We have received word that our awesome importer for Ruger products, Korth Group, has their first shipment of Ruger- Marlins on the way!
Ruger is sending them FIVE (5) SBL 1895's in 45-70. That's it. When will see more? Don't know. What do you do with the first five guns into the country? Give them away! Well kind of...
Here is an excerpt from their email to their dealers:
1895 Auction and Raffle
To our valued family, friends, and dealer partners, we are pleased to announce that the first shipment of Ruger’s new Marlin produced 1895 Lever Action Rifle,
chambered in 45-70 GOVT, is expected to arrive in the next few weeks!
Now for the sad news, our first shipment of Marlin is incredibly limited –
we are expecting only 5 rifles.
5 RIFLES?!?!
What do we do with only 5 rifles?
We'll Give Them Away!
We decided to send four Marlin's off to Elevate Auctions.

Auction will run from Friday, April 8th at 10:00am MST
to Sunday, May 1st at 4:00pm MST
All proceeds from the auction* will be donated to two Canadian non-profit organizations that are passionate about supporting our sport and those that fought, and continue to fight, for our Freedom. We firmly believe in supporting both organizations, as they are working tirelessly to ensure the future of our industry, and the wellbeing of those that served our Country.
The organizations are:
[Drum Roll Please]
Canadian Coalition for Firearms Rights
AND
Wounded Warriors Canada
Each organization will receive 50% of the auction proceeds.
To provide the greatest opportunity for donations, we will run this auction nationally to any Business or person with a valid BFL/PAL.
Our Goals?
Raise funding for the CCFR and Wounded Warriors Canada
AND
An Exciting Introduction of the Very 1st Ruger Made Marlin
You may be asking yourself, what happened to the 5th Rifle?
Our question was how do we keep our Business Partners engaged in this idea?
Answer: Raffle Time!
YES! You are correct: we will raffle the 5th Rifle
to one of you, our valued Business Partners !!!
Korth Group sincerely thanks you for your support of the Marlin Auction, and we also want to extend appreciation from the CCFR and Wounded Warriors.
PS. Word of mouth is powerful, feel free to pass this information along to anyone who would enjoy the Auction event.
KGL Team
*Note: All proceeds less Auction costs will be donated to CCFR and Wounded Warriors.
So long story short, I am sharing this link with all you wonderful people on CGN to have your crack at the auctions for the first batch of guns!
