What’s new and what’s gone from Marlin’s 2015 Lineup
Last week Marlin Firearms released their new 2015 catalog and in its short 12-pages are very bride-like as they contain somethings new, somethings old, somethings borrowed, and somethings blue. With that in mind, we broke it down to see just what is in store for the coming year.
One of the most interesting guns is a limited edition model of the classic 1895 rifle to include a 24-inch octagon barrel with a full-length magazine tube looks as if it stepped right off the train from the last days of the Old West.
Why yes, that IS a 24-inch octagonal barrel and full-length mag tube, thanks for asking!
The engraving on this series harkens back to the classic North Haven guns of the late 1890s.
However, it definitely has some more modern swag to include a stylized Marlin horse and rider logo in gold (24 karat) as well as an elk inlay. No mention as to the cost of these but they will be limited to 1,500 numbered guns. Overall, a nice return to the old collector’s short run guns of the Connecticut days. Last year the company offered a very handsome 336CLE that had similar but more muted styling.
Whats missing from the catalog, however, is confusing.
