Magpul Industries ELG M-LOK Handguard, Fits Marlin 1895/1894/336, Matte Finish, Olive Drab Green MAG1381-ODG The Enhanced Lever Gun (ELG) M-LOK Hand Guard is a lever-action hand guard designed to optimize the functionality of the Marlin 1895-pattern series of lever-action rifles. The hand guard is 12" long and attaches to the firearm using a patented mechanism that only requires the user to remove the OEM or other manufactured hand guard and end cap. The ELG Hand Guard has six (6) M-LOK slots at the 3" 6" and 9 o'clock positions for mounting a host of accessories to help shooters make the most out of their classic hunting or home-defense rig. If a shooter wants the adaptability of the M-LOK system but wants to keep the firearm's clean look while improving purchase on the gun when firing modern" heavy-recoiling .45-70 Gov't rounds" the ELG Hand Guard is compatible with both Type 1 and Type 2 Magpul Rail Covers. The ELG has an integrated hand stop at the front of the hand guard. The ELG Hand Guard currently fits ONLY Marlin 1895-pattern guns with the hand guard retaining cap. It will not fit 1894/336 pattern guns without modifications and will require a dovetail hand guard tenon to be added to any gun using a barrel band to retain the OEM hand guard.
