elk8810145-70 tube extensions
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

elk88101Thanks 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

Smokin JoeThis 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.

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

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

elk88101It needs to be cut to lenght on the raw end I guess

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