It isn't and neither is Marlin. :)

Marlin was bought by Remington. The old Marlin plant was closed and production moved to new facilities. Many say that quality dropped off sharply after the purchase. They even coined a derogatory term for the new production guns, "Remlins." I have not personally handled any of them, but some making the claim are people whose opinions I respect.

I just bought a brand new 336 in .35 Rem. It is just as nice as my 336 .30 WCF from the JM days. I have a guide gun that I bought after the Remlin changes and shoots very well, indeed. Just my personal experience

just shot my friends new SS 44 mag and not a thing wrong with it whatsoever.
if i wanted one i would buy one in a second. cycled smooth and fast and shot great. that is a test of only one, but i was impressed.

I think they were basically shut down for a while while they moved and got up and running again. I think they are still not, and may not, offer all the models they were before the buyout and move.

I have an 1895 that is post Remington. The wood isn't fitted as nice as the pre-rem Marlins that I've seen. I have had no problems at all with the function of the gun.
