Marlin / Mad Pig Customs
Model 1895 Mad Pig Customs
Marlin developed this Model 1895 collaboration with Mad Pig Customs and limited the Davidson's allocation to 1,000 rifles. The exact Marlin page confirms model 70938, UPC, $2,999 suggested retail, five-round capacity and a 16.1-inch cold-hammer-forged barrel with 11/16-24 muzzle threads. The Flat Dark Earth Cerakote package adds a Midwest Industries aluminum stock with Mad Pig grip panels, MI M-LOK handguard, Holosun HS510C reflex sight, XS Lever Rail ghost-ring sight system, Scepter-PB muzzle brake, oversized lever loop and FDE Magpul ladder covers. Davidson's documents the fixed run and allocation status; independent sell-through remains unpublished. The linked American Rifleman platform video reviews a current Marlin Model 1895 Dark Series in the same caliber and barrel-length class, not this Cerakote, furniture, optic, brake, distributor allocation or 1,000-rifle package.
