Doc Neeley Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Just a head up, it seems Marlin may have the kinks worked out on the 1894's as they are showing up in distrubutors. Keep you fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Neeley Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Your source? Respectfully, LG The one I just received in my gun shop and the ones another distributor just got (and sold).

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Again, I will ask for a link to confirm what you say. Even the Marlin Forum has no news of YOUR statement. LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Arrow Hombre Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 LG Doc is just giving us a heads up. Your replies make it look like you doubt his honesty. How about you do a bit of digging and see if you can find out if new production marlins are shipping. Let us know what you find. Thanks, Arrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Arrow Hombre Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I hope as some of the newest marlins show up in the hands of the wire folks we'll hear good things. I'm more apt to believe a fellow cowboys opinions than an anonymous link from somewhere in Internet land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OY...you ever wonder why? Over the years I have seen tons of misinformation and lack of information on the Marlin forum. No different than the SASS Wire, reader beware.

Dutch Al #22045 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Lets hope the shipping information is correct. Hopefully Remington has solved the quality assurance issues with the newly manufactured Marlin rifles. The Marlin 94 is a wonderful rifle for cowboy action shooting, and many of us would like to see them around for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kid Sopris, Regulator, #3290 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 This is from Gary Reeders sight about Marlin *"A little clarification about Marlin here. A while back I mentioned that they had closed their doors and I was hoping it wasn’t for good. Well, I was somewhat right.* The Freedom Group’s factory rep was in the shop a few days ago and gave me the scoop on all the things that are going on with the company. Marlin also has a plant in Kentucky and this plant is where the bolt action guns are being made. They have new equipment and all is going well there. They are cranking out new rifles on a regular basis and the quality is fine. The problem was in their New York plant. The equipment for making the 1894 and 1895 rifles was so worn out that they couldn’t put out a gun that would work reliably. When they moved from their old plant they let all their old workers go and those old guys had babied the old equipment along to make it work. The new guys didn’t know which buttons to push to make the old worn out equipment crank out good product. So they closed down the production of the 1894 and 1895 rifles until all new equipment can be made and tested fully. They hope within a few months to start doing the testing and have guns coming out by next fall. The equipment that makes the model 336s and the model 39s* is newer equipment so they are able to build a few of them, but the emphasis right now is getting the new equipment in and going, and let the Kentucky plant carry them along." I do not have independent knowledge to confirm or deny the statements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
