MARLIN RIFLESJohn Mahlon Marlin opened his New Haven gun shop for business in 1870 to start what has become one of the industry's largest operations. With the exception of the World War I period, Marlin has always been a family controlled company. Marlin is renowned for design longevity and manufacturing quality - Models 39 and 336 are the oldest shoulder arm designs in the world still being produced. Originally introduced as Marlin Models 1891 and 1893 respectively, they still mirror the original designs. Founder John Marlin's philosophy was to manufacture better products than his competitors, and he showed a fierce pride in the guns that bore his name. In an early catalog, he said of the Marlin Model 1897: "It costs more to make and will cost you more than other .22 rifles - but it's the best .22 caliber repeater in the world if you are willing to pay for it..." Today, that same basic rifle, now called the Marlin Model 39, is considered "the Cadillac of the .22's." John Marlin's philosophy is continued today, and it has led Marlin to an enviable position in one of the nation's oldest manufacturing industries: Marlin is the largest manufacturer of .22 rifles in America. The Marlin doctrine of gun making remains the same today as in the beginning. Modern machines and materials are used, but the founder's concept of making guns simpler and better is followed religiously.
