Marlin Firearms closing?

[Oldbird13]

I just received an e-mail from a nephew that said George Soros is closing Marlin. Any truth? He is behind Cerberus Capital (I believe) and a huge Obeyme supporter and gun activist.

I believe this is false. The email has been around for at least several months now. Freedom Group owns Marlin and they are gun owners. George Soros, despite this email, has nothing to do with them.

Stand corrected. Thanks.

Marlin and Winchester are my favorite two lever actions. I can't imagine a world without Marlin Firearms.

Sorry Marlin as I knew it died when Cerberus bought it. Remington is also dead to me now. So are smith and wesson revolvers with a hillary hole.

Good thing there are millions of pre cerberus marlins and remingtons around for me to buy on the used market.
Lots of non hole smiths also.

I was by their plant in New Haven? , CT, this spring. It was shuttered.

I've got a newer Marlin 795 that is the best, most accurate .22 rifle I've owned. The best part is that I paid only 100 bucks new! I've also got a Remington R15 that is a hog killing tack driver. My latest is a Remington R1s. I just put 100 rounds through it tonight. Pure fun and 3 good guns.

I've got no problem with Marlin, Remington, or Cerberus.

They are owned by Freedom Arms Group. Who also owns Remington, DPMS, Bushmaster, etc.

IIRC, in Greek mythology "Cerberus" was a monstrous, three-headed dog that guarded the gate of Hades to keep the spirits of the dead from escaping. Probably just me, but their choice of that particular moniker for their company sort of creeps me out.
