I was reading a synopsis of the Marlin ,Remington transition.
I found it while researching the 308 marlin express.
Seems Remington didn’t due enough diligence before the sale.
Marlin had not kept up with modern engineering practices……as Remington must have assumed they had done. The firearms Marlin produced were not “ blueprinted”. They were built by the blueprints in the workers minds.
Remington did not want to upgrade the Marlin plant so when they moved it……the people that had the knowledge didn’t come with.
IMO given those obstacles Remington ended up with a A ok product.
However a JM Marlin is unique……..they ain’t making them any more!
Good luck with the sale!
