Ruger and Marlin
- Thread starter ballardw
- Start date
A while back just after Ruger bought Marlin from Remington, there was a statement from Ruger mgt that they were going to make the Marlins, "the way they should be made".
Most of us took that to mean the traditional quality (at a minimum). And, we fully expect it to take Ruger a few years to get into production to do that.
I think the virus and the related panic-demic effects have pushed the timetable back some. We hope for the best, but aren't holding our breath for a specific date, its still too soon for that, I think.

I hope that Ruger has consulted with old time Marlin workers to get information on what parts/fitment are critical versus just cosmetic. Things like material properties and heat treatment for example. I would expect Ruger to use their expertise in modern gun manufacture to streamline the production of new Marlins.

Personally, I’m optimistic. Plus it’ll give me a chance to own one. Just hope they do it right without any QC issues

Most of these concerns and desires have been mentioned on Ruger forum.
The crossbolt safety is the STUPIDEST thing ever done.
