The rifle is a fun to shoot easy to maintain system. it is a highly functional varmint gun, and when fitted with a scope, an excellent choice for shooting in areas where something larger then a 22 is desired, but a full scale hunting rifle would be too much.
Its simple blow back design makes it a relatively low maintenance weapon in terms of parts to fail. It needs regular cleaning and lubrication like any gun to keep it reliable. Most common failures are the buffer, and bolt spring. Many experts recommend an upgraded spring. It cuts down on wear on the buffer, and they shoot great.
The Marlin isn't a black gun. Synthetic stocks are available though from companies like ram line for folks who want it in flat black.
Marlin was acquired by Remington in 2007, bringing together two of the finest hunting rifle manufacturers in America, along with military arms manufacturers DPMS and Bushmaster. This foursome, known as the Freedom Group is in turn owned by Cerberus Capital Management.
I would like to see the Camp 9 and 45 make a comeback. there is a market for these trusty rifles, one that won't dry up and is desperate to be fed. Freedom Group has the capability and the market names to do it.
