Our RPP-designed "medium" large loop finger
levers for Marlin Firearms lever-action rifles (336, 1895 45-70, 1894, 444,
450M) are a drop-in part that should take minutes to install.
Meticulously CNC machined in-house:
- 4140 steel alloy and black nitride coated for a smooth,
scratch-proof finish
- Hand sanded and tumbled to remove all burrs and sharp
edges
- Levers look great on blued or stainless steel rifles
- Work on Marlin Finger Lever -actions built
1950 or newer
WHICH MARLIN'S LOOP LEVER DO I NEED?
1. Marlin “Rifle Caliber” models *mostly* all use the same
lever based on their trigger plate + butt stock
- Marlin Pistol Grip Butt Stock Lever, Black (336 30-30, 308/338, 410, 444,
1895 45-70, 450M)
- Marlin Straight Grip Butt Stock Lever, Black (336 30-30, 308/338, 410, 444,
1895 45-70, 450M)
2. Marlin 35 Rem rifles need a special lever with an
additional cut in the control blade for smooth cycling
3. Marlin 1894 Straight Butt Stock Lever, Black
Nitride (357 Mag, 44 Mag, 45 Colt, 218 Bee, 35-20, 25-20, etc.)
PLEASE NOTE: These replacement levers do not
come with a plunger, cross-pin or spring. You'll be able to re-use the
parts from your factory lever as part of the installation process (instructions
included in the package).
What makes our Marlin "medium loop" levers
better?
1) Current "big loop" lever offerings incorporate
a loop that is very tall and circular, but the aggressive upper curve still
makes gloved fingers bunch together. We made more space fore and aft by
flattening and extending the upper curve, allowing the fingers to rest
naturally along the pistol grip.
2) The "big loop" levers also have two effects that we don't care
for: a) it creates an odd lag time when opening the action, while the hand
leaves the grip and the fingers travel downward before smacking abruptly into
the lower rung of the loop (with bare hands this can get uncomfortable
quickly); and b) the loop adds significantly to the height dimension of the
rifle and becomes the lowest point. Finish scratches are inevitable, and
handiness is sacrificed for style.
3) Additional space in the trigger guard area, where it is vital. Gloved
fingers are a pretty tight fit in factory trigger guards. That should make
anyone nervous when the hammer is back. We also decreased the dimension
separating loop and guard, allowing the fingers to sit naturally, close
together.
4) Aesthetically, we designed our lever to blend more naturally with the lines
of the butt stock, complementing the attractive curve of the pistol grip and
aligning perfectly with the straight stocks.
