MARLIN 1895 HANDGUARD M-LOK Reviews & Ratings

MIDWEST INDUSTRIES MARLIN 1895 HANDGUARD M-LOK

Why should the "modern sporting rifles" get all the accessory-mounting options? What about the original light, maneuverable, high-capacity carbine - the lever action? Midwest Industries has answered those questions with their Marlin M-LOK™ Handguard that provides a sturdy platform for mounting a light, laser, and just about any other tactical accessory on Marlin lever actions. The Marlin 1895 is still the carry gun of choice for folks operating in bear country, or anywhere else the AR-15’s .223 cartridge (even the AK’s 7.62x39) isn’t going to have enough persuading power to get the job done. The folks at MI made sure their Marlin M-LOK handguard is slender and lightweight, so it adds the bare minimum of bulk to your 1895, 1894, or 336 (see fitting note below). Installation is easy and requires no permanent modifications to the rifle, so you can return it to its original configuration any time.

SPECIFICATIONS:

Machined 6061 T6 aluminum (like tactical AR handguards)
Hardcoat anodized finish, matte black
13.625" OAL x 1.64" wide at widest point
Weighs only 6 oz.!
Fits rifles with a forend cap; will NOT fit rifles with a forward barrel band (see note below)

The Marlin M-LOK handguard comes with a bolt-on 5-slot Picatinny rail section, so you can mount Picatinny accessories, too. The forward-mounted sling swivel stud is compatible with swivels for conventional hunting slings. Genuine new developments in the world of lever actions are rare these days - but here’s one that brings a big dose of extra versatility to an already exceptionally handy, versatile rifle. Brownells GunTech™ Note: The Midwest Industries Marlin M-LOK handguard fits Marlin 1895 (excluding the CB model), Marlin 1894, and 336 rifles with a cap at the forward end of the forearm. DOES NOT fit rifles/carbines with a barrel band around the forearm and the barrel itself.

Marlin 336 Refurb

Bought this as part of a referb of a 1964 Marlin 336 in .35 Remington. Installation was very direct and easy. Rock solid construction and fits the gun like a glove. Excellent purchase.

Perfect for Marlin 1894 CSBL

Very easy installation and gives my Marlin a whole different look and expands functionality. Quality product.

Marlin 1895 Handguard

Installed on a late model Marlin 1895. Easy installation with no issues. The handguard is slim and adds a lot of traction to your grip.

You won't regret it

Installation took no more than five minutes and my rifle looks amazing! It completely changed the look.

Great 1895 Addition

I recently purchased this handguard for an 1895 i had sitting in the safe. i wanted to see if this was all the rage that videos and reviews are saying online. I have to admit, this is a great addition to my lever gun set up. After getting this installed, the rifle actually has a better feel than the stock handguard, also allowing for any attachments i would like to put on the gun. My next step will probably be to throw some mlok panels or a flashlight on the forend as i want to make use of the mlok as best i can. Highly recommend!

Awesome rail

Mounted this rail on a Marlin 1895 Dark Series 45-70. Installation was simple and straightforward, not to mention it looks great on the rifle. Highly recommended for the Dark Series rifles, but may not be ideal for other Marlin lever action rifles.

Great product / horrible instructions

First off, ordering from Brownells was amazing. No issues there. The product itself is great, however the instructions were horrible. I figured it out on my own but the piece of paper that comes with it doesn't explain much. And there's not many videos out there on how to install it. Either way I would buy again. Just don't listen to the people that say Midwest industries instructions are super detailed because they are not.
