Marlin Firearms was bought out by Remington Firearms. They then moved production out of New Haven Conn. In the last year there have been many reports of poorly manufactured firearms.

I purchased a Marlin 70PT last year, Nov. 2011, through Gunbroker.com. The front sight had been installed at an angle and the micro-grooving was not cut in the barrel. I sent in in for repair. Marlin said they would replace the gun but I may not see it until March. Remington took over the repair. I knew the 70PT was no longer in production but they insisted it was. In March I contacted them again, they said, the 70PT was not being produced and would I like a 70PSS. But, I would have to wait because they've had "Production problems". It's been five months with no replacement in sight.
