Marlin went thru the initial sell out to the Freedom Group, the quality wasn't as good as it should have been but it was due to worn out machinery. The head people were smart. They shut the plant down, bought all new equipment and they stayed shut down for over 6 months, until they had everything the way it should be. Then the Marlins that came out of the new plant were as good if not better than the old plant guns. A lot of "experts" jumped on the internet and started the JM crap that any gun without the JM proof mark was bad which was total BS. The guns from the new plant are now and have been excellent guns.
