If it don't say JM on gun stay far far far away it's junk !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The last few years that Marlin made them were nothing to brag about!
I will say that they are still heads above the early Remingtons. There were some simply atrocious samples sold to the public.
Looking at recent examples, I'll have to say the they (Remington) have come a long way.
