What does the group this `Will Marlin Firearms Survive`

I am sure they will be back if they don't comeback somebody must want the marlin name what its quality will be time will tell

Anything can happen. I hate to loose historical options in the gun market. Marlin is a really good workhorse product. I know they made some high end stuff too but their claim to fame has been the ability to sell with-in the average hunter's budget and did a great job.

I don't know if you guys know this or not but Marlin is owned by Remington. Remington is moving the Marlin plant to the Remington plant, for some reason that I don't know.

I hadn't heard that!

Labor costs

If they move production I would bet it is to the Remington southern plants that are non union. I read one of the problems with Marlin was their high hourly costs for labor.

Karl

I hadnt heard that either WisconsinDeer. The Marlin brand will still be around for years to come I think.

On this subject Knight is back!!!

A few years ago Savage was almost belly up. Savage has made a remarkable comeback. Heres hoping Marlin can do the same.Every time we lose a big gun manufacturer its scary and a win for the antigun gun movement.

Marlin Status

I second the above post. Marlin was bought about 5 years ago. They're not closing, just moving as far as I know. The local Dick's and Cabela's are still getting new guns from them.
