    Default Ruger Successfully Acquires Marlin in the Remington Bankruptcy

    Long Live The Lever Gun! Ruger Announces Plans for Marlin Firearms


    Ruger Successfully Acquires Marlin Firearms From RemingtonIn a press release on September 30th Ruger president and CEO Chris Killoy said in regards to the acquisition of Marlin: ?The brand aligns perfectly with ours and the Marlin product portfolio will help us widen our already diverse product offerings.?

    Many of you were wondering what would come of the long-lived brand of popular firearms like the model 60 rifle as well as some of Marlin?s bigger centerfire lever-action rifles. Well, you?ll be happy to know that despite any concerns that Ruger plans on maintaining the Marlin Brand and its existing products. Chris Killoy put it best in the press release when he said:
    ?Long Live the Lever Gun?
    I'm hoping that Ruger puts the quality in that Remington managed to take out.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    Not sure, But they're running 3 shifts, 7 days a week and having a massive hiring campaign

    However, people i know have said, ruger treats their employees like crap , low[er] pay and longggggggg hours. The up side is 2-3 guns per year. Now if only they'd increase production foe the 22lr & 9mm charger

    This is probably about the best outcome possible for those that like Marlin rifles.

    Also in the bankruptcy, Vista acquired Remington Ammunition.

    That means they now control 3 of the 4 major primer manufacturers in the country.

    Sounds like a potential SPF (single point of failure). Especially from gov action.

    I was really hoping PSA would win the bid for the ammo side.
