Interesting. I did not know that. I was blown away by this rifle. Hell, I still am.Thanks for the write up on the Marlin 45/70. I have been diligently looking for a JM stamped model 45/70 for a while, but I want the straight stock model.
SAR 6114, in this case the SBL is part of the model name. I believe this is what the SBL means.
SBL is Stainless Big Loop....................BL is Big Loop (blue)............GBL is Guide Big Loop...
