I have the 1895 GSBL that Marlin (Remington) put out 10 yrs ago.

A bit more weather resistant with this model with nitrided SS metal throughout, and a textured coating over the laminated stock.
The only upgrades I did was replacing the rear-sight with a Skinner receiver sight, taking the front hood off, trigger job, and getting a HPG buttstock shell holder.
Good rifle for when in dog-hair thick timber in high-probability Griz country.

Broad interest in the .45-70 Gov’t has waxed and waned repeatedly during its 130-year existence, but this bruiser of a cartridge has never died out completely thanks to support by a small but dedicated group of die-hard big-bore aficionados and to the range of interesting firearms chambered in it.

Certainly would have been a great addition to the kit in the Blazer back in the dark ages of my career.
Hey Buddy, what was your career in the dark ages?

I have enjoyed my retirement, but having a COVID related stroke kinda slowed things down a bit.
Sorry to hear that. Wishing you the best.
Beat you by 8 years…Class of 1971.
Well congratulations. Hope you are in good health and are enjoying retirement.
