With Ruger being the major 327 gun manufacturer, and Marlin being known as the lever action company, can their merger produce a 327 lever action gun?
I own a Marlin 1894, Rossi 1892 Stainless Steel, Rossi 92 Blued, all in .357 mag, which of course will also use .38 special, They are fun to use, accurate, light weight, easy to carry and can put some serious firepower down range if needed. I think Jeff Cooper called them "The Bronx Assault rifle!" because everything else was banned in NYC.I have never owned a lever action. I'd seriously consider one made by Ruger if it's in a caliber I already have, like 41 Mag, 357, or 44.
I like MarlinSo what do you guys like better in a lever action: Marlin or Winchester. I've always preferred Winchester, especially now that the Miroku plant does such a nice job. Of course, Marlins side-eject is a winner for those who mount a scope.
It would be nice but I think it's going to be awhile if ever. I recently sold my Marlin 336 30-30 and it needed an external part # that I couldn't find on any schematic. I called Ruger and they didn't have a clue. Had to go to a couple of Marlin groups before I got the answer. Looks like right now just making 45-70.View attachment 14233
I love lever actions, especially Marlins. I really hope Ruger does the Marlin name proud.
Lever actions pair so well with single action revolvers. The Ruger / Marlin is a match made in heaven.
