NEW! Marlin 1895 SBL Black Death. Crafted with the spirit of adventure in its bones, this rifle combines classic American workmanship with engraving that transforms steel into a story. At the heart of its design is the receiver, engraved with a seal of the legendary African buffalo against a scenic backdrop. Known throughout the hunting world as "The Black Death," the African buffalo symbolizes raw power, resilience, and an unwavering will to survive. Its legendary reputation serves as the inspiration behind this rifle's name and artwork, honoring one of the most respected and formidable animals on the African continent. Flowing throughout the rifle, detailed scrollwork connects the imagery, unifying the design and elevating the firearm beyond a modern rifle into a true work of art. The 16-inch cold hammer-forged stainless steel threaded barrel, chambered in .45-70 Govt, complements the rifle's refined appearance while delivering the rugged performance expected from a lever-action classic. Every contour and detail is designed with purpose, enhancing both form and function while completing the rifle's cohesive aesthetic. Equipped with a half-cock hammer and a push-button cross-bolt safety, the rifle maintains the dependable performance expected from an American-built classic. It is further enhanced by a WOOX BRAVADO Walnut stock, crafted in Italy from premium walnut and designed to provide timeless style, superior comfort, and enhanced shooting performance. The result is a sophisticated upgrade that blends traditional craftsmanship with modern refinement.
