For a number of months in early in 2020, Ruger had a banner headline on their website advertising for workers. Late last summer, they had billboard ads in Arizona advertising for workers. Late last year, Ruger announced an expansion of their manufacturing foot print in North Carolina.

Here is to hoping they make tons of levers with their Marlin acquisition!!!

From news releases as to when we see Marlin rifles:

Regarding its November acquisition of the Marlin Firearms assets out of the Remington Outdoor bankruptcy, Killoy said Ruger had moved inventory, manufacturing equipment and tooling fixtures to its facilities

"We're still in the process of evaluating these assets, reviewing the product designs and determining the best manufacturing process for each component part," said Killoy. "We have started to establish the manufacturing skills that will produce the Marlin rifles and plan on shipping the first Ruger-made Marlin lever-action rifles from our Maine facility in late 2021. Like many of you, I've been a fan of Marlin products for as long as I can remember; we have heard hundreds of the Marlin faithful and countless firearms consumers who are as excited as we are to have this legendary brand as part of Ruger."

People who makes guns and people who make ammo both must have very secure jobs for now at least.
