Ruger Buys Marlin

[MGySgt]

Seen today, 10/1/2020 that the purchase of Marlin from Remington has been approved. Scheduled closing date is 10/12/2020.
Ruger is moving Marlin tooling to their facilities.
Wonder how long until we see Marlin rifles back on the shelves in the Gun Stores.

I really have high hopes for this purchase

Hope Ruger makes the 1894 44 mag rifle with a quality barrel having: groove diameter of 0.429" with a groove depth of 0.004" (not 0.4315" diameter with 0.025" deep grooves as Marlin does), AND a rifling twist of 1:20 to 24", with 4-8 grooves.

If Ruger has a rebarreling service, they will get a lot of business.

I hope that T/C is part of the deal too

I have read multiple articles about the buy out, but i don't remember anything about TC

I believe T/C belongs to S&W.

Im not. Ive returned more rugers for factory defects and problems hands down then i have marlins. Yup ive had more rugers but that said i have had quite a few marlins over the years from all time periods and havent had a bad one yet. remember this isnt the days of past where a cool guy like Bill Ruger sat behind a desk and dreamed up cool things that shouted out orders and they were turned into a reality. Its the days of bean counters running ruger with there only goal the stock holders.

I'm cautiously optimistic about this. Marlin lever actions go well with Ruger single actions.
