About

Founded in 1870 as the main competitor to Winchester, Marlin Firearms was one of the largest machine gun producers in the world for the U.S. and its allies during World War I. Now they manufacture American-made semi-automatic, lever-action, and bolt-action rifles. Marlin has been owned by Sturm, Ruger & Co. since September 2020, one of the nation’s leading manufacturers of rugged, reliable firearms. During 2022 and 2023, Marlin reintroduced a lot of its classic level-action rifles, now manufactured by Ruger.
