Sorry this is the first visit to this topic
I have a friend looking for a tube extension for his marlin 1895 45-70 to extended the magazine.
Can someone lead me in the right direction

Thanks for the link
Is that all I need?
I am trying to get this for a friend in Norway
Will this just replace the existing tube or is there more revisions to be made?
Thanks so much
Larry

This is the tube for an 1895 Cowboy (full length magazine). It should replace the existing tube and any other parts should already be on the old tube assembly.

You can check with the Brownell's Technical Support: 800-741-0015 or contact them here:

You might give Jim Brockman a call. He was very helpful when I installed one on mine.

Larry, the Cowboy has a 26" barrel so make sure you don't get an extension longer then the guy's barrel.

This will require a new dovetail cut for the magazine hanger screw. Should be straight forward though.
