Marlin / L. C. Smith????

[Guy B. Meredith]

Those of you on more than one forum will see this thread repeated as I am very curious about this.

When I went to the Marlin site to look at their .357 magnum lever rifles the Home page had a notice of things to come in 2005 and mentions the return of L. C. Smith.

Anyone have knowledge or comments on this? A new one would not replace the one my grandpappy had that I have tried to pry out of the hands of disinterested relatives, but this does pique my interest.

During the Depression, if memory serves, Marlin ended up owning LC Smith the way Savage neded up with Stevens and Remington with Parker. As for reintros, I've heard the scuttlebutt but seen nothing confirmed.

A cousin has my grandfather's Elsie. It'd be nice to get a new sibling to it.

Go to www.lcsmith.org They were talking about this the other day. They will not be made in America. I can't remember, but I think Italy?
