[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3081349, member: 5412"] Sucks. Don't know much about their business model, or if they are union, but the gun companies that are making it now are lean, mean, and use modern technology like CNC machining. One person can put out a higher quality part than ten could on the old conventional machines that a lot of the old line gun makers can't seem to part with. Marlin is a prime example. When Remington bought them out and moved them to their facility in NY few of the employees went with the antique machines they operated over the years. Some of the parts that were built were from the personal notes of the machinists. There were no hard engineering records with specifications. As I read, they have moved into the modern world with their new rifles, properly documented. I didn't see Marlin in that report, so hopefully they are a business unit of the main company and aren't in the bankruptcy. [/QUOTE]
