Marlin has debuted its 1895 Dark Series of lever-action firearms, along with several other additions to the 1895 family, at the 2024 SHOT Show. With a nylon-reinforced polymer stock, boasting M-Lok slots for accessory connectivity and QD cups for easy sling mounting, this is a lever gun for the modern age.

A cheek riser is included with the stock, for better eye alignment when an optic is mounted to the large stretch of Picatinny rail atop the gun's receiver and barrel. A ghost ring rear sight and tritium front blade are included for when an optic is not in use. At the stock's rear, a recoil pad absorbs the kick from hard-charging rounds. Also on display is the company's Model 336 SBL.
