Alpo Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Chrysler bought Jeep. I never heard one referred to as a Chreep. They are still a Jeep. Whether they were made by Willis. Whether they were made by AMC. Or whether they are made by Chrysler. They're a Jeep. Savage bought Stevens. Did anyone ever call the guns Savens? Holly carburetor used to own Colt. Did anyone call them a Holt? There will be, I am sure, jerks out there that wish to combine the names. Like Bragelina. But hopefully most people will call them Marlins.

Use less syllables live longer. Kind of like those people that are convinced that you only have so many heartbeats available until you die. The Brangelina thing is people stooping to the lowest common denominator of intelligence, or lack thereof. Perhaps bastardizing names is a similar thing.

The "Remlin" tag came along as a method of differentiating between pre Remington ownership of Marlin and post ownership. The Remington made Marlins have a "REM" stamp on the barrel.

It eliminates the need for idiots to think before the act. “Just walk across the street without looking, it’s the drivers responsibility not to hit you, not yours to make sure there is no motor vehicle traffic.” I am amazed that there are not more people who are “dead right” lying in the streets of our cities. Fortunately I don’t live in a City. I case you haven’t figured it out, this is a pet peeve of mine! Will I now be chastised for venting a political view?

Nah, that was simply stooping down to the IQ level of Brad and Angelina. Bennifer as well. I have high hopes for the new Ruglins (sorry), but considering how Ruger's own QC has gone downhill in the last decade or so I'm a little nervous.

A smython is a Smith & Wesson with a python barrel on it. A smolt is also a Smith & Wesson with a python barrel on it. A Studillac is a Studebaker with a Cadillac engine in it. Not a python made by Smith & Wesson (that is a model 586). Not a Cadillac made by Studebaker instead of by General Motors. It is a mixture of the two. Mossberg, for a while, made replacement barrels for Remington shotguns. I suppose if you put one of these Mossberg made barrels on your 870 you could refer to your 870 as a Remberg. If Marlin, as a company, was still in business, and made replacement shotgun barrels for Remington, then you're YOUR Remington shotgun with a Marlin barrel on it could certainly be called a remlin. Are you going to start referring to CCI ammunition as FedCI, because the company that owns Federal also owns CCI? That would be quite stupid, wouldn't it. How about Cheviac, because the company don't THAT OWNS Chevrolet also owns Pontiac? Should we start calling office supply stores Office Demax, because Office Depot bought Office Max?

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I am praying, and hoping, to call them: "excellent, quality, traditional, on a par with the JM Marlins". If they do turn out an excellent rifle, on a par with the old JM Marlins, then they earn the right to be called "Marlin". Anything less, they just might as well not reintroduce them. They have a lot to make up for, from the Remington versions. We shall see....at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Remlin ,,, Gremlins is what was mostly made by Remington, So smiths started calling them Remlins..... I trust that Ruger will make them up to snuff and we can go back to calling them Marlins. No mention of pay scale but the job sounds intriguing ( short time only ) for this old Smith .... Too far away to really consider and I need another job like a hole in the head ... Jabez Cowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 THE AMERICAN BANTAM CO. designed the Jeep. Between the time that bids were taken and the contract was to be awarded, they went out of business. GM, Willys, Ford, Studebaker, and several other smaller manufacturers were contracted to build and assemble the Jeep, (a bastardization of “GP”, the military designation for “general purpose” vehicle. Postwar civilian Jeeps were made by Willys and Kaiser, again using parts manufactured by GM and Ford and by several other automotive parts manufacturers. Kaiser and Willys merged for a short time and eventually American Motors/Rambler took over Jeep production. Later, Chrysler bought out AMC, merged for a while with Daimler, split off and was assumed by Fiat/Allis Chalmers, and now belongs to who knows, this week! Through all of this, with extreme variations in quality, it’s still been Jeep!! In the sixties, Harley Davidson was acquired by AMF, a sporting goods manufacturer. While often ridiculed and derided, the AMF Harleys were vastly improved during that period! Disc brakes, improved fuel systems, VASTLY improved electrical systems, better suspension, and modern ignition were just the major upgrades. The Davidson family then bought the company back and “went public” by offering stock in the company. Because of AMF, Harley Davidson has survived. Marlin has endured the same kind of history!! The company has changed hands numerous times. When Remington took over, the Marlin production facility was at the end of its useful life. Each gun was hand tuned to pass minimum acceptable standards. Basically, gunsmithed enough to be sold. To make one competitive, it needed more work, just like a Winchester, a Pedersoli, a Winchester clone produced by any of the European manufacturers, the Rossi/Taurus clones, and even the new Miroku rifles sold under the Winchester name! Now the tooling and machinery has been replaced/updated and a new facility is in operation. Ruger will profit from the work that Remington did, if they are willing to support the brand and finish the process. I have and still shoot Marlin shotguns from the 1898 line! I ride one of those AMF Harleys and it has over 1/3 of a million miles on it! I also have and am rebuilding a 1960 Jeep. I drove it into the shop where I started work on it! If it weren’t for these other companies stepping in and keeping these brands alive, ya’s wouldn’t have new products to ridicule and bitch about!! For me? I’m glad they did step up!! Nothing that has come out of all this change is really a bad thing. Those products are still here and still available!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Well I'm still waiting to see what the first CZolts are going to look like. I hope the "new" Marlin brings back the rimfires, as those were among the best guns they made. I'd like to see the Model 60 brought back with the longer barrel and full-length magazine tube like it was pre-1989. A resurrected Model 39A of course would be really sweet, but unless they can come up with a less expensive way to make it (that won't turn buyers off) that one might never see the light of day again.

J.D. Daily Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 You can credit Remington for moving the Marlin centerfire lever gun manufacturing into the 21st century, which is the only way to make a high-quality firearm at an affordable price. Remington went tango uniform before they could recoup the investment. P.S. Since Ruger bought everything Marlin except for the facilities, I would expect that they will put the Marlin name on these rifles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
