I've been wanting to get a lever-action Marlin for quite some time, and I'm putting myself through the trouble of getting a new one - Lord knows why. Anyway, I saw that Marlin has "Reintroduced" the Cowboy 1895 in .45-70, and've been considering it. My only concern is that I don't know if it is a new gun (and consequently up to new gun specks) or if it is a faithful reproduction of a Cowboy gun {which may not be able to handle a high preasure load like a Buffalo Bore or Cor-Bon (44,000 C.U.P.)}.
So I gues thats my basic question, can this gun handle high preasure loads - like the other modern Marlin .45-70's - or is it just a going to be something pretty and be a hazzard with anything over 29,000 C.U.P.?
