maybe you could go with me next time.Have you ever bought anything you don't have a problem with?All your posts are something being junk or soft metal and screws twisting off maybe you should take somebody with you when you buy something.
I admitted to not giving it a good look over but in all reality why did it leave the factory with 2 different stocks? it was assembled on a sweat shop assembly line probably by someone getting minimum wage now that freedom group took over and they shoved it in the box. I use to bust my ass for minimum wage landscaping and even though I got paid crap I made sure what I did was right. I own some pretty good cheap stuff like a savage axis that will out shoot a $800 rifle, cva ML that will do the same and a handi rifle that's not too shabby either. yes ive purchases some junk like the bushnell scope that was rated for a shotgun and after about 20 shots it broke. the simmons 22 scope that never tracked since day one, Nikon rings. I read a lot of reviews and ask a lot of questions on here and other shooting sites to make sure I'm getting something good. sometimes its good and sometimes not or my expectations for sometime with the name Nikon or marlin are too high. hell all marlin is known for is lever guns and if they cant get it right then that's my fault?Have you ever bought anything you don't have a problem with?All your posts are something being junk or soft metal and screws twisting off maybe you should take somebody with you when you buy something.
ive wanted a lever action rifle since i was about 14yo when i went on my first deer hunt with a 30-30 but was limited to slug guns in ohio until 3yrs ago they allowed strait walled rifle rounds so being cheap i got a cva 45-70 cause i couldn't afford a marlin at $600. the sale and $100 rebate fogged my better judgement and being a little depressed around birthday Friday so i said screw it and got one. i don't regret getting the rifle itself i regret not waiting for a JM or looking this over real well but IMO we shouldn't have to go over a new rifle with a magnifying glass. ive got a stoeger u/o and Mossberg with better checkering then this thing.No it's not your fault. It's a sign of the times. My marlin 22 is over twenty years old and shoots like a dream. Freedom Group is a curse. Half of everything they buy they ruin.
Well you kind of do. That's what happens now a days. Buy a cheaper heater and it costs more time to look it over or more to square it away. My son had a 30-30 marlin he got for his birthday. It had issues. I think it needed to be gone through and cleaned up. It hit point of aim. But it needed fluffing inside.ive wanted a lever action rifle since i was about 14yo when i went on my first deer hunt with a 30-30 but was limited to slug guns in ohio until 3yrs ago they allowed strait walled rifle rounds so being cheap i got a cva 45-70 cause i couldn't afford a marlin at $600. the sale and $100 rebate fogged my better judgement and being a little depressed around birthday Friday so i said screw it and got one. i don't regret getting the rifle itself i regret not waiting for a JM or looking this over real well but IMO we shouldn't have to go over a new rifle with a magnifying glass. ive got a stoeger u/o and Mossberg with better checkering then this thing.

maybe companies should take a little more time when making things instead of worrying about how cheap they can make them
I decided to buy a Remington/freedom group marlin 1895 45-70. for those that don't know they put out some junk for a few years

The man bought a gun, not a lawn mower. He has every right to expect it to look good as well as function well.wow way to picky heck just enjoy it a tiny bit of wood color doesn't change the way it kills!!
That's right but he looked at it before he bought itThe man bought a gun, not a lawn mower. He has every right to expect it to look good as well as function well.
I got your point last night so lets not get this locked. I just wish marlin would have looked at it before sending it out but its my fault now we shall see if they will fix their faulty work. the color isn't what bothers me its obviously 2 different stocks. one has very deep checkering and the other wont even catch a fingernail.That's right but he looked at it before he bought it
its obviously 2 different stocks.
I got there with about 30min to spare and made sure the action, wood to metal fit, etc was right...
That may be possible too.Not to beat the dead horse but...
Not that Marlin needs defending but there is always the possibility that the rifle didn't leave the factory the same way it is now and the mom & pop store felt they had good chance to get rid of it when they agreed to the "deal" price and will sell the "perfect" one they put together from more than one rifle for a premium now.
I worked at the LGS. Nobody that I knew had that kind of ambition to screw somebody over
If he read all the whining in this thread, he'd put a revolver to his head and pull the triggerWhat is the owner willing to do for this customer to make him happy?
Its my fault 100% for not making 100% sure all was good
