They had so many returns that they stopped production for a while until they got them sorted out. There won't be any more New Haven made Marlins so they can only go up in value.

It'll have "JM" stamped on the barrel if it's a pre-Remington.

I had one a couple years ago, sold it, now I want it back... Get it.
