I'd like to round out my collection with a second ruger marlin 1895 in 45-70. But i want 19 or 20" with threaded barrel in stainless.
Smith, henry, marlin are all rare as hens teeth as of now.

Never seen a stainless 45-70 Henry.
And the Smith 1854, I believe are only made in pistol calibers.
Good luck.

I am wrong about the 1854, it does come in a couple of rifle calibers. Specs say it has a 19.25" barrel.
Best of luck to you on the search.

Henry has the all-weather, but it doesn't come with a threaded barrel. I don't think it is stainless. Iirc, it is a hard nickel coating.
I ended up finding a Marlin 1895 guide gun, blued, but I was able to get a 19.1" and threaded barrel. I spent the morning looking for one of the 1895 SBLs within 500 miles, calls, web searches, etc.
I wasn't able to find one other than GB. All of the East Coast wholesalers I was able to check were also out.

It's satin hard chrome plated.
