Marlin's 2020 Mdl 1895 410 bore UPDATE

The Norseman · Apr 27, 2020

Just thought I'd pass this along.

I was looking at Marlin online 2020 catalog today.

Marlin is bringing back the Marlin 1895 410 Shotgun.

I'm looking forward to this one!

I use the 410 exclusively around the Farm for Pests.
The 410 is so much safer around the Buildings.

410's Forever! Bolt Action below.

I would really like to find an old original Marlin .410

There is no school like the old school.

Henry has a big hit with their .410 lever gun, so somebody at Marlin saw the light. Always glad to see the old models come back to life.

I think back in the late 1920s-early 1930s Marlin did make a lever action .410, but they were specially made for Marlin company stockholders. If you owned some minimum number of Marlin shares, you got a shotgun. I don't remember the full story about it. It may also have been cataloged for sale.

What are the advantages over say, a $300 pump 410?

kraynky · Apr 29, 2020

Looks for one! How can you beat the look of a lever gun?

I have come oh so close to buying one a time or two, but I stop short trying to think of the times I'd need one suddenly and the chances of me actually carrying it at that time. So I stick with my 44 special with a shotshell or two loaded in front of a a few SWC rounds, and it's almost always there when I need it.

I still want one though. Maybe they'll drop down below a $1,000 now.......

Just saw one on GB listed at $1,999. Way too steep for me.

Bored

I was over on the Remington Catalog.

I see they have the 410 Bore available in Shotguns
1100 Semi-Auto and the Great 870 Pump.

Never noticed that before. I seen a Remington 870 410 bore
the other day, I thought it was Vintage One, so I paid no
attention. I bet it was one of the new ones.

Interesting.

Those old bolt action shotguns were sort of one step up from the single shot guns in some folks eyes back in the day.

They looked like repeaters, but were just bulky single shot guns with a place to carry a couple extra rounds: not as handy as a butt cuff in practice.

As shotguns, at least for wing shooting as opposed to ground-swatting or shooting birds off telephone wires, they were miserable devices: clumsy, bulky and relatively heavy.

They hold no interest for me.

Priceless Win 9410

I been trying to research this New 2020 Marlin 410 bore. This
thing must be just current, can't find any Reviews of it, even
on Marlin Forum.

Remember when Winchester made a 410 in the '94 (Model
9410)?

I've always liked the Win 9410. Seen one at Cabela's. $1300,
unfired, new in the box, hand tag still on it, and all the paper.

Man, I can remember before Winchester stopped making them,
they couldn't even give them away, seen some under $300
back in the day.

This was before I knew how handy the 410 is around the Farm.

Western-Field Bolt (Slim & Light) 410

Well I hope they have upped the quality. I have one Marlin jm stamped 336 in 35 Remington. The stuff Remington makes today doesn’t compare with it.

None unless you just like the 410......I do!..,,I have a 410 under& over/a 410 semi-auto and a Rem 410 pump. I shoot doves/quail and skeet with mine. A 410 Marlin would a thrill.......IF they can make it work correctly.

That's probably a whole 'nother thread, but the issues that Marlin experienced after the Remington purchase have been resolved for several years. I have two newer Marlins (made in 2017 and 2018) and they compare and perform favorably to the JM marked Marlins that I own.

Yeah I did get to fire a few rounds with a friends 1894 44 magnum last year made by Remington. It did feed and eject OK. The overall fit looked decent but wood finish not as great as that Mar-shield Marlin used on their guns way back. Still like that 1894 the best of all of em.

If I remember correctly, in one of James Arness's movies, his son in law gave him a new lever action Henry in .410. Saw it sometime in the last month when the INSP channel was having their April long Arness celebration.

I’ve personally handled two new Marlington 336s within the past year and BOTH had canted sights and one had a severely misaligned magazine tube.

They still haven’t gotten their act together, not on all of them. At least now they have a massive ugly dot matrix computer label engraved into the sides of the receiver, REAL classy.

I love 410! I have an old Stevens pump that is so-so at best and a 2005 Browning Citori Feather XS with 30" barrels. I use it for Sporting Clays and average in the upper 30's out of 50 (with a 410 high of 41) which is right at where I average with a 12 or 20! I've been shooting about 5000 410 a year and about 2500 28 Gauges also. Small Bores rule!

If I remember correctly. It was a Winchester 1887. and it was no .410

6-Shot

Ivan - say, out of curiosity tell me more on what
you use to Reload that 410.

What Reloading book/data are you using? I've studied
a Lyman Manual a little bit the other day.

I don't Reload for Shotgun yet. I've been buying
6 shot 410s when I find a sale. Last sale was
Cabela's at $7.50/box (Winchester). I stocked up.

Thank you in advance for any Info you give me.
