Marlin From the Bench Updates



SEPTEMBER 1, 2021

From the Bench: Marlin Updates from Ruger

___




As we get closer to the initial release of Marlin rifles from the Mayodan, NC plant, some questions are starting to be answered by Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc.

While some items are still up in the air (in design & development) these three questions have been at least partially answered.

1. Question: Will the receivers be investment cast?
Answer: Marlin has always been machined from forgings and that won't change at Ruger.

2. Question: Are you going to keep the Ballard & Microgroove rifling?
Answer: Ruger is currently testing different rifling profiles however they are very good at making hammer-forged barrels with standard six-groove rifling. Regardless of the final answer, Ruger's objective is to make accurate shooting firearms.

3. Question: Are you going to keep the post 1984 Cross Bolt Safety (CBS)?
Answer: It stays as designed.

While this won't answer everyone's questions it gives some brief insight into what to expect in the Marlin lineup from Ruger. Same dependable receivers, same CBS and still up in the air about which rifling to expect. I'll hang my hat on their response that they will deliver an accurate shooting firearm at the end of the day!
