I’m with you, I think that could be a very good thing . Personally I’m a big fan of Blackhawks and Vaqueros and Marlin lever guns !

[Der Gebirgsjager]

That's very interesting. So now, the much maligned Remlins will become collector items!

Remington Asset Bids Revealed: Ruger Gets Marlin, Vista Gets Remington Ammo, Franklin Armory Gets Bushmaster, Sierra Gets Barnes

I read it too!:holysheep

[Jack Stanley]

From past encounters with both products I'm not interested in either one . It will be interesting to see how Vista does with the ammunition .

It is sad to see Remington go under .

So, is somebody going to buy the 'Remington' assets ?
Is remington shedding all the other brands so as to continue as remington?

[Divil]

I am happy to see Ruger probably acquire the Marlin firearms asset and I am happy to see Sierra acquire the Barnes bullets asset. Hopefully the new owner of the Lonoke ammunition will do a good job.

Come on, Man! We all need another lever gun. ;-)

Good news to me. But........I hope Ruger doesn't turn out the same boring 20" bbls, BBL bands and ramped sights........let's see 16 & 24" octagon barrels, rifle furniture, dovetailed blade sights.
A compact levergun that is truly compact. The C and CP 1894 models were near perfect save the ramped front sights. Looking forward to seeing them hit the shelf.

I'm torn in how I feel about this. I love my 700's and my 870's as well as my 1187's

[yovinny]

Knowing Ruger,, it will probably take the better part of a decade to see one.
Though they'll probably start advertising them by Christmas....
Hopefully not featuring beech wood and potmetal,, like their last lever action.

[Ramjet-SS]

I will stick with Henry what I cannot understand is how this holding company tanked the Remington brand Gun sales at all time records the last 12 years ........

I should start a pool on how long it's going to take the guys at the Marlin forums to start reminiscing about the good old days when Remlins were king and how bad the new "Margers" are.

We can thank the Holding companies that trade manufacturers like a kid

marlin made marlins were a good rifles. remington made marlins were junk. who knows what ruger will do and when will they do it.

[samari46]

Well I for one would be interested if they changed the rifling twist in the 444 Marlin and 44 magnum rifles from that 1x38 to 1x20. Don't know why Marlin ever went with such a slow twist in the first place. Frank

Don't know why Marlin ever went with such a slow twist in the first place. FrankMy 1895 444 has a 1:20 and I believe they have had this faster twist for a few years now.

I hope Ruger will change the 1894 twist to 1:20 like the 444, and similar to Ruger's SBH twist rate.

[MT Gianni]

I am looking forward to a marlin 32 Mag or even 327 rifle.

[Ajohns]

I hope Ruger will change the 1894 twist to 1:20 like the 444, and similar to Ruger's SBH twist rate.

The old Ruger 96/44 is 1:20, it may happen

[Shawlerbrook]

Great news for Marlin and Barnes .

[quilbilly]

From what I just read on another outdoor site, Remington Firearms has been taken over by a team of engineers, shooting enthusiasts, and marketers, not just bean counters. Remington will continue to make firearms with upgrades. I am hopeful. It would be very sad to lose such an old brand with so much history.

[sharps4590]

I've never been a Remington guy, just a matter of taste. I would still hate to see them disappear given as long as they've been around.

Crippling lawsuits. Biggest one comes from the Sandy Hook shootings. An activist judge allowed families of the victims to sue Remington (owner of Bushmaster) and others for the criminal misuse of their products. That's like suing Toyota because a drunk driver piloted a Camry when he killed someone. A clear violation of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, but its happening regardless....

Maybe something good will come out of this! The 'Remlins' were a complete disaster. So glad I bought my JM 336 when I did.

I'm optimistic about the Ruger purchase of Marlin. I think a Ruger-manufactured Marlin would at least be a good gun. Btw, I'd personally prefer Rulin to Marger. Just one dude's opinion.
