Marlin 1895 STP "Trapper" .45-70

[harriet807]

Wow, the action looks very smooth on this gun. Between my Henry .44 and my uncles 336c, the Henry is smoother, but man I would love to check this out.

[OVERKILL173]

Hi hickok45 love the vids keep them up. I just brought a 336ss in 30.30 and was wondering which sights do you prefer between the skinner and the XS its a tought choice but im leaning more towards the skinner express in stainless ?

P.S. i think the 40/70 made it to next gun on the list lol

[Morepullups]

Sir, will you please shoot some 525 grain pile-driver bullets out of your Marlin 45/70? Would love to see it!

[TheBlitz1]

I absolutely agree about the full length magazine. Besides, guns look better with a full mag.

[HadjiVip]

This looks like a beautiful gun to own! I wish I could find one, I settled for the GBL instead, which is the same gun but not in stainless. You should check it out, the GBL hold 6 in the tube. I have a video of mine if you're interested in seeing it.

[HadjiVip]

@HadjiVip Actually I was wrong, the GBL is 18inches, the stp is around 16.

[Grizzy2011]

LETS GO!!.as some one who is 7foot its good to see normal size people like ourselves every once in a while!

[Morepullups]

Im buying one! :D The one Im looking is blued :)

[FlourescentPotato]

@Mrpracticaltactical I'm a liberal and love guns.

[SamHagagaga]

@FlourescentPotato So am I.

[FlourescentPotato]

@SamHagagaga Heh, we should unite... Damn, I can't believe how funny that is, and in so many ways.

[MConelove]

I know its a .45-70 govt, but would it hold a .45 colt?

[VicariousReality7]

I freakin loved my 1895g, but i sold it because the stock cracked and the action was weaker than i thougt

[CleanTheWookie]

Mitch Hedberg: "Every gun is a little gun if Hickok45 is shooting it!"

[dutchmaster357]

The slow motion at the end was pretty awesome, although it must be a chore cleaning up the range of shooting 

[xXCREEKSTARXx]

@Mrpracticaltactical

There are a lot of things, loooots of people dislike about americans wielding weapons around, from loooots of Countrys XD

Hickok is doing everything right, he also screws around, but with alot of safety :D

[513Scotchpagan]

id give a finger to own this rifle.

[RSprtn117]

@513Scotchpagan Be sure its not your trigger finger lol.

[harriet807]

@513Scotchpagan So your finger is worth 500 dollars.

[sarvove]

LOL With all the soda you shoot it's no wonder the range is so nice and green and saves you having to hose the garden. i need to set up a range over my vege patch looks like a fun way to water the garden

[xXCREEKSTARXx]

@sarvove

Dont you tihnk all the lead in the ground is doing a reverse effect? :D

[sarvove]

hi all

[m145634]

I really do want to meet and just have a conversation with the people who disliked this video. I know they would be so fundamentally different from me that it would be a conversation I wouldn't forget.

[kingd3001]

if god were a firearm maker this rifle would his gift to the earth

[mustang451000]

36"

[hepathos94]

what a neat little rifle :D i love 45-70 i have shot with marlins but it had a longer barrel than this rifle and with a really hot load! for wildboar hunting but as i said neat gun and a very good video

thanks hickok45 i learn more and more about guns for every time i look at your videos keep that lead flying :)

[cdpbvpnc]

Hey hickock what a bunch of good vídeos you've done, it's a real shame here at my country we can't own decent fire arms...keep going.... hello from mexico.

[MaistrePathelin]

Funny is that you can forget how many inches there are in a yard, whereas with metric system, it's quite easy to 'remember'... Sad thing for me now is that I have now idea how long 34 inches are (and I'm too lazy to look it up). So to make a long story short: adopt the metric system, USA! Pwetty please? :-)

[rix2cents]

That's a BEAST! I have a custom 1895 cut down to guide gun length (18" I think), peep sights, John Wayne lever and full length mag but that thing is SWEET. Mostly blast Hornady LeveRevolution's out of it.

