Has this been discussed here? I think Ruger will do a much better job then Remington. Maybe will not see the micro grove barrels again. I am very interested. I read somewhere that Ruger said they would be producing the Marlins by this fall. Any one have any info on this?
oops. Missed the thread on page 2. I got my answer. Just hope Ruger does the Marlin justice. Crossing my fingers.
Cannot wait to see some Ruglins on dealers shelves.
Ruger is making some nice hammer forged barrels. And their investment casting expertise will be a big plus too. How about a Super Saddle Hawk carbine in .44 mag?
I'm looking forward to the new Rugerlins. I really hope they bring back the 1895 CBA, like a big dummy I didn't buy one when I had the chance.
Currently casting and loading: .32 Auto, .380 Auto, .38 Special, 9X19, .357 Magnum, .257 Roberts, 6.5 Creedmoor, .30 WCF, .308 WCF, .45-70.
Has Ruger ever done any casting work for Marlin?

Investment casting would make sense, since it greatly reduces machining, and with a well operated process, it's actually stronger than machined from block parts! However, in answer to your question, I have no idea.
I am cautiously optimistic.
Marlin has always used forged steel parts for most of their lever guns.
Looking forward to it should be interesting

Forging makes sense, however, investment casting would probably bring cost down, with a net balance on strength. Rugers call.
