It sounds like they bought a mess. I like their plan to bring back the brand.
The mention of the 60 as a direct competitor to the 10-22 was interesting. I would like them to bring back the 39A too.

Well, for what its worth, time will tell. Personally as a home gun collector, I wouldn't own any Marlin that was built after 2009. I have the following Marlins and they all are tack drivers.
Marlin 30AS 30/30
1894SS 44 mag
1894 357
Marlin 39A ( take down )
Marlin 60 SS.
If you are in the market for a Marlin, asked to see proof mark on left side of barrel. All original Marlins will have a JM stamped in the barrel, and say built in New Haven Connecticut.
Anything that says Ilion New York, was built by Remington then Freedom Arms. But, if Ruger was smart and hired all the laid off gun smiths that previously worked at the New Haven Connecticut plant, then maybe the Name and quality will come back.

The Gun talk episode linked above talked about this. They are currently hiring engineers. I wish them luck. I believe they also said that even though they bought the Remington named Marlins, they would NOT offer warranty service for Remington made Marlins. |

Ruger doesn't offer a traditional factory warranty on their firearms, much less on firearms made by Remington.
Here's what is in the owner's manual about the lack of a traditional "warranty"...
Even with the above, Ruger stands behind what they manufacture and is legendary for taking care of their customers.
I would imagine that the new Marlin will take care of their customers like Ruger does on firearms that they manufacture.

Rugers' policy is similar to the days when a persons word or handshake was the equivalent of a signed contract. Too bad that has been lost in today's world.

I am looking forward to the Ruger Marlins. I think they will be a well made rifle. I would like to see a "BR" or "S-R" proff stamp on them.
Maybe an 1894 Cowboy in 45 Colt?
As far as Ruger's warrenty goes my LCP 2008 build got sent back to Ruger for warrenty work. They sent me a labeled box with prepaid shipping. Sent it out on a Friday had it back the next Friday. Complete with a new mag. That was in 2017.
I own 2 other Rugers, a Single-six and a MarkIII? I think it is. Both shoot and function fine.

Of the Remington shiz show I thing this has the best potential for being good. We sell a ton of Ruger Americans and 10/22s and they represent great value. If I had 20 1895s and 1894s I could sell them in less than 2 days.....folks are chomping at the bit to get them.

I do not think those are the made by Ruger rifles. Those appear to be way out of date pricewise. As far as I know Ruger is only making the 2 1895 45-70's. |

from Marlins website. Looks like the 336 and the 1894 are on the adjenda but when they will release them is just a guess. I see where they are releasing a new .380 with an easy rack slide. It is tough to bring out new products, train operators and develope/prove process in a plant running at a high capicity. www.marlinfirearms.com/s/leverAction/ |

Update from our shop.....we have gotten about 10 of the 1895s so far....a couple of the Trappers included. They have all sold the same day they went on the floor. I have not gotten to shoot them yet but the fit, finish, and machining seems top notch.

From Feild and Stream...
Ruger-Made Marlin 336
Marlin 336
The new Ruger-made Marlin 336. Will Brantley
Count me among those who’ve always preferred the Marlin 336 over the Winchester 94. I’ve got an original, JM-stamped 336 of my own in .35 Remington, but the .30-30 versions were far and away more popular in the Kentucky deer camps I frequented as a kid. Like most Marlin fans, I’ve been encouraged by the new Ruger-made 1895s in .45-70, but what I really wanted to see was an update of the classic deer rifle. Yesterday, I did. I got to shoot a half dozen rounds through the brand-new Marlin 336 Classic, built under Ruger ownership, and I was impressed. The rifle was easy to hit with. The test model wore open sights, but it’s of course drilled and tapped for a scope base. Aesthetically, it looks just like a later-model original Marlin (it does have a cross-bolt safety). It would be just as handy in the timber, too, with a 20.25-inch barrel and 6+1 capacity. The rifle I shot was chambered in .30-30, which is probably the better way to go, but I’m told the new 336 Classic will be available in .35 Remington, too. That’s good timing, since a couple major ammo makers (Federal and Remington) are again loading that classic round. New 336 Classic rifles will supposedly be available in early 2023. —Will Brantley