Peep sights would be a nice addition on that monster. Perfect for wabbit hunting.

BTW.... I think you broke that turkey's frickin neck. LOL

[mr450marlin]

i got one in 308 love it

[kumquatsta]

what a perfect fusion of old and new. such a gorgeous rifle. thanks for sharing it with us.

[Brotherogre]

you're 6' 8"? wow

[ElConesaToLoco]

Beautifull gun.

[aardappelpitsap]

Just a question: How is it possible to get a powerfull spring mechanism in that magazine if the bullets reach the very end of it. If you use powerfull spring the last 1 or 2 bullets are very hard to load? And if you use a weak spring the gun may jam due to magazine feeding problems? Im not trying to diss you here im just interested and you seem to know alot about rifles.

[aardappelpitsap]

@aardappelpitsap Oke fucking hell im stupid i forgot its lever action im sorry.

[richardelam100]

"Laminate Tree"! hahaha That's funny. Laminate is a fancy way of saying Pretty Plywood. I have a few rifles with laminate stocks. Seems like they'd be cheaper...but...who knows... Very impressed with the 45-70-450 cartridge. Wish I had something to fire them. Great videos.

Jesus is coming soon.

comparable to a 7.62 x 58?

[Mrpracticaltactical]

I just bought the 1895gbl guide gun today at the gunshow. Large loop, extended magazine, blued, brown laminated stock. I've been after one of these ever since I watched hickock45 shoot the ported barrel 45-70 last year. I sold my AK to get it and am very excited to pick it up on Thursday. Thanks Hickock for introducing me to the 45-70! Life is good.

[dung159]

Where do you keep all your guns?

[bajnaj73]

Are these cowboy rounds or modern rounds you load?

[Starsword333]

Hickok45, you are one of the best gun video people on YouTube. It's a lot of fun to watch you blast all those different targets with whatever gun you're reviewing. Your videos are pretty long, like Nutnfancy's, but unlike him you have a very soothing, pleasant manner instead of a panicked, vexing one. You've always got lots of things to say about your guns, but none of it is filler. Bless you, and your cinematographer too.

[TehAwesomishdude]

45-70 Gv't

[BigRod10x]

I'd like to buy that STP from you. Contact me and I'll make you an offer.

[300UMLRH]

Any idea of the velocity you are getting out of them 405gr slugs?

[dhuckle96]

how comfortable would you be take down a elk with a 45-70

[305ssmonte]

Great looking rifle.Do you know why shotguns can only go down to 18 inches vs 16 inches for rifles?

[Calum041095]

@305ssmonte Because of governments narrow mindedness. They see in movies that sawn of shotguns are depicted as evil and lethal, therefore they make them more difficult to conceal. In reality, I'd rather be getting shot at by a small shotgun opposed to a small 45-70.

[305ssmonte]

@Calum041095 Thanks for your reply and info.

[mcmikeblues]

Just shot this. it came with some peeps though. soooo fun

[thedoubledeus]

i like how the goat just drops instantly with 45-70 while it normally dont want to fall

[bclskateteam45]

hickock is so cool i dont even care he doesnt know how many inches are in a yard

[SlingSalsa]

push ya? lol them hornadays i was shooting in my 1895ss told me i need a decelerator pad, hard polymer aint much of a recoil pad. I love that rifle though, it my "Zombie sniper" and occasional elk gun.

[dukedevils22]

wow that barrel is mad short...must be hella loud! and lever action will never get old to watch!

[ChrisPenta]

I can really tell when you are having fun. You really had fun with that one.

[BUCKrub91]

ive been looking at the marlin 1895 gbl as a hunting rifle recently.. my main concern is it seems over kill for deer but if I piss off a bear i cant have a round big enough

[lavoiejp74]

Nice! can you shoot black powder loads with it?

[FrozenKoolAidDude]

6'8"?! You're 3/4 a foot taller than my dad, and he's nearly 3/4 of a foot taller than me! Seriously, you're a giant.

[jedimajic]

Very cool firearm !!! I want one too !

