Seeking constant improvement became a hallmark of Marlin engineers from day one, and that philosophy has been carried on and demonstrated throughout the 19th-21st Centuries. Beginning with the development of the first side-ejecting, solid-top receiver (called the "Marlin Safety") in 1889, to the 1953 introduction of the Micro-Groove® rifling system for improved accuracy, and through to the 2004 introduction of the T-900 Fire Control System for bolt action rimfire rifles, Marlin engineers have always made extraordinary effort to raise the bar in the firearm manufacturing industry.
The company John Marlin founded still remains dedicated to his original principles. Be assured that you can continue to look for dependable, long-lasting products bearing the name "Marlin."
