Full History:
Original JM series Marlin 1895G .45-70 which I bought as an unfired gun. I had Dove's Custom Guns do a major rework and reconfiguration of the gun. The work includes:
2 piece takedown conversion.
Barrel shortened to 16.5".
Target crown on muzzle.
Rear sight delete and install filler blank.
Completely rework trigger.
Polish and hone action.
Install big loop lever.
Meld and gently relieve any sharp angles / edges externally.
Stock shortened x 3/4".
Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad.
Reshape ('bob') top & bottom ends of recoil pad.
Skinner Alaskan Rear Sight w/Aperture ring.
Skinner Bear Buster Front Sight.
Drilled and tapped for scout scope. Screws installed.
Custom base for scout scope rings.
Green Cerakote action, barrel and magazine tube.
Black Cerakote all other metal.
Custom hand-tooled leather sling by Lever Gun Leather. (New $225)
Custom hand-tooled leather butt cuff/pad w/shell loops by LGL. (New $200)
Soft takedown carry case by Skinner. (New $60)
Pelican 1525 AIR hard case perfect for T-D storage and travel. (New $210)

It's a true one-of-a-kind custom gun and you won't find another one just like it. Compare this gun to a Wild West Co-Pilot and compare prices. I've owned a WW and they're nice but not close to the level of custom on this gun. The condition is 100% on both wood and metal. Bore is perfect. About 50 rounds have been through it. I guarantee it will shoot as accurately as you can hold on target. Leather work is phenomenal on sling and cuff. The soft t-d case is perfectly sized for packing and carrying into the field. The Pelican case is brand new and never used.
Buy the gun which will include the soft case (nothing else) for $4500
Buy the leather sling and cuff separate for $350
Buy the Pelican case separate for $175
Price for the bundle is $4700 AND I will provide you with several boxes (170 factory rounds) of quality ammo and some empty brass.
I can accept several forms of payment including cashier check, cash, PP, Venmo, credit or debit card. Buyer should contact me to discuss payment type before paying. I can be reached via Rokslide PM or my email is [email protected]. Thank you.
