Here in WA state both are considered assault rifles. The Marlin 60 doesn't get a pass for being tube-fed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, how do you tell the difference between an original Marlin, a Remlin, and a Rumlin without a goofy nickname? Easy. The Ruger-owned Marlins will come with a huge rollmark on the barrel reminding you to read the owners manual, wash behind your ears and eat your veggies.

The Marlins built in the last 2-3 years have been pretty decent. I haven’t heard any complaints from people that have bought them. I am talking 1894, 1895 and 336 models.

Yup, California may lead the nation in asinine gun laws, but thanks to the language in WA's I-1639 law all semi-automatic rifles regardless of type, caliber or capacity are considered assault weapons. So if the antis pass an assault weapons ban next year they'll eliminate not just AK-47s but even that old 1940s Winchester .22 in your closet.

Chantry Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Outside of SASS the market for a SxS is almost non-existent and filled on the lower end by Stoeger & CZ, on the higher end by mostly Italian makers and at the "that costs more than my house!" level by English makers. I shoot skeet weekly and there are maybe 3 or 4 people who occasionally shoot a double, most of the time they shoot either a semi-auto or O/U. I am the only one who shoots a SxS on a regular basis.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 I agree with Chantry. I am the only one I EVER saw shoot a double at my trap range. That was my Browning, before I sold it. Maybe Ruger could clean up a few issues Marlin and Remington did not address. I am thinking the Marlin Jam issue, and Extractors in the Marlin 39A.

Several of the federal proposals/revised proposals in recent years have wording to exclude fixed tube magazine rifles in .22 caliber. One I read also excluded .17 caliber fixed tube, who makes one in a semiautomatic? 39 minutes ago, Crooked River Pete, SASS 43485 said: I had a Ruger SXS in my hands, had the money to buy it, but it was 12 ga and I wanted a 20.

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Okay....I've got three older J.M. Marlin's, to compare to the new ones that Ruger will build. Let's all hope against hope that Ruger does it right, this time. I have two Ruger rifles that are not lever actions. They seem to be very high quality. One is an older bolt action, in .220 Swift, and one is a Number 1 single shot, in 30-06. If these Ruger rifles are any indication, I have great hopes that the Marlin's, made by Ruger, will be quality firearms. W.K.

Noz Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I am not accepting offers for my Marlin 1894 FG. For those of you that don't speak Marlin, an 1894 FG be a .41 Mag. It is a sweet little light rifle that it takes a forensic team to tell whether the visible wound resulting from a firing is from the front or back end. A 260gr long nose flat point over about all the W296 you can get in a case satisfies most desires for recoil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
