[TuffHtKingswood]

Cheers for the upload mate! Good summary.

[CanuckleHead1987]

good review!

[perodjetlic]

Why just 4 rounds?

It looks like another round could fit under there.

[ptstory73]

Thanks for the video!!! 

[MrRppd2shrds]

has anybody put a box magazine on one of these? like a 10 round or more?

[sd2257]

nice marlin what's the range of the 45-70 round you shot? i'll look online just thought i'd ask.

[MrHockeynut5]

dude you are Awesome!!!!!!! you put so much work into your videos. THank you!!!!!!

[thedukeofantioch]

i wish i had one of those.

[1unaveragejoe]

@fredhart Great video and gun, thanks! Have you put any black powder loads through it?

[45oneshotstop]

Good video, bud.

[frankward67]

good video, liked the outtakes, trying to decide between this gun and an M1 Garand. decisions decisions. :)

[warrenlikesboats]

The barrel is way to short for my liking, and the barrel aint octagonal. So in my mind, theres no point in owning it if what you want is a traditional western repeater. I'm going to purchase an 1866 Yellow Boy this summer instead.

[warrenlikesboats]

@warrenlikesboats I do like magazine injector on the side though, that is a really cool and ethentic. I dont no which is better though, a 45-70 govt or a 45LC??

[camarokillsstang3]

i love lever actions. they were revoloutionary for there time and are amazing. i have a winchester 30-30 but i wouldnt mind having a marlin or something else

[PrestonBiering]

I just got my grandfathers marlin .450 he bought it and shot it a few times and put it away. He has heart problems and he said it was just too much gun for him. I purchased it off him and started casting and reloading my own bullets from wheel weights and it is probably my favorite gun out of the ones that I own currently.

[KingKoodles]

Very nice rifle! I have the 1895GS, although I wish they had made a stainless version of the "Classic" 1895 first. I would've appreciated the pistol-grip stock, longer barrel, and heavier weight, especially when hand-loading heavier bullets.

[megalizardfreak]

can this shoot 45lc

[TheMrhotcutesexyboy]

I HAVE A QUIESTION CAN THAT 4570 RIFLE SHOOT 500 SMITH AND WESSON CAN YOU PLEASE CHECK IF THE 4570 RIFLE COULD SHOOT 500 SMITH AND WESSON AMMO

[disturbedone5009]

@TheMrhotcutesexyboy

No. You can only shoot ammo the rifle is chambered for in any gun. The .500 S&W won't even chamber in the rifle.

[Speedogg138]

Somebody at my range had a .45-70 shooting next to me. I did not know this, I thought it was a 30-30. So I'm sitting there shooting my M4 and BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! I turned to look at the guy and I said "What the $@(*!" he said, "Yeah, everyone says that." Definitly not a 30-30. xD

[fredhart]

@Speedogg138 I love it when you get that reaction :) 

[Mrjalapenothethird]

@fredhart Just bought the same gun and your right about getting the reaction. I fired it today, pulled it down and kicked the case out and looked up to see guys just standing and watching. Thats what this american classic is all about

[Jaconator23]

sooooo... beautiful

[fredhart]

@Jaconator23 Thank you

[danield113]

Nice video... what is your target made of?

[chilidress]

very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very

beautiful and powerful rifle with nice reloading system

[45187299]

The Marlin lever actions have always ejected to the side. The Winchesters ejected from the top and still do. It's not a matter of age but of manufacture.

[Kylexenogenesis]

@45187299 Marlin's first lever - the 1881, ejected out of the top.

[driedjello]

The ghost ring sights are a necessary upgrade to this phenomenal gun. This is my favorite gun in my collection. Anyone who owns this gun MUST learn to reload it's ammunition.

[curtispa]

what is ur target made out of that pin hole ur talken abt mine has two holes there

[semtech30]

I just got one.

Thanks for the disassembly lesson.

Took it apart to clean as you did.

Man does it shoot nice.

Didn't have to adjust sights much to hit the target center. This was easy also.

No scope, I like the Iron sights.

Used the Hornady ammo 325gr.

It's fast. Has a different kick to it, more like a good shove.

Don't expect to get sore from it.

Good Idea to plug your ears. It's loud.

[ristin59]

Great video, love to get a Marlin lever gun in .38/.357 to match my revolvers.

[fredhart]

@ristin59 That's what the cowboys did way back in the day and still a great idea today!! Thank you very much for stopping by and commenting

[hibob841]

@ristin59 Definitely a good idea. What's interesting is that revolver rounds tend to use relatively slow-burning powders. That's why snubbies make a nice fireball, and you often see wheelguns with 6" or 8" barrels. Even with an 8" pipe, you're wasting energy out of the end of the barrel. Put that same round in a 20" barrel and it will do amazing things--the ballistics are like a totally different round.

[brentwoodthehood]

@ristin59 i got mine .357 mag

[Samael241]

I have the same gun, but without the scope.

It's a fine piece of gunsmithing, im glad to own one! Keep up the good work!

[semtech30]

Thanks for the demo.

covered some good basics.

There are some great antihistamines out there to help your sinus congestion.

Hornaday makes some good ammo now for these guns.

[smelmore]

losing your voice cause you're a geek lol

think i better subsribe

[lookin4memarbles]

The lever action gun was the first gun i ever used hunting! Nice...

[MadBadVoodo]

Five Stars My Friend!

[fredhart]

Thank you my friend!

[BuildMoreFences]

i have several simmons scopes...great quality and value...nice vid...

[fredhart]

The quality of Simmons scopes these days have greatly improved, great deal for the money. Thank you.

[FergusonTO35]

@fredhart I agree, I have a Simmons 2.5X20 on my own 1895 and a 4X32 22 Mag on my Ruger 10/22. They're outstanding scopes for the money, way better than Bushnell or Tasco. I think you'd have buy a Leupold to get anything better.

[bill13442]

That was awesome Fred .Loved the whole vid but your bloopers were FUNNY.That's what these vds are all about keeping it real.Thanks.5/5.

[fredhart]

Thank you.
