No pictures yet but I just got a 1895CB.
I couldn't find it on the website but its in 45-70, 19 1/2" octagonal bbl, full length mag tube and a straight stock. Looking forward to shooting it.
Let you know when I do

Congratulations ...

I have always wanted to shoot one of those. I have a CBC in .45 Colt that I wouldn't part with.

must be a limited III not a cowboy and it would have a 18.5 inch barrel. the cowboys came with 26 inch barrels. If its a limited III its in my  opinion the nicest marlin made.

Sounds like a winner, give us a range report and post some pictures after you shoot it, please?

Lloyd are you sure they did not make a Cowboy with a 20 inch octagon barrel???  I saw one, and thought it would be a great rifle.  But I  will admit that I was not sure it was a cowboy.  But it was an octagon barrel.  Tom.
