Marlin Firearms 1895 Trapr 45-70 16.5" Threaded Barrel Rifle

The Marlin 1895 Trapper 45-70 Government with 16.5" threaded barrel is a compact lever-action rifle engineered for hunters and riflemen who demand maximum stopping power in a maneuverable platform. Built on the proven 1895 action, this Trapper configuration sacrifices minimal effective range while gaining decisive handling advantages in thick cover, vehicle transport, and close-to-mid-range engagements where the legendary 45-70 Government round excels.

The 16.5" barrel is threaded at 11/16x24" pattern, enabling suppressor installation or muzzle device attachment without compromising the rifle's compact 44" overall length. The black laminate stock and forend provide environmental resistance and durability across varying field conditions. Satin finish metal surfaces resist corrosion while maintaining a professional appearance. The rifle cycles five rounds of 45-70 ammunition and features adjustable Skinner sights—a proven open-sight system trusted for its speed and reliability in rapid-fire scenarios. A crossbolt safety delivers positive engagement and quick disengagement. The large loop lever accommodates gloved operation and heavy winter clothing, critical for backcountry and cold-weather hunting.

The 45-70 Government cartridge delivers 300+ grain bullets at velocity sufficient for medium to large game at practical hunting distances, with energy retention superior to modern rifle rounds in dense vegetation. This Trapper model appeals to hunters working brushy terrain, guides managing remote operations, and enthusiasts valuing the lever-action platform's speed of successive shots. The threaded barrel opens customization options for sound reduction without sacrificing the iconic lever-action silhouette. Weighing 9.06 lbs, the rifle remains manageable for extended field carry while maintaining the mass necessary for reliable 45-70 recoil management.
