Bangs head on desk, finding a 19 or 20" threaded 45-70

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.

Yep, thats it. If i could have gotten all my guns with that coating and a threaded barrel i would have. It's the cat's meo as far as looks.

Well, as the saying goes, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder ."
To me, blued steel and walnut is hard to beat, but we all know what they say about opinions.
Congrats on the new purchase.