[prozcrito]

Anybody know where to find an 1895 STP? Great review Mr. Hickok45. You are the "Bob Ross" of firearms!!!

[shawnmd]

6'8...... I had no idea, I myself am 6'7 and just by looking at him next to things I didn't have the slightest clue he was that tall.

[Robbaz]

Western zombie rifle.

[DystruktoBoi1]

Dude, he said he was 6'8" in this video, hes a giant! lol I had no idea Hickok45 was so tall.

[jccarter994]

How much did that stp cost?? And i wasnt kidding when I asked where I could get one...if you know of any for sale, please let me know

[MissyMarieN]

@jccarter994 they pop up on gunbrokercom occasionally. Usually they're right around 900 - 1000 dollars US.

[MrGarryButler]

This is fantastic. Don't know if it is legal here in Australia, but would be a lot of fun to shoot. Love the videos.

[hickok45]

@Mikelauder2009, Sorry, you need to "get lost." We don't tolerate bigotry of any kind here on this channel, or any thinly veiled attempts to start some up. You'll need to go practice racism elsewhere.

[airsoftawesomeness]

@hickok45 where do you live? im just curious... because it sure looks fun to be there! wish i had somewhere like that

[jccarter994]

Where can I get an STP? since i seen this video ive been looking for one but cant find it anywhere...by the way nice review, but then again you've got the best gun reviews on youtube.

[FraserMGZR]

thats the nicest gun ever ......

[MsWolfsfantasystudio]

Nice gun, I own the Marlin 1895 model that I bought 15 years ago.. 45-70s don't kick as hard as some may think..

Don't shoot it as much as I used to because of cost.. I will just sit on the ammo I have left just in case of emergency..

[reyesorozco]

Your height is 6'8? O:

Back on topic, that is a beautiful Marlin :)

[CygnusTheIronDream]

That is an absolutely beautiful firearm.

[JackedLobster]

I keep watching this video every couple days becaues it's unhealthy how much I covet it... lol.

[Rick2Max]

Could you do a video with all of your 45 cal long and short guns

[fomogo]

Hickok, great to see you posting a vid on this great little rifle.

I love mine, it is my favorite rifle to take to the range... or actually anywhere else.

I read about you grabbing it on Marlin Owners, and have been waiting hungrily for the video I KNEW would be coming.

Now I need to reload a few rounds for it.

Many thanks for this vid.

[HeinzVonHans]

I am the unfortunate owner of an 1873 Springfield Trapdoor that had its barrel lopped off to 16 5/8". So I might have you beat, Hickok.

If I get the muzzle crowned properly and have it checked out, I might start making a dent in my stockpile of old 500 grain rounds.

[BALJIT147]

that is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life

[ArthurSleep00]

That's rediculously short - the only Trapper I want is the 32" musket Trapdoor carbine. You should see the full length version...

[Tacticalgearhead]

This is my dream rifle

[Rider241Mx]

this guys ready for a zombie outbreak

[NWOxGemKnight]

That is a beautiful gun.

[Robbaz]

I need this for the zombie apocalypse. I want to go out with style and this is the perfect rifle.

[Danil1911]

may i ask how expensive is 45-70?

[JO11YGR33NGIANT]

@Danil1911

Very...at least for me...close to $1 per round

[DanTheVikingr]

Am i the only person who thinks that thing looks like a beautiful, gnarly little sod?

[mixwell1983]

Man I had a nice Marlin chambered for .35 remington that i traded a family member for a colt SAA .22lr but i debate whether or not it was a good trade or not.. It was my grandfather's gun and for sentimental purpose my mother wanted it but the SAA was my great grandfathers so I guess it's a good deal.

[pman910]

you filmed this on my b day and made it allot better!!!

although I was in Disney land!

[pman910]

you filmed this on my b day and made it allot better!!!

although i was in Disney land!

[alnbaba]

little piggy did multiple back flips after getting tagged with the 45/70

[justinRkeaton]

wow! beautiful rifle!! nice hickok

[Loathegrin357]

always wanted a .357 mag lever gun to compliment my revolver collection...really love how the stainless looks there...COOL gun!

