Re: Stick a fork in Marlin.
Did anybody read the "UPDATE" to the article? Here is the quote from Snow...the author:
"UPDATE: I just spoke with some officials from The Freedom Group about the fate of Marlin and they told me that while the North Haven, Connecticut, plant is going to be shut down, they will continue to produce Marlin guns in the future.
Where that's going to happen is still up in the air. I asked whether production will continue in the U.S. and was told that all options were on the table. That said, the company official told me they were going to retain the existing plant's tooling and would give the to-be-laid-off employees the opportunity to apply for work at the new facility, wherever that might be.
The company says what it is certain about is the desire to keep producing Marlins and invest in the brand with no reduction in the variety of lever guns, bolt guns and rimfires.
The timeline for the closing of the existing plant won't be set until a new location for Marlin is identified."
Now...believe it or not...that is your decision, but it doesn't sound like anything has "closed" yet.
