Farewell to MARLIN

[Rodolfo Fierro]

Cerberus owns Remington and now Marlin. That would include H&R, NEF, and L.C. Smith. This year they closed the Marlin factory in North Haven CT. The problem that Marlin had is that their products required fitting during assembly. That takes time, and time is money.
Cerberus did not buy Marlin for its inventory of 70 year old machinery. They wanted the name! When we see the new model Marlins in the future they will all be newly designed. They will not reqire any fitting during assembly. Some of us will yearn for the old pre-2010 guns.

Respond with your dollars; no Cerberus products.

Well, that's a bummer. Hopefully the buy Robinson Arms next.

. . . Hopefully the buy Robinson Arms next.

That would only be an improvement, based on my personal experience with RA and its products.

Didn't they own Chrysler for a while this past decade? Hmmmm... THAT seemed to work out well!

And I bought a 935R a few years back, for my sons to learn how to shoot with when they get old enough. Guess I better stock up on mags and parts!

That Marlin 336 lever action 30-30 on my "I want" list just moved up several notches...

I have on layaway a Marlin 336 in .35 REM. It is an older model because it does not have the screws for mounting a scope.

Start to see the price of older Marlins go up.

Part of the decision to move production from Conn to other plants in the US had to do with the cost of labor. Just like Winchester, Marlin's plant was expensive to produce guns at.

Crap, same here. Too bad its not near attainable right now for me.

I love my Marlin firearms, own two 336's and three different XL7's. Quality at a great price.
