I was wondering if Ruger is making everything to spec and if replacement parts are available for older guns. For example the ejector, but what about other parts?

I haven’t tried yet, but I’m very interested to hear the answer to this.
There are several different sources for ejectors from after market vendors.
WWG's is one.
No. From the Ruger site:
https://www.marlinfirearms.com/s/customerService/PRE-RUGER MANUFACTURED RIFLES
We do not have the parts, equipment, or expertise required to service existing, pre-Ruger, Marlin firearms and we cannot honor any warranty offered by the Remington Outdoor Company. We hope you understand the constraints that limit our ability to service firearms made prior to our acquisition.
So, my understanding is that Ruger has washed their hands completely of any guns bought pre-Ruger. My gunsmith hopes, but isn't certain, any parts being made by Ruger now can be guaranteed to fit in pre-acquisition Marlins (not there, but looking into a new barrel, possibly, at some point).

A new barrel is what I was wondering about too. I’m not interested in having a gun serviced by them, just buying parts.
Good luck with that. Ruger rarely sells parts unless you are looking for 10/22 parts or mags. They do sell a limited amount of drop in parts that don't require any fitting.

Midwest Gun Parts and all the standard sources including eBay.
I think it would be safe to say Ruger's Lawyers (i.e., liability exposure) have control of their parts situation, they have always wanted them back to fix.
Greg: Plenty of places to buy Marlin Parts online. But I do know that the Ejector is the same as on previous guns. It is one of the things they didn't change for now.
I just went on Ebay to find a "Marlin Bullseye" to inlay into my stock, and Instantly found what I needed for $15 shipped. I looked around a little and there seems to be everything known to man for Marlins there.
I saw a Barrel and Mag Tube assembly? Is that what you are looking for? Ejectors were there also.

It is my understanding that Ruger did adopt the 'V-thread' for the barrel/receiver that was used to strengthen the .450 Marlin on all their new production so the square thread is gone. The extractor, ejector, loading gate and most of the screws are available online somewhere. Poppert's, Numrich, Ranger Precision, Jack First, others and then there is the auction sites.