[1873Winchester]

That gun could do with a receiver mounted sight indeed, if not just for the extra distance between the front and rear sight it would add.

[Bobeeg]

Another great video.!...Thanks. I see a lot of Marlin lever guns on Bush Planes up in Alaska. They are considered a good size and caliber for a Survival Rifle. One of my favorite (don't own one) is custom built by wildwestguns. A neat little take down package for portable travel. In .457 WW magnum/ 45-70 and .50 Alaskan (both wildcat cartridges). Ouch..!

[SuperGreedyboi]

One word top shot lol... But I'll like to see u on the show

[jaimefbaby]

that thing is gorgeous!

[phantomshtter]

I just found my dream rifle. I'm madly in love with the .45-70 Trapper

[TheBuilderdave]

he should see my beautiful gun

[BJoachinson]

I wonder who he's gonna leave all his guns to in his will...

[ikarma70]

If shooter said they was bored at your place ..they'd need help! lol

thats a really sweet gun you got there :)

[TheMasterd380]

i like that gun my first gun was a 22.lever action thats the only one i have seen that i liked good video

[ldgrey1963]

I like this one (Hell I like them all)... Thanks for the video, you videos are certianly entertaining.

[TheInfotwins]

no way your 6'8

[SADFACE1000]

well ill be. here i was thinking i was tall (6'6), and then i see this here video D:

[ReclusiarchGrimaldus]

That is a purdy gun.

[SpamAccount009]

When even an American patriot doesn't know how many inches there are in a yard, you know it's time for the US to switch to the metric system.

[TOPGUNMPD08]

@SpamAccount009 It is long past time for us to go metric. PS he knows how many inches are in a yard.



[ShawnCorytube]

Haha you just couldn't put it down! Awesome gun man! I love it!

[3roundandfullyauto]

awesome

[StiviGun1]

I can't get enough watching this video. This rifle is so cool. I wish the video was longer.

[machinegun911]

is this the same gun that was in Gun Magzine a couple months back?

[floridafyme]

Laminate wood is simply ply-wood. Marlin would what woods were used.

[Pluralum]

@floridafyme

Obviously there is no tree called laminate, he was being sarcastic.

"Probably a northern tree growing up in Wisconsin"

He is clearly making a joke.

[nosfctech]

I wanted to buy this one for a year or so!!!

[irishScott2]

Mandatory: lol hickok said "package". Haha "package". 

/maturity

[TOPGUNMPD08]

I'm very upset with Marlin. I live in Wisconsin and I'm a avid "tree hugger". Marlin harvested the last know Laminate tree to make your 45-70 Trapper. Marlin should be ashamed as should you for supporting them. LOL!! Keep the great videos and jokes coming.

[mobekk]

@TOPGUNMPD08 How could you call that a joke?

[fnuggie]

@TOPGUNMPD08 It's a tree... If they cut down a forest, i might understand you. But it's one tree.

[the454engine2009]

@TOPGUNMPD08 lol i don't think he cares about a damn tree :S

[hangemhigh2000]

All you need is a dog sled with some traps and your set for life.

[SuperFretShredder]

I got a new 30 - 06 with a little work. It killed my shoulder at the first shot! I didnt realize the back of the stock was 1/2 in" metal plated.. -.-

[pianoguy98]

will a 45-70 kick harder then a 3030

[Jakerem870tac]

@pianoguy98 Rocky VS newborn

[cometomyfrontdoor]

6,8 ?? for real lol

[bobiscool308]

hickok can you do a video shooting with your right eye?

[fire1777]

The Talo version is 44 magnum with real walnut straight style stock. Really nice.

[egsampson1989]

NICE gun! but I do prefer blued steel and redish wood myself. still, nice gun!

[TheEverythangChannel]

why is hickok not in the nba hes 6'8 wow

[adijez]

will it blend?

[ih8youmore]

love my marlins!!

