Additionally, Mic has personally seen 3 rifles and of those, two would not function at all....the last five Marlin lever-actions he received from his suppliers(various models) would not cycle factory ammunition of any make or style. He sent three of those back for repair at Marlin, those were returned to him with so-called repairs made -- all three still failed to work with any ammunition tested. He returned all five to the distributor and has refused further shipments.
Have any of you had personal or first hand experiences of current Marlin rifles, hopefully positive ones? I don't mean this to be a "Marlin bashing" thread or topic, but as a consumer I would like to know before I spend my hard earned money on a new Marlin.
Thanks for your input.
