What is the difference?
« on: February 23, 2004, 06:12:09 AM »
between the 1895 and the 1895 SS?  Don't they both have pistol grips, 22 " barrels, and checkering?  I can't see any difference.  I think Marlin lists this gun as the 1895.

I'm thinking of buying an 1895 SS from a guy at my gun club.

Marlin 1895SS

I'm not sure, but weren't the Marlin1895SS the .45-70 chambering with Micro-Groove rifling?

The current 1895 have Ballard-type rifling (easier to get good cast bullet accuracy).