[1911uk]

@tthejtist you tube can you please REMOVE this 'internet warriors ' account he is clearly a moron who has trouble communicating nicely with other human beings ... and I looked at his channel and WOW he has got some rubbish on it .

[midnamechip]

That's a very good looking rifle. I want one

[TheSolitarySojourner]

Doesn't plywood come from the laminate tree?

[nickglotus]

another great vid...... cheers

[K2shadowfax]

One of my favourites! Thanks for sharing.

[Deathless2288]

Beautiful gun, I love lever guns. So classy.

[hopecamel]

compared to a 30-06 in a bolt action wat is the recoil like

[1999z71silverado]

hows the recoil?

[FromTheIslandNapkins]

i stick to Winchester 

[jeffreybateman1]

You can find them for under $800 if you look. Im thinking about getting one. Auction Arms .com

[caiqueortiz1]

ohh mann that gun is sooooo pretty! i hope some day i can find some one of this in Brazil, i thiing thats impossible but...

brazilian fan!

[bdokey2]

Tooontie, go to Wisc. for laminated trees, no glue needed...

[turtle4797]

my favorite gun is a marlin model 336c in 30-30 winchester

[ProtoformX]

Nice. I've got a Octagonal competition barrel Marlin 1894 Custom in .45LC. Fun gun. Can't go wrong with a lever action.

[mrfish1991]

It would also make a great club if you ran out of ammo.

[Subarublue1]

I have a question what is the diffrens between 1895 STP and the 1895 SBL please answear hickok45 or somebody who know´s

[fomogo]

@Subarublue1

The SBL has the XS Sights lever rail with ghost ring sights and instead of the 16.25" barrel, it has an 18.5" barrel.

It also holds one more round in the magazine.

I have the STP, my wife has the SBL.

[Subarublue1]

@fomogo Thanks! I got a sbl yesterday and it´s sweet. The accuracy isn´t so good as i ecpected with ghostring so there will be a scope on it soon. Probobly me aiming bad but i have been hunting for 17 years and never had problems before. when i aiming for a couple of seconds it´s going bad but when i do it quick just up and shot it makes perfect results. But does it take a couple of rounds to go smooth or what? I´m from Sweden so my english isn´t very good so have patience with me.;)

[fomogo]

@Subarublue1

With the ghost ring you have the large rear aperture, and it isnt as precision accurate as a scope or a smaller peep rear sight.

It is for fast first shots on moving or dangerous game.

It should shoot great with a scope.

[mattwg2009]

Did hickok just find a new DZSG?

[michelthegreatable]

1 word. orgasmic

[avgguy47]

Nice little brush gun and great video, Mr. Hickok! Have you ever fired one the "Mare's Leg" lever-action handguns such as made by Henry or Rossi?

[Rodmums]

Great video! I'm thinking of buying a 1895, though im curious about the recoil difference between a short and a longer barrel, say 18½" and 22". Also curious about the effect of a ported versus non-ported barrel.

Greetings from sweden!

[BradenKear]

You know that hickok45 is having fun when he says "boom" after taking a shot

[thelegendbullet937]

6'8"!?! I didn't see that coming!

[acdcgnr100]

can somebody tell me why they switched from lever action to bolt action? From what ive seen lever action is quite a bit faster for the average shooter.

[acdcgnr100]

im 6' and people seem to think im huge. I cant imagine being 6' 8"

[spektr540hemi]

I've got the 1895 SDT...Same rifle but with a straight grip stock.Sweat little rifles.

Mine is one of 501 made and I think your's is the same quantity production run.

Bufflalo Bore has some VERY hot loads!

Realy enjoy your reviews!

[iray89]

Once you said you were 6"8. You got completely bigger in the screen. I assumed you were 5'9".

[ToughOne65]

man...i have always loved lever action rifles...i dont know why but i love them...

[gerberboy0100]

I would put a ghost ring on it because it would basically double your sighting radius!

[xtremearmor]

Now that is a very nice looking rifle. Great video and awesome shooting!
