Been reading up on the marlin owners forum about lever action rifles. Trying to decide on either a 1894 or 336 stainless as a natural partner to my NMB 357 stainless. Leaning towards the 336. It seems that Marlin lever actions have a similar following on that forum that the Blackhawks/Super Blackhawks/etc. have over here. Probably some of the same folks from both forums. Anyways, there is alot of talk and worry over there about the fact that Marlin (formerly a family owned company) has been purchased by Remington, which in turn is owned by some outfit names Cerebus (sp?). The worry is that quality will suffer and the rifle will be cheaponed. All understandable concerns. Started thinking how neat it would have been for Ruger to have purchased them instead of Remington. Seems to me that it would have been a natural fit, ie one stop shopping for your traditional six shooters and lever guns. Oh well. By the way, any marlin forum members over here too? Thanks.
