Not on any of mine.

Check for barrel droop and sights being installed properly and not leaning to one side or another.

Most "likely" issues may be stock and fore end furniture fit gaps you MAY encounter.


Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

From 2017 on they were pretty decent rifles, at least mine were, fit & finish, accuracy, were dependable, stainless ones are beautiful rifles.
Same for the all blue 336's. Nice.

I agree. After swearing that I would never buy a Remlin, I had the opportunity to buy an 1894 Cowboy in .45 Colt a few years ago. Everything was excellent and certainly up to par with JM production, although JM probably had nicer wood. Internally, Remington had actually improved the action a bit, so that my .45 Colt version worked better.

Like the JM 1894s that I had owned, it was a bit stiff at first, but by clipping a coil off the hammer spring and cycling the action 1000 times (lowering the hammer each time) it became just about as slick as an 1890s Model 1894, and the trigger pull was improved as well.

I ended up buying a couple of other Remlin lever guns before production stopped. Also very good.

I have a 44 RM and a 45-70 Remington Marlin.
I have a 30-30, a 35 Remington, and a 22LR Model 39A all stamped JM.
I lthink my Remington Marlins are as good a quality as my JM Marlins.


I prefer classic.
