Custom & Collectible Firearms has introduced an exceptional addition to their wildlife series—a meticulously crafted Marlin 1894 SBL Wild Boar chambered in .44 Magnum. This stunning lever-action rifle beautifully balances traditional hunting capability with collectible craftsmanship, making it an ideal choice for both hog hunting enthusiasts and firearm collectors who appreciate fine artistry.
Built on a Proven Foundation
This custom rifle starts with Marlin's legendary 1894-pattern lever-action design, a platform that has stood the test of time for well over a century. The foundation models from Ruger's current production represent a return to rigorous quality control standards, ensuring each rifle meets exacting specifications before Custom & Collectible Firearms begins their enhancement process.
Premium Materials and Expert Craftsmanship
Custom & Collectible Firearms elevates the standard Marlin platform with carefully selected upgrades that enhance both performance and aesthetics.
Distinguished Features and Specifications
Barrel and Metalwork
The rifle showcases a 16-inch cold hammer-forged barrel finished in polished stainless steel, providing both durability and corrosion resistance for demanding field conditions. The receiver features elegant fine engraving that adds a distinctive artistic touch to this functional firearm.
Enhanced Furniture
The gray laminate stock and forend feature precision checkering that provides excellent grip control while contributing to the rifle's sophisticated appearance. This furniture choice offers superior stability compared to traditional wood while maintaining classic aesthetic appeal.
Upgraded Sighting System
The Wild Boar edition comes equipped with a fiber-optic front sight enhanced with a tritium ring for low-light visibility. The adjustable ghost ring rear sight allows for quick target acquisition and precise shot placement. For shooters who prefer magnified optics, a Picatinny rail mounted atop the receiver provides versatile mounting options.
Thoughtful Safety and Handling Features
The rifle includes an oversized stainless steel lever loop for smooth operation, even when wearing gloves. Safety features include a push-button cross-bolt safety, complemented by a traditional hammer with half-cock position. An offset hammer spur is also included for enhanced accessibility.
Limited Edition Collectibility
Each Wild Boar edition rifle comes with exclusive extras that underscore its collectible status: a commemorative challenge coin and a certificate of authenticity. With production limited to just 300 examples, this rifle represents a unique opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Investment-Grade Pricing
The Marlin 1894 SBL Wild Boar .44 Magnum is priced at $2,499, reflecting its premium craftsmanship, limited production status, and the extensive custom work that transforms a quality factory rifle into a distinctive piece worthy of both field use and display.
Whether destined for the hunting woods or a place of honor in a collection, this rifle represents Custom & Collectible Firearms' commitment to creating firearms that are both functional tools and works of art.
