Marlin still in business?

[Leo]

I just got an email from an address that I do not recognize. It said Soros just shut down Marlin. I had heard about New England/ H&R, but this is the first time I saw Marlin mentioned. Their website is still operational. Can anyone confirm?

Probably wouldn't matter if they did close the doors as everything I have heard has been horrible since the buyout. If it doesn't say JM on it I am not interested.

China can keep the ****ty Winchester while we are at it.

Leo, teeth-talking nonsense.

This bs has been floating around for 5-6 years now.

The Marlin guys say remlin quality has been improving. Fit n finish still suck, though.

Thanks for the clarification. I was hoping the email was wrong. A model 39 was one of my first and there is a 30-30 and a 45-70 in the mix. I still kind of like them.

Check Snopes. It's an old BS story. For those who say Marlin sucks I own the 795 (22 LR) and I like it better than the Ruger 10/22.

Soros has nothing to do with Marlin or any other gun company so it's kind of hard for him to shut one down.

How old is the rifle.
The post by out stuff sucks.

I don't know how the newer stuff is, but I have a model 60 22LR I've had since childhood that would be on my short list of firearms I'd never buy/sell/trade. Every time I pull the trigger it goes bang, and places the projectile where intended.
