JMHO but it seemed optimistic when they initial said it. I will be surprised if we see a new Marlin in time for deer season this year.

......"The CEO also said it looked forward to returning Marlin lever-action rifles, shown lead photo, which it plans to ship in the fourth quarter. Sturm, Ruger & Co. acquired the Marlin assets from Remington Outdoor Company in a $30 million deal that closed in November 2020 and was approved through bankruptcy proceedings.
“It will be a limited offering,” Killoy shared. “Initially, we’ll start with the model 1895, 1894 and the 336. Certainly not every model and SKU that our customers are looking for. It will take us a while to bring all of Marlin back to its full glory, but we’re excited about it. And, again, the focus is on those centerfire lever action SKUs in the beginning. The team has been doing a great job on that.” He said the company has been “delighted with the overwhelming interest and support received from Marlin fans.”
Killoy said that it is looking at the Marlin business almost as a new products business due to the amount of work that went into re-starting production.
“They were around for a long time in their former lives, but they’re certainly brand new to Ruger, and the amount of effort going into that is, frankly, a little staggering,” Killoy said. “The team has been doing a fantastic job when you think about standing up the supply chain, going through part by part, making sure every machine is up to speed—lots of work needed to be done. On a previous call, you may have heard me; we talked about over 100 tractor-trailer loads of machinery equipment, work in process, and parts coming our way. It’s been a big task, and a big undertaking down in Mayodan.”
Killoy said the brand was starting from scratch. “We got some machinery, some work in process, some raw materials, some parts, but we needed to stand up that line down in our facility in Mayodan, NC,” he detailed. “We’re working through that process. The guns we will be making in shipping in the fourth quarter will be parts and materials that we’ve made in the line, not things that we inherited or picked up in the sale. We’re excited about it. It’s been going great. We’ve got a great team in Mayodan. And, frankly, what’s been exciting for me is watching the level of effort expended by our other factories in Newport and Prescott, AZ, helping with the launch in Mayodan. We’ve got teams of engineers in those facilities working on small parts, working on wood stocks, things like that, and all of that’s going to combine to a great relaunch of Marlin in the fourth quarter.”..........

As someone employed in manufacturing Maintanece and mro given the current job and supplies market starting up anything like this before the end of 21 is extremely optimistic in my opinion.

I heard rumors over on marlinowners that the first thing they made was going to me a stainless 336. If it's threaded, sign me up. I'd love a hunting rifle I could abuse. I keep thinking of threading my 336 texan I saved from abuse and brought back to life....

At first I was thinking, really, the 375? But Ruger has a long history of dealer exclusives in special run chamberings so I guess it is possible.
Levermatic….probably not going to happen.
I mainly want a proper twist 1894 in 44 Mag and 45 Colt in stainless and wood.
30-30s can wait a few years IMO.

Levermatic I had in .30 Carbine worked fine with commercial ammo, but had extraction problems with some military issue .30 Carbine ammo especially European headstamped 7.62x33mm. 1970s .30 Carbine ammo was actually hard to find.

I really want a 336ss. BUT, I will for sure wait at least a year after Ruger puts them out before buying one…maybe 2

They’ve already stated they have no plans to bring back the 39A.
As long as they can get some proper wood and walnut 94 .357s out with acceptable quality, I will buy one.

No CURRENT plans. We've done that at my job. Tell customers there are no current plans for something. Because we have no idea when we'd actually get it done.

Thanks a lot. I was happy not even knowing there was such a thing as the Levermatic. Now I really want one.

Not sure of any updates, but back in July Ruger had several listings for jobs at the Mayodan NC location, including
"lever action assembly technician"
I'm hoping they will come through with some new production Marlins in the near future.
