is in .357
You removed old extractor and never installed new?!🤨
He definitely installed the new one lol 11:37
Perfect is in the hands of the shooter. Do what you want with your gun. People always complain about what people do with they gun they don’t own. Set up your firearm for you. If the gun kicks just not the right one for you.
That expanded metal is sacrilege! Butt ugly!
I'm thinking about getting a tactical rail and a green laser for my .50 cal Hawken muzzle loader !!!!!!!
That handguard on a lever rifle is dumb, but you do you !
I have one. I have night vision. I need to attach IR lasers. Now I can shoot fast and accurately in the dark..increasing capability is never dumb.
How is it not practical? Thanks for telling me not to bother to keep watching
If you pulled that out of your scabbard in 1896 your horse would laugh at you and pee himself
OMG that is one ugly thing! Anyone appreciate elegance of design anymore?
Why did you waste your time taking that peace of shit hand guard off just take the plug out of the end and slide the follower out. Plus why replace the factory trigger, I got my trigger down to just under 1 pound with a bit of tinkering around.
I'll bet *that's* drop safe.
"Bruh, I don't plan on dropping it"
That's ugly
what a ugly gun
I don't blame the guy. We've been brainwashed by the accessory companies. I blame Tapco who drove the cart into the ditch ,but yeah that's not pretty.
These "tactical" handguards ruin the look of these rifles. I think it's similar to what you see on AR's where people attach a million things to it just because they can. These things add nothing to the function of the rifle. I have one of the new SBL's and I would never disgrace it by putting such an abomination on the front of it.
@@tortol4847
Hey, they are good for attaching a flashlight and a cartridge quiver for some extra rounds on the gun. Same concept as a shotgun's side saddle. I'd say a light is very important if you want to use it for home defense. If you live in a commie state, a lever gun is a good home defense choice. Hell, it's a good choice regardless of your state's laws. Maybe not in 45-70, but a 30-30 would be ideal power wise.
what an ugly comment
If Marlin made that in a 30-30, I'd buy one.
they do
Just saw one in WA state
Almost bought it. I waited 2 years for my 45/70. It matches the one I bought
@mattlord2906 I see Marlin/Ruger just recently released the 336, and I've been searching for the trapper model with 16" barrel, and it seems to be out of stock everywhere.
@jeffreyflick4501 the trapper is a unicorn. Only Hickok45 has one
