Ruger bought the "Marlin" name and manufacturing equipment. No real property inovlved and Big R to move all to Prescott, Az for manufacture. Sad question/vacuum of the current employees. At best except perhaps for a few 'key' folks, a move on their own dime... If even jobs offered! I always end up thinking about such stuff as firms go under, downsize, layoff, etc. The 'human' side! At least believe the 'mark' is in good hands!
Best & Keep Safe!
