Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) has introduced the Marlin Trapper Series Model 1895 rifle, equipped with Magpul ELG furniture.
Styled after Ruger’s original Trapper Series rifle, this model features the new Magpul Industries ELG stock and fore end. Constructed of reinforced polymer, the ELG furniture is impervious to bad weather. The stock and fore end are M-LOK and QD-attachment capable.
“We are proud to partner with Magpul to bring our customers this exciting new rifle,” said CEO and President, Chris Killoy. “Magpul has an excellent and well-deserved reputation for making some of the best accessories in the industry.”
The interior of the stock features an integrated storage compartment that holds six additional rounds. The rifle ships with a length-of-pull spacer kit that can increase the length of pull up to 1 1/2″ (in 1/2″ increments). Also included is a cheek riser kit for better sight alignment when using an optic.
Chambered in .45-70 Govt., this rifle features a 16.17″, cold hammer-forged barrel with a 1:20″ twist. The threaded barrel (11/16″-24), comes with a match-polished thread protector and will accommodate common muzzle devices.
The stainless steel receiver, lever, magazine tube and barrel feature a non-glare satin finish and black hardware. Takedown is done via Torx screws.
The Skinner Sights sight system features a 6.25″ Picatinny-style rail with an adjustable rear peep sight, and a Bear Buster front sight. Shooters can use either open sights or a rail-mounted optic.
