📋 About This Mod
MARLIN MODEL 1894

- Has lore-friendly branding
- Customisable minus engravings. Stock options completely change stock and barrel models
- Custom Compendium and Catalogue pages, as well as Weapon Wheel icons

This mod replaces the Varmint Rifle with a Marlin Model 1894 lever-action rifle, offering a visual and thematic upgrade for players who prefer classic firearms. It's a simple, lightweight weapon replacer with modest community support, ideal for those wanting a Western-style aesthetic without changing gameplay mechanics.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Gives the Varmint Rifle a classic lever-action look that fits a Western playthrough.
- Lightweight mod with no reported conflicts—just a model swap.
- Decent community backing with 125 endorsements and over 16k downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Only changes the appearance; no new sounds or animations, so it might feel incomplete.
- Replaces the Varmint Rifle, so if you use other mods that alter that weapon, you'll need to patch or risk conflicts.
- No custom textures or high-res options—just a basic model replacement.
This is for players who want a more traditional firearm look in their game, especially those doing a cowboy or survivalist roleplay. It's also great for anyone who finds the default Varmint Rifle ugly and wants a simple visual upgrade without messing with stats.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the files in your game's Data folder and enable the mod in your load order.
- If you use other weapon mods, check if they also modify the Varmint Rifle to avoid conflicts.
- This mod doesn't change stats, so your Varmint Rifle will still perform the same—just look cooler.
