Regarding Marlin lever action rifles...
I'm aware of the QC issues after Remington bought Marlin and I can understand how this would make Pre-Remington versions more desirable and, therefore, pricier if the condition is identical. However, I've been seeing some used (very nice ones) Pre-Remington Marlins being advertised (not here) priced higher than factory new rifles that are otherwise identical. These are not "rare"... just typical/common pre-owned rifles.
What am I missing?
