From a manufacturing standpoint, the company has set up a stand-alone Marlin factory within the Ilion plant, with its own designated managers, workforce, and assemblers, people who are committed and invested in the Marlin brand. Sorry but Henry did not make the first but I will grant you that they have heritageThe first lever action was made by Volcano Firearms and they were made with both cast iron and brass receiversAn old boss of mine owned one at one time and I think he told me there was less that 20 of them left in existence and his was the only one with a iron receiver.Winchester borrowed it from him and put it on display since they had never seen one with the iron receiverAlso Henrys are a decent firearm however I never bought one because I too felt that they were over priced even when I could getem for $300 back in the day I could get a Winchester for less.. Ive been involved in transferring manufacturing processes and equipment oversees (from Asia back to Texas in my case) and its never easy. Pointed bullets resting against primers posed a hazard during recoil. Probably much better in the hands of a real marksman. With about 10% less case capacity that the .338 Federal, perhaps Hornady and Marlin could be persuaded to offer a medium bore cartridge (a ".338 Marlin Express") that holds MV to 2400-2450 fps with a 200 grain bullet (BC .250) and recoil to the 20 ft. lb. Eother way they are great rifles and worth the price for a non-FG Marlin. It could probably be rectified with some elbow grease, but then Id have to refinish the stock. If Hornady's LEVERevolution ammo hasn't compelled you to give John Mahlon Marlin's classic big-game rifles another look, maybe the new .338 Marlin Express will. I just purchased my first Marlin 1895 GS 45/70, not realizing that Remington acquired Marlin. The .338 Marlin Express has plenty of power, the FTX bullet is good and tough, but 2,500 fps is good only up to a point. Walther's new Performance Duty Pistol is ready for both concealed carry and conventional service situations. I just bought last month a Marlin Limited Edition model 1895 in 45/70 Govt. Very Good . sadly, i think the same. Their Henry original is the rifle they should have designed in the first place, and Id buy one, but not at $2300. I hunted both elk and moose with the .338 ME, with awesome accuracy and performance. Here's a video review from a guy that says it all. Several trips over a couple of months punctuated by very careful filing of the extractor and testing at the range before it was working 100% with all ammo types. . You can always find one in a gun store. Doesn't bode well for this cartridge either. How big a sh*thead do you have to be to f*ck up a decades old, proven design? But okay being a woman we can be picky but I bought this puppy because of a few diff reasons but one was the esthetics of the wood for Stock and Foreend. Maybe. Google Marlin front sight issues you get 100s of complaints.. .. but it is smooth on sliding surfaces I knew the sights would be marginal going in, and had planned to upgrade them and add a 1.5-5x scout scope anyway, so I dont really have any complaints about that. Make sure your search is specific enough to get the correct value. The rifling twist for almost all modern .338 cartridges is 1 turn in 10 inches, which should also be suitable for the .338 Marlin, although a 1 in 12 twist would probably also work well. And that is after 4 bx ammo over three trips. You can also check the serial number, if it has an RM prefix then it it a Remlin. The older gun is a really nice firearm, with beautiful wood, nice checkering, good fit and finish, and nothing on it is loose. Good! And, its not even that old.
