Ruger announces plans for new Marlins

[CountryGent]

Still hoping they'll make one in .480 Ruger or .500 S&W Magnum.

 

[ZigZagZeke]

Good to hear center-fire leverguns are the priority.

Glad to hear that forged receivers and cold hammered barrels will still be used. I've been wanting a Marlin SBL .45-70 for a long time.

Camp Carbine. otherwise...

Camp Carbine. otherwise...

They night have considered this if they weren't already making the PCC!

 

[monkeybutler]

I'd really like to see the features of the 'dark' series but not the look. Anything 'tactical' looking in a lever gun looks silly and reminds me of that Mossberg abomination -



EEEEEW!

 

[RVTECH]

and reminds me of that Mossberg abomination -

These literally defy comprehension. It's like Mossberg made these as a joke, on a dare, or a bet to see how many would actually buy them.

Stainless threaded small loop pistol grip laminated stock 1894css in 38/357, stainless threaded small loop pistol grip laminated stock 1895 in 45-70.
picatinny base on both.

those are the only two they need.
CEO did miss the boat.

Yeah, I have even less interest in that, and no 45.

 

[RVTECH]

Yeah, I have even less interest in that, and no 45.

Oh, I had to buy one out of curiosity when they first came out.

I had shot one of the originals years ago and 'kind of' always wanted one but never got serious about it until the new model came out. I actually like it as a novelty - and it does shoot better than I expected.

An Camp-45 with the bugs worked out, but still feeding from 1911 magazines and a wood stock would be a delight.

Good! I'm not a 9 guy. I have 9s, but they don't do a whole lot for me. A Camp Carbine in 45, with synth stock would be fine. The Marlin wood stocks tended to crack at the wrist, I've heard. That's where the buttstock on my 444 cracked, but it had a little more provocation.

And the magwells are getting brittle and cracking on the originals as well.

I came close to buying one new around 1998-99 if I recall and that was about the end of them as well.

I later considered a few used ones I had came across but then learned about the brittle magwells and forgot about it altogether.

When they release a lever action .357 it may end up being the last gun I'll ever need...until the next the next time I go gun shopping

I've got a couple, but I'd eagerly buy another.

 

[OldBroad44]

I want one in .44 mag with a threaded barrel. It would be great to shoot .44 sp with a silencer.

 

[RVTECH]

It would be great to shoot .44 sp with a silencer.

Probably be great to shoot without one as well!

EEEEEW!

Whoever did that is going straight to you know where.

 

[po18guy]

OK, I'd settle for a 99 M-1, but that would cut into daddy's 10-22.

 

[RVTECH]

OK, I'd settle for a 99 M-1,

Oh man! I had forgotten about these until you brought it up! And haven't seen one in a long time!

 

[po18guy]

I know they would sell - at least two of them anyway. With the current interest in M-1 carbines, I'm surprised that Ruger has not produced a 10-22 M1. If they kill the 99, at least they could have the decency to sell the rights to another manufacturer.
