Marlin Firearms

History of Marlin

Marlin Firearms, named after founder John Marlin, was founded in the 1870s when he began producing a wide assortment of firearms including lever-action rifles, pump-action shotguns, and single-shot rifles. He was, at the time, considered to be the main competitor to Winchester. During WWI, Marlin became one of the largest machine gun producers in the world, bringing the M1895 Colt-Browning machine gun and a later variant optimized for aircraft use, known as the “Marlin gun,” to the US and its Allies.

In 1917, Marlin Rockwell bought out the Hopkins & Allen Arms Company. This move was done to promote an expanded line of firearms and restore Marlin’s image as a “sporting arms” company. Still, for a century, Marlin labored as an underdog compared to Winchester—until the 1980s and 90s. It was then that they began to outpace their rival to become the dominant seller of lever-action rifles in North America. What makes the Marlin rifle so special? The use of side ejection which allows for a flat-top, thereby making the mounting of scopes to a Marlin rifle easier than a traditional Winchester. This major distinction helped the company capture more of the market share as American shooters began to rely on optics.

Marlins are larger, stronger, and heavier than most comparable firearms. This means that they can use higher-powered cartridges such as the .45-70. Plus, the 1894 lever-action rifles and carbines are available in handgun calibers, including .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, and .41 Magnum, making them suitable companion long guns for revolvers in those same calibers.

Today, Marlin continues to produce some of the strongest, most reliable lever guns ever conceived. Additionally, they have an extensive collection of rimfires in bolt-action, autoloading, and of course, lever-action. This is an American-made brand that keeps American values in mind. You can trust that when you purchase a Marlin Firearm, you are getting the best of the best.
