Used Marlin Values 2026:
Every Model, Every Caliber.
Founded in 1870 by John M. Marlin in New Haven, Connecticut, Marlin produced the Model 1881 (the first repeating rifle in .45-70) and through the 20th century became the premier American lever-action maker alongside Winchester. The Model 336 in .30-30 is the second-most-produced American lever rifle. Remington-era production (2008-2020) is widely considered inferior; the 'JM' (John Marlin) North Haven and Ilion stamped rifles command meaningful premiums over post-Remington 'REP' stamps. Ruger acquired Marlin in 2020 and resumed production of the 1895 in 2021 with significantly improved quality.
