(I didn't go over to ) to check up on latest, but that's the place for more definitive answers to some of the transition factoids. Which is why I ask again, did they say KY or NY on them, or CT?Īlso remember, the Dicks and Wally models are the W or A models, and have been since forever, which are not walnut as in the plain 336, which still commands about a $50 price differential just because of the wood alone. And the lighter stock has been mentioned for a good long while, so I don't think that has anything to do with new plant production, but more about changing wood vendors for the birch along the way, and/or a change in how they are finished. There is also the possibility that there are left over barrels from various calibers that will be put on guns, in other words will say North Haven but rest of gun made/assembled in the new locations.Īnd btw, folks over on have been decrying the Marlin slip in fit and finish since Remington bought the company at end of 2007, and started called them 'Remlins' even then. Friend Garufa also just acquired same model, and his barrel, made in North Haven, has no identifying stamp at all. This would seem to indicate that many were stamped this way after Remington bought Marlin, but long before the plant was moved. I just recently acquired a new Model 60SB, seems to date to 2009, and mine says made in North Haven, but has 'RP' on barrel. Also, the barrel stamping is not as simple as you say.

He could have been dead wrong or they have now just started shipping.ģ. Where did they say they were made? Talked to a fellow not long ago that said they haven't shipped the first lever gun in any caliber yet from the new locations is reason I asked.

You didn't say about the 336's you handled. Dunno if all 60's are gonna come out of there or not.Ģ. At least one new Marlin 60 I know of had the Mayfield, KY on it. The true Marlin's will have 'North Haven, CT' stamped on them or 'New Haven, CT' stamped the barrel for the older ones.įew initial comments from a 336A, 1897c, and model 60 owner.ġ. They may all have 'Ilion, NY' stamped on them, this needs to be verified. The new Marlin's will have either 'Ilion, NY' or 'Mayfield, KY' stamped on the barrel for their build location. The true Marlin's will have 'North Haven, CT' stamped on them or 'New Haven, CT' stamped the barrel for the older ones. Remington made Marlin's will have a 'REM' stamped in the same spot. Marlin's made in the North Haven factory will have a 'JM' stamped on the barrel where the barrel meets the stock. My 1965 Marlin Golden 39A has 'AA' at the beginning of its serial number. The older Marlin rifles will have a couple letters at the start of the serial number.

#MARLIN FIREARMS SERIAL NUMBERS 19241 HOW TO#

I just want to thank Freedom Group for trashing an American icon.įor those who would like to know how to tell a difference between a Remlin and a real Marlin (besides the crappy quality) here are some ways to do that: I don't think the new Remlin's are deserving of the Marlin name. I know that some of you likely have no issues with the new Marlin's being made by Remington, but I do not share that viewpoint. It's a shame what Remington has done to this brand. Despite this, the price is still $449.00. Also, the stock was not mated nearly as well with the barrel as my Marlin. It was coarse in spots and the ends of the stock hadn't even been smoothed out. Once the store employee put it in my hand I realized I was holding a totally different gun. It was much lighter in color than the stock on my Marlin 336. I could tell from a distance that the wood was different. They happened to have 3 brand new Marlin 336's there. So today I took a trip to Dick's Sporting Goods, so I could hold one of them. Before buying a Marlin 336W from a fellow member yesterday I started researching quality issues being experienced by owners of the new Marlin's. Since the North Haven, CT Marlin manufacturing facility was closed in 2011 all the new Marlin rifles are made in Ilion, New York & Mayfield, KY. Mainly because until a couple days ago I had absolutely no idea that Marlin rifle's were now being made by Remington. I feel like this is a thread that needed to be started.
