Remlin issues over now!

I have copied this from another forum for the benefit of those on here. Credit to Baldie Dave at Valkyrie for the original post!

Then you have the 1894 which is the original Marlin, and the gun that won the west [forget the winchester ] This is a smaller action and eminently more suitable for extremely fast shooting with the smaller cartridges like .38/357 and 44magnum.
They can be tuned very well indeed. My conversions can be male chickened, from fired with your little finger. Triggers can be tuned, etc etc.
The "Remlins" that have plagued us for the last couple of years have thankfully been sorted and marlin are now producing decent firearms again.
Unfortunatly the .44 production has still stopped i believe, due to recalibration etc, to sort out the same problems the 357 had.
None at the importers and none due.
Ring round the dealers and you may find one however.
If you buy s/h , male chicken the hammer and look inside the action. If it has a series of dots, thats a computer generated ID that remington [the marlin owners ] use. You need to see the gun shot, or cycled with dummies before you buy. If it doesn,t have these marks, then its an older marlin, and you can buy with confidence.
