I have a Marlin 1895 chambered in 45-70, purchased new in the past 2 years. I have been reading about the Marlin Guide gun and how the porting helps increase control and reduce recoil. If this porting is added to the 22" 1895, would the same benefits apply? What are the negatives. I remember briefly mentioning this to a local gunsmith and he believed it was a waste of $100 as no substantial benefit would be obtained. he suggested I buy a slip on recoil pad.
I am a handloader and can easily adjust a load up or down for my needs, but I am curious about the impact and benefits/ negatives of having the same porting applied to the 1895 as is on the guide gun.
Thanks in advance
