Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Remington assets being divided up

If you go to the link in the OP, you can find out about those too.

They also assume a lot of liability.

He's in KT I do believe.

But, if I were to move there, I might let him fish in it for free.......................if he gives up bashing Californians...................Bash the State, sure......but the people are off limits.

How long before varmint guy starts the next remington dissolution thread? A pool ?

Well, the acquisition of Barnes gives Sierra a foot in the door of the "non-lead" ammo side of things.

Unless I'm mistaken, they presently don't have an offering in that format.

Their biggest problem was they were purchased by a capital firm.....those are interested in one thing, sucking as much profit from the existing business as possible, then selling off the remains.

Ruger is an incredible company.

This will only be good for Marlin and gun nuts.

This. I hope that they decide to manufacture the 39A and are able to hold the cost down a little with their more modern approach to manufacturing, if they do I will be one of the first to buy one. Drug my feet too long in the past to get one. The lever guns should go hand in hand with their single action revolvers. I've probably had better luck with Ruger quality control as I've had with Kimber, Remington (the worst) or Winchester ( not the present company).

If Ruger is involved no more Marlins for Me

Which will come 1st:

1. "Marlin" 96/22

2. Marlin 39-A in SS and Left-Handed

I love those 96's.

I need to snag one sooner or later.

You buy you a bad Ruger?

I love the 39 and they are nice guns, but if you ever come across a BL-22 try and put hands on it before walking away.

They are incredible.

I like Ruger. So there’s that...

But a high QC, highly finished complex manufactured lever right isn’t exactly what Ruger has been moving towards.

They don’t even make a wood/blued 77/Hawkeye anymore other than the African limited offerings. Same for 77/22. They’ve figured out they can sell a bunch of entry label poorly finished guns and make more money than selling a single better finished gun.

Thats just smart business. I think with modern tooling, and machinery the Marlin levers should be a profitable business venture. Unfortunately they'll have to move all that, or lease the existing facility from the new owners. Let's hope they find a way to make it work .

I'm afraid I'm going to have to call someone at Dakota to find out what's going on there. The Remington Custom Shop moved out there some years ago.

But the state is beautiful. The people are the problem.

From my standpoint, and only because I like the round, the fact that Ruger made the Hawkeye pistol, and Marlin a Levermatic chambered in .256 Winchester Magnum, perhaps a now joint company can come up with something reasonably priced in that chambering?

A Marlin 94 chambered in .357 doesn't seem like something hard to convert to a .257 cal barrel, does it?

Wrong, "some" people are the problem. Mainly the "elected" ones. Elected by those that live in cities. And most of those aren't real "people" in my mind, just automatons.

The BL-22 would be the smart choice no doubt, but you know how gun loonies are. My favorite uncle loaned me his 39A when I was about 14 years old to take and use as my own. I killed more squirrels with that thing behind my dad's house than I should ever admit. I bought one of the Henry lever 22 rifles, nice gun also. But I just have a spot in my heart I need to fill with that 39A.
