Older Marlins. Remington Arms Company in December 26, 2007 entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Marlin Firearms Company, Inc. ("Marlin"). Guns after 2008 "can" be suspect in QC,especially after Marlin workers found out that the Marlin plant was to be shut down and operations moved to Ilion NY.
Guns closer to the move date and those coming out of the Remington plant are the most suspect.
I recently examined several 336 30-30s and 35 Remington's and several new 45-70 GG and they were terrible in fit and finish.The walnut is almost dry looking and void of any life. Numerous gaps in wood to metal fit. Numerous tool marks and amateurish fitting of simple parts.
