Anybody know anything about these? It's a new production Marlin which Turnbull gets and removes the safety, installs a "Trigger Happy Kit", gives it Turnbull color case hardening and refinishes the wood to look like original Marlin's. It looks like an extremely beautiful rifle but from what I've read regular new production Marlin's are not exactly the most trusted products on the market. I'm wondering if Turnbull goes to any effort to make sure potential issues are corrected besides what they state in their list of improvements. Is this going to be a well functioning rifle out of the box as it comes from Turnbull?

OH CUMMON!!! ENOUGH ALREADY!!! Just zactly howz anybody suppose to answer all your question?? Since, apparently, nobody has actually laid out the folding money to get one?? First need somebody to buy one.
OK. I'll do it. Somebody send me the folding money and then I'll buy the rifle and make a report. OK?? That should work. RIGHT??

PS: Fergot. "BROW" or Buffalo Rifles of the OLD WEST. Aumn, by 1895 weren't most ALL the Bison ....... gone?? Like, nothing to shoot at?? Being Snarky and all that on a Friday??
Well maybe by me posting it somebody will see it and have to buy one, lol. Then they can tell me how it is, lol. I won't be buying one anytime soon because I just bought a Pedersoli Lightning .44-40 but I expect I'll need a big bore rifle eventually. I was thinking Rolling Block or 1886 but this thing is now a contender as well.
That ..."Turnbull Finished Marlin 1895CB Made to Order $1,500.00" seem a reasonable maybe even bargain priced.
It is certainly a head turner , and if you chose the 1895 (45/70) it's $1300 and that is steal !
Wonder, what they'd charge for a 1894 ?

Beautiful rifle, but it does not look anything like the original.

Well, I don't think he's going to go as far as making it into a "square bolt" from a round one. I noticed it also still has the fat forend wood, after the refinishing.
