Worth it
I purchased the shotgun Ract safe for my Marlin 1895 Dark series 45-70. Followed the instructions for the adjustments to the actual gun and then installed. Perfect.
Does RACT fit the Marlin 1895?

Questions
Which RACT version fits the Marlin 1895?
The Traditional Rifle & Shotgun kit: the notched hinge, which clears the barrel and magazine tube up to 3.3 in, and the traditional trigger cover. RACT Biometric ships with it; on RACT Keypad, choose the Traditional Rifle & Shotgun version.
What if my Marlin 1895 is set up differently?
Every part of RACT slides along the rail, so the barrel lock, trigger cover and stock support move to suit your gun's length, scope, light and sling. If your build differs from the owners' here, email support@varasafety.com with the make, model and what is mounted, and we will confirm before you order.
