First Ruglin

Post by AmBraCol »

That's a lot of people to produce one rifle... :lol: The rumor is that more are on the way.
The moment you've been waiting for is finally here... We are proud to share with you the very first production-built Marlin Model 1895™! Congratulations to the entire Marlin team in our Mayodan, NC facility on this major milestone. Stay tuned for the official release of these production rifles later this year!

Just figure a better way to mount the forends...!

(So they are easy to quickly take off to clean rain and mud off of a heavily used hunting gun, and you can actually get them back on quickly without spending 10 minutes trying to align the screw holes and not strip the screws; maybe put a discreet channel or notch of some sort for a quick detach light or laser for those of us on farms who grab the levergun to go see what a midnight ruckus is all about, too...)

Maybe it’s just me but I don’t have mounting and dismounting issues with forearms. Then again I don’t need special tools, modifications or introduction of new and improved models to reassemble Ruger .22 autos.

I think the forearm retaining method used for over 125 years works pretty darn good myself. But maybe they could go to the 1881 forearm mount that used a single screw crossways through the forearm cap, and the cap tapped on the off side to retain it. Only issue is if some dork tightens the screw too much, it might cost them a new forearm cap instead of just the boss inside that screws thread into.

Doc, I was pleased to see that Facebook prompt, too. I confess I am not a fan of stainless and laminated stocks, but they make sense for those up in the "wet country."
I hope it is not too long before Ruger offers the classic 1895 .45-70 in blue and walnut with a three-quarter magazine and an accurate 22-inch barrel.

Basically two types of gun buyers; the kind who buy their first one. Then maybe another or even two down the road.
Then there's the buyer like most of us here. Who buy them consistently year after year (or more often) throughout most of their life. Keep em, sell em, whichever, but they keep coming.

Ruger see's the unofficially dubbed "Wind River" model sold well, so they're starting with that. I figure most of the people who bought them were the first type of customer. They may find however the flavor of the month has faded out of fashion.

Meanwhile people like me have been wondering how you buy a 1894 in 357 or 41 mag for the last decade and a half or more. Though maybe they think the customers like me will always be here. Dunno.

I'll believe the Marlin(s) are in actual production when I see the "new" Marlins on my local dealer's rifle rack....
The most important aspect of this signature line is that you don't realize it doesn't say anything significant until you are just about done reading it & then it is too late to stop reading it....
