Marling 1895 question

[Capstick1]

I've been thinking about buying a brand new Marlin mod 1895 in .45-70. Most of the ones I've seen have four rd half length magazine tubes. Does Marlin make a version of this rifle with a full length magazine? If not is it possible to buy an aftermarket full length magazine and switch it out with the half length magazine tube?

You also might try buying the cowboy's full length tube and cutting it down to the length you need. Questions like this are best asked at:

Thanks for the info. I know Winchester was the first to start the whole lever action movement rolling but I think the the Marlin action is much stronger and more scope friendly.
