Magpul ELG Handguard Now Fits All Modern Marlin Lever Guns!
What Was Announced
Magpul has expanded the compatibility of its popular Enhanced Lever Gun (ELG) M-LOK Hand Guard to include all modern Marlin lever-action rifles – including those now manufactured by Ruger and Remington! Originally designed solely for the Marlin 1895 in .45-70, this update significantly broadens the appeal of the ELG, bringing enhanced modularity to a wider range of classic lever-action platforms. The announcement was made recently, marking a significant upgrade for owners of Marlin 1894 and 336 rifles across all current chamberings. This is a welcome addition for those looking to modernize their favorite lever guns.

What Makes It Different
The key difference is the expanded compatibility. Previously limited to the .45-70 Marlin 1895, the updated ELG Hand Guard now fits the 1894 and 336 models thanks to a simple clamp swap that accommodates different magazine tube diameters. This means owners of the incredibly popular .30-30 Marlin 336, for example, can now easily add M-LOK attachment points to their rifle. This allows for the addition of lights, lasers, bipods, and other accessories, greatly increasing the versatility of these classic firearms. While other aftermarket handguards exist for lever actions, Magpul’s reputation for quality and durability, combined with the widespread M-LOK standard, makes this a compelling upgrade.
