Rumour is a company in Thailand,Royal Armories,makes military goods is interested. All workers in the NY plant were furloughed on Thursday
Honestly, there are a lot worse places Marlin could have wound up. While Ruger does make some cheap junk they are equally capable of delivering good quality at reasonable prices. If they put even 50% the effort into Marlin that they do into the No1 it will easily surpass the Remington era. Interested to see if the 39A makes a return to reasonable pricing.

Idle speculation at this point -
A Real Estate holding company bought the Remington designs and production facility - not a good sign for employees, though there is room for many twists and turns.
The employees most likely to come out OK are those in the Lonoke Ammunition plant, a thriving profitable business, which is being bought by a very large ammo producer.
Ruger has its own highly skilled employees - you can bet only a few key Marlin staff will join Ruger. Ruger is buying a few successful designs and a market niche.

What’s a Remlin?
It's a nickname Marlin rifles produced by Remington received. Remington bought out Marlin and closed the original factory, then moved production of Marlin products to its own facility. There were quality control issues that never were fully resolved.
X2 for me
Now there is an interesting thought! I'll take flak for saying it, but if Bergara bought up Remington, I might actually be caught with one. I like the Bergara rifles, but they are a bit on the heavy side for the most part.
