If I read that correctly Ruger is gonna possibly use Remlin parts.
Which makes economic sense using existing bench stock.
However one might wait a while till they exhaust the remington parts they might use in intial runs.
Kinda advoid the frankengun type of thing.
And the stigma of the remlin which exist in many peoples minds.
Eventually Ruger will reach a point where they have 0 remlin era manufactured parts.
People will want the 100% Ruger guns over the frankenguns.
It always happens with changes in models in design and manufacture.
Desirability.......
And Ruger will be sure to announce that they are pure ruger made marlins when that transistion happens.
They would be foolish not too, knowing how people are about stuff like that.
Be nice if they offered models without a cross bolt safety again.
Even a redesign to a tang safety would be cosmetically and ergonomically better for handling with only your thumb pushing it on and off.
Like to see a 24 inch 444 model with pistol grip buttstock like the old 336A models with a capped and not banded forearm.
The ones from the late 60,s and early 70,s ( 4 yr run IIRC) based on the 1895 model with straight and not curved lever with the high cheek peice just seem ungainly in appearance.
Even making a run of 336A,s in 35 rem again would be cool.
I would give ruger time to exhaust the remlin parts.
Just to have one of the 1st 100% made Ruger models.
JMO.
