The bolt action trigger problems didn't help any. And that predates the sale to the bean counters.Once the bean counter types took them over their products went to Hades.
Wingmaster?My brother in law bought an 870 in 1994.
I will check with him. I think it might be an express but not 100% sureWingmaster?
Gun ownership has become more concentrated as a result, with a small sliver of gun owners owning a growing segment of America’s firearms inventory, according to the Harvard Injury Control Research Center. These gun buyers have come to be known as “super owners” and one study, conducted by Harvard and Northeastern universities, concluded that about half the guns in America are owned by only 3 percent of the adult population, with an average of 17 firearms each.
Good thing my ammo rebate already shipped.
This isn't a big surprise. Hopefully this means they can get out from under Freedom Group and work to salvage their brand.
Yes, hopefully someone buys out the name and brings it back.
Marlin seems to be doing okay. Sure do wish they would make a few models like they did 100yrs ago.
About 60 years ago Marlin made a hammerless lever action rifle named the Levermatic.
They should revisit that design but update it to use an interchangeable mag well/different barrel lengths/threaded muzzle/etc.
The suppressed gun shooters would like it as it would function with all ammo.
The states where semi-auto is a problem it could be owned easily.
I sincerely hope that this is the case. The paranoid in me keeps thinking that Freedom Group is anti-gun and this was their plan from the very began. Gotta go, there's a black helicopter hovering outside my window.Yep. The Freedom group is nothing more than a bunch of damn bean counters and have no passion for the firearms themselves. .....

Didn't he jump on the original Assualt Weapons Ban bandwagon, or am I thinking of some other gun maker?Bill Ruger, Sr, tried to buy Smith & Wesson, but was out bid. Maybe the forward looking owners of Ruger could put forward an effort to at least get Remington, if not Marlin also.
