I have a friend that is a machinist for Marlin and is upset there moving to NY. He has applied at Ruger. Hope he gets hired on.

Does anyone know if Marlins being manufactured in N.Y. yet?

I dont know about the New York plant but I just purchased a new 795. On the barrel it says it was manufactured in Mayfield,KY. This is where I live and the only firearms plant in the region is the remington plant about 5 miles from my house.

I looked at a Remarlington 336 30-30 at BiMart...$355 out the door...not worth half that. Fit and finish were pi**poor, stock paint job was very bad and the action sounded and felt like it was full of sand when cycled.

I have a 1980's 336 I turned into a switch barrel...356 Win, 444M and 45-70 rechambered to 458 American...I LIKE MY EARLY MODEL MARLIN and plan on buying a 450 Marlin 1895M when I can find one that hasn't been jacked outasight on some autction site...but I WON'T buy any dated earlier than 1975 or later than ~2000 when the 450M started. I have a Browning BLR in 450 M I just purchased for the same price as the 1895M's are going for online and the Browning is 5 times the rifle the Marlin is.

Luck.

I've owned several Marlins made in NY, and the fit and finish were as good as anything Marlin has produced since the 1970s.

As a long time marlin owner that is the first time I have ever read that. I think it has more to do with your fierce loyalty to Remington. Having owned two ny built marlins, neither are with me any more.

I've owned at least 3 dozen rifles made by Marlin dating back to 1948. Those made in the 1970s had the worst fit and finish. Folks are just pissed at Remington for saving Marlin and making it profitable again. They are currently as good as they ever were.

How could that be when the have only been made in NY for less than a year???


I am quite surprised you didn't say you had a truckload of the new NY Marlins!

Is there a limit on how many rifles you can buy in a year? I've bought 3 in the last 7 days.

Well Swamp-gas, I could not disagree more with you. I hope remington & marlin get it all worked out but the quality controll is in a sad state with both products.........

It's never been better.

If it were Kimber that bought Marlin and the quality was the same as the Remington versions they would be schit in your eyes.

Only when you lie about it!!!

You're laughable at best. I hope that one day you will get a life.

That may be the case.....but as long as I am nothing like you I am doing better than you will ever do. Liars like you never last long!

I won't miss your amature comments.

Hey Swamp, what calibers did you get?

.45-70s

Funny..............didn't think a lying douche like you would know the difference!!!

You didn't buy schit !!!
