Would like to see one with Ballard rifling ( not micro-groove), a 0.429" groove diameter (not 0.431"+), with 0.004" deep grooves ( not 0.003") and 1-20" rifling twist ( not 1-38") compared to JM-stamped Marlin "Ballard" rifling ( which is as shallow as micro-groove, but has wider lands). This would immediately improve accuracy of this platform-which was the major drawback of the JM-stamped 1894 44 mags. Too slow a twist, and too great a groove diameter.

Marlins are great rifles! And not to rain on that static parade photo op... With rifle barely visible! But ...I'll take the Marlin Model 1895 from re-intro years 1972 forward into the early eighties. All in the 'no safety' series! Below my 'vintage model from that first year '72. Definitely a matter of differing taste, but the new genre/trend of 'pimped' rifles; just not my preference in classic levers! No offense intended... Just my take! Best!

Chris states that first examples will be available mid-December . He also says that things will be slow at first so please be patient . Interesting to note : they are keeping the forged receiver , not investment casted . Whether or not they keep that design feature in the future is not known at this time . The guns are being made in the N.C. plant . The wood shop is in N.H. He said that over 100 tractor trailers went to N.C. Last edited by bulkie_roll; 10/25/21.

I'd probably buy a Marlin priced lever gun, but not a Merkel priced Ruger lever If they don't price them for the wally world buyers, I imagine a good many will become spider condos in a dusty warehouse somewhere

Hopefully Ruger is taking notes

I wonder if they're planning on them being an average schmoe's rifle, or more of a niche lineup like the Miroku built Winchester levers. Those are nice, but definitly not catered toward the Billy Joe Walmart crowd at all.

I hope Ruger builds a quality gun that's top of the line. Let Henry build the cheap stuff.

Ruger makes a good product. I have a #1 and two 77’s, so I like Rugers. But….. this is not a Marlin…. It is a Ruger lever action. They do not make Marlins anymore. If you want a Marlin lever action, buy one there are plenty out there for sale. At least now.
