Marlin 1895G lever-action rifle, serial MR25541D, built in 2013 and chambered in .45-70 Government with an 18.5-inch barrel. The magazine holds six rounds plus one in the chamber, the lever is the big-loop style, and the receiver is tapped for a scope mount. Condition is good overall: the blued receiver shows some surface rust and handling marks, while the wood furniture and the bore are both excellent.

This is a working Guide Gun for a hunter who wants a hard-hitting short rifle for thick cover and does not mind honest wear on the receiver. The .45-70 is legal for deer in most states that allow centerfire rifles and carries enough weight for elk where the state's rules permit. The big-loop lever works with gloves on, and the tapped receiver lets you mount a low-power optic. It is a rifle in working condition, not a safe queen.
