Is Marlin bringing back the 35 rem and the 444?

My suggestion is to handle first hand any new Marlin you desire.
I just had an experience today that left me awwwwstuck.
Can pretty much say I sure won't be ordering any new Marlin
336 on line unless I can see if in 3D first.
Olie fruck..........

I'll second that and stick with my old JM irons.

The Remlins may be getting better but I prefer the real thing to the couple I've handled.

The 'painted on' pressed checkering is still pretty crappy on many of the new Remlin 336s.
Marlin would be better served making them without checkering like they used to rather than the 2-dimensional pressed checkering I've seen on recently manufactured 336Cs and 336SSs.
I won't buy a Marlin sight unseen that I can't inspect, handle and function test prior to purchase.
 
I just bought an 1895 in 45-70 that is a remlin. From the barrel code it was made in 2014.....absolutely beautiful. Wood to metal fitment is nice, checkering crisp enough on the outlines to be laser cut. not one blemish and cycles smoothly.

Pfft! Luck has nothing to do with it. There were some transitional growing pains,but,Marlin is back,BIG TIME,with it's traditional full line,even though it's owned by a conglomerate of companies. Sales are excellent. Warranty recalls and returns are very low showing excellent product reliability.

First one out had the loading gate scratched all tuh fruck.
Did the proof thing and after a couple cycles I broke it.

This^^^ I walked away from a 1895 after handling it. Seconding the don't buy a Marlin online recommendation. Go handle the one you want first and check it out carefully.
 
Better forget Marlin, they are still producing sh*t!

My recently (3 weeks ago) bought 1895 CB came with an eyesore mismatching wiggling loose wood set and razor sharp metal parts.
Went straight back.

Marlin must be the absolute WORST firearms manufacturer there is, NO Quality control whatsoever!
The fit and finish couldn't be worse if done in a first year kindergarten wood working shop.
If you want to have a good Laugh or Cry, then check out their so called wood checkering, I have no words for this kind of garbage, except "if you can't do it, don't do it"!

Ever wondered why they have no email address, a standard for every company nowadays?

:agree:
No quality control at the factory.
What rolls off the Ilion NY assembly line goes into a box whether it is a good gun or a piece of junk.
I'll buy a Marlin only after I have checked it over thoroughly.

Got one last year with so much play in the lever it rattled.
Went right back to the store.
No excuse for a gun like that being allowed to leave the factory.

Marlin exists in name only these days. The once proud company that built quality firearms for decades is no more.
You are talking about a different company all together.

It may say Marlin, but it's not a Marlin. Look for the JM stamp if you are concerned about quality.
