Buddy in our hunting group just shared this today.

I have high hopes that Ruger will de-remmington them and do it right.

Marlin may be back... But I sure the quality is not what A JM stamped 336 is....

I don't know, Ruger is capable of far better quality than Rem was. I'll have to get one in my hands before I cast judgement.

The ruger made guns are better than any marlin built in the last 100 years jm stamped or otherwise. I have owned pretty much every model of marlin from the 1893 to the 336. Rugers fit finish and machining on these guns is fantastic. I sold my jm 1895 and a remington 1895 and bought a ruger made 1895 sbl with money left over to spare to buy a second one.
The ruger is a better gun. The blueing on the new 336 and 1894's at shotshot look better than new haven has ever made. I think the jm marlins will always hold a collectors market, however the need to seek out a jm gun just to have a nice marlin is over.
If ruger marlin ever makes a 336 cowboy limited in 38-55 ill dump my jm copy of that rifle as well. Same goes for my 1894 cowboy in 45 colt.

Better sell while the premium is high then. Wonder how much I could get for my 39As that's in primo condition?

Check gb. However ruger hasnt confirmed if the 39a will be coming back. The ceo has hinted that it is a future project a few times

I think the JMs will keep their collector value, just because of nostalgia and the "they ain't makin' any more" factor.
I have no doubt Ruger will produce very good quality Marlins for the foreseeable future.
